Abstract
A link member interlinks an external member forming part of a cabinet of an apparatus and an internal member capable of pivoting about a pivot shaft located more deeply inside the apparatus than the external member for causing the internal member to pivot in cooperation with the external member pivoting. The link member has a stretchable length and is provided with a resilient biasing member biasing the link member in such a direction as to stretch the length. When the external member is in its closed position, the internal member is positioned to abut a predetermined contact portion by the biasing force of the resilient biasing member. Parts storage shelves are provided in the space defined between the external member and the internal member.
