Abstract
An image forming device includes a casing formed with an opening, a pivot member pivotably disposed in the casing so as to be selectively opened and closed, a cover disposed outward of the pivot member, a lock mechanism that maintains a closed state of the pivot member, and a link mechanism. When a first force is applied on the cover to open the cover beyond a predetermined angle, the link mechanism transmits the first force as a second force to the pivot member. The second force is in an opening direction of the pivot member.
