Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a restriction member that is rotatable between a first position, in which opening of a locking cover is restrictable in engagement with the locking cover, and a second position in which engagement with the locking cover is disengaged, a coil spring that urges the restriction member to the first position, a solenoid that is driven according to electric conduction to move the restriction member to the second position, a link member that transmits driving force generated in the solenoid to the restriction member, and a restraint part that restrains movement of the link member in a direction crossing a driving direction.
