Abstract
An opening-closing mechanism includes an opening-closing panel that is rotatably supported so as to be movable between a closed position and an open position; an engagement member that is rotatably supported by the opening-closing panel; a link member that is rotatably supported by a rotating shaft provided on the apparatus body; and a guide member that is supported by a support shaft on the opening-closing panel so that the guide member is rotatable in a rotation direction and movable in a direction that crosses the rotation direction. The guide member includes a first guide surface that moves while being in contact with the link member when the opening-closing panel moves to the closed position, and a second guide surface that moves while being in contact with the link member when the opening-closing panel moves to the open position.
