Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a casing; a cover; a locked portion provided at one of the casing and the cover; and a locking portion provided at remaining one of the casing and the cover. The locking portion includes: a first pivot member; a second pivot member spaced apart from the first pivot member; and a third pivot member. Each of the first pivot member and the second pivot member is pivotally movable between an engaging position and a release position about a first axis. The third pivot member is pivotally movable between a first position and a second position about a second axis. Pivotal movement of at least one of the first pivot member, the second pivot member, and the third pivot member causes pivotal movement of the remaining of the first pivot member, the second pivot member, and the third pivot member.

Claim (Index 6):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the third pivot member further comprises:\n a center shaft coaxial with the second axis and disposed below the accommodating portion, the center shaft having an upper surface; and a parallel shaft extending in parallel with the center shaft, the parallel shaft being disposed below the accommodating portion at a position downstream of the center shaft in the sheet discharging direction, the parallel shaft having one end connected to the first transmission-receiving portion and another end connected to the second transmission portion, the parallel shaft having an upper surface positioned lower than the upper surface of the center shaft, wherein, in the non-used position, the sheet stopper has an upper surface inclined diagonally downward from an upstream side toward a downstream side in the sheet discharging direction, and wherein the accommodating portion has a lower surface inclined diagonally downward from the upstream side toward the downstream side in the sheet discharging direction.
