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 1):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a casing formed with an opening; a cover movable between a closed position and an open position, the cover in the closed position closing the opening, the cover in the open position opening the opening; a locked portion provided at one of the casing and the cover, the locked portion comprising:\n a first engaged portion; and \n a second engaged portion; and \n a locking portion provided at remaining one of the casing and the cover, the locking portion comprising:\n a first pivot member pivotally movable between an engaging position and a release position about a first axis extending in an axial direction, the first pivot member comprising a first engaging portion configured to be engaged with the first engaged portion, the first engaging portion being engaged with the first engaged portion in the engaging position of the first pivot member, the first engaging portion being disengaged from the first engaged portion in the release position of the first pivot member; \n a second pivot member spaced apart from the first pivot member in the axial direction and pivotally movable between an engaging position and a release position about the first axis, the second pivot member comprising a second engaging portion configured to be engaged with the second engaged portion, the second engaging portion being engaged with the second engaged portion in the engaging position of the second pivot member, the second engaging portion being disengaged from the second engaged portion in the release position of the second pivot member; \n a third pivot member pivotally movable between a first position and a second position about a second axis extending in the axial direction, the third pivot member being in the first position in a state where the first pivot member and the second pivot member are in the engaging position, the third pivot member being in the second position in a state where the first pivot member and the second pivot member are in the release position, pivotal movement of at least one of the first pivot member, the second pivot member, and the third pivot member causing pivotal movement of remaining of the first pivot member, the second pivot member, and the third pivot member; and \n an urging member configured to urge the first pivot member to be pivotally moved to the engaging position and to urge the second pivot member to be pivotally moved to the engaging position.
