Abstract:
A multi-function apparatus includes a body, an image reading unit, a document cover and a locking member. The image reading unit is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The document cover is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The locking member is movable to a first position and a second position and includes a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion. In response to a movement of the document cover to the opened position, the locking member moves to the first position and locks the image reading unit to the closed position. In response to a movement of the image reading unit to the opened position, the locking member moves to the second position and locks the document cover to the closed position.

Claim (Index 1):
A multi-function apparatus comprising:\n a body; an image reading unit which has a document placing surface and which is configured to read an image of a document placed on the document placing surface, the image reading unit being movable between a closed position to cover an upper portion of the body and an opened position to open the upper portion, the image reading unit including a housing provided with a slot; a document cover movable between a closed position to cover the document placing surface and an opened position to open the document placing surface; a first engagement portion configured to engage with the body, the first engagement portion having a first arm and a first hook, the first hook extending from an end of the first arm substantially perpendicularly; and a second engagement portion configured to engage with the document cover, the second engagement portion having a second arm and a second hook, the second hook extending from an end of the second arm substantially perpendicularly and being folded at a distal end of the second hook and extending substantially parallel to the second arm, the second engagement portion including a shaft configured to be positioned in the slot, the second engagement portion being movable upward and downward when the shaft is positioned in the slot, wherein when the document cover is located in the opened position, the shaft is positioned in an upper portion of the slot and the first engagement portion engages with the body and locks the image reading unit to the closed position, and when the image reading unit is located in the opened position, the shaft is positioned in a lower portion of the slot and the second engagement portion engages with the document cover and locks the document cover to the closed position.
