Abstract
A member moving mechanism includes a moving member movable in first positive and negative directions, a moved member that moves in second positive and negative directions when the moving member moves, a belt member connecting the moving member to the moved member, a belt-member guide member, an openable-closable cover engaged with the moving member, a first biasing member that biases the moved member in the second negative direction, and a second biasing member that biases the moving member in the first positive direction with a biasing force larger than that of the first biasing member. The moving member moves in the first positive direction with the biasing force of the second biasing member when the openable-closable cover moves in an opening direction, while the moving member moves in the first negative direction against the biasing force of the second biasing member when the openable-closable cover moves in a closing direction.
