Abstract
A mechanism for opening the cover of an image recording medium cassette includes a support member angularly movable by a rotative drive source and supporting a swingable suction cup coupled to a suction device. When the rotative drive source is actuated, the suction cup is pressed against the upper surface of the cover to attract the same in response to activation of the suction device. Since the suction cup is swingable with respect to the support member, it can attract covers of various lengths which may be inclined at different angles when opened.
