Abstract
A cover is turned in a closing direction, and thus a first pressing portion starts to press a unit-side reception portion, after a contact point of a hook portion with a boss portion passes through the lowest point of the boss portion, a second pressing portion starts to press a hook-side reception portion, and the hook portion engages with the boss portion, until the cover reaches a closed position, the unit-side reception portion is separated from the first pressing portion and the turning of the cover in the closing direction is continued, and thus the second pressing portion rides over the hook-side reception portion to release the pressing of the hook-side reception portion performed by the second pressing portion.
