Abstract
A first fixing part of a reinforcing member is fixed to a housing such that a weak-axis, where a second moment of area in a cross section of the reinforcing member in the first fixing part is minimum, intersects with a top surface, which reduces deterioration of user operability while a risk of disconnection of a cable connecting an operation unit and an image forming apparatus to each other is reduced.
