Abstract
A movable member includes a second engagement portion that is engaged with a first engagement portion of a drawing port cover at a reference position when the drawing port cover is closed. One of the movable member and the drawing port cover has a slide surface. The other of the movable member and the drawing port cover includes a contact portion. In the process of the movement of the drawing port cover to a closed position, the movable member is moved to a retraction position by force applied by the contact portion sliding on the slide surface. When the drawing port cover is located at the closed position, the movable member is held at the reference position by biasing force of the second-direction biasing member and the drawing port cover is held at the closed position by engagement between the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion.
