Abstract
In the cover opening and dosing device of the present invention, among clearances between a cover and a first cabinet, a clearanceclosest to protrusions on the first cabinet is made to have a larger width than other clearances. Thus, even when the protrusions are accidentally bumped against the wall or the like and the first cabinet in the vicinity of the protrusions is locally deformed, it is possible to absorb the deformation. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility of the development of trouble in opening and dosing the cover.
