Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a main body and a cover including a first surface part and a second surface part. The cover includes a first protrusion formed on the first surface part and extending in a first direction and a second protrusion formed on the second surface part and extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The main body includes an engaging portion engaged with the first protrusion and a groove portion formed along the side surface part and having an opening that opens the front surface part so that the second protrusion is capable of being inserted into and extracted from the main body in the first direction. The groove portion has a portion inclined in a manner that the groove portion is located at a further upper side in a vertical direction as the groove portion becomes closer to the front surface part.
