Abstract
A printing device includes: a device case having a front aperture; a first hinge disposed in the device case; and a front cover that is disposed in the first hinge and that exposes or hides the front aperture. The first hinge includes: a joint member; a first rotation shaft that joins the front cover to the joint member; and a second rotation shaft that joins the device case to the joint member. When the front cover hides the front aperture, the joint member covers a gap between the device case and the front cover inside the device case.
