Abstract
A member moving mechanism includes a moving member, a moved member, a belt member, an openable-closable cover that is rotatable about a rotation shaft with the openable-closable cover engaged with the moving member, and a first biasing member. The moving member moves in a first negative direction with a biasing force of the first biasing member when the openable-closable cover rotates in an opening direction, while the moving member moves in a first positive direction against the biasing force of the first biasing member when the openable-closable cover rotates in a closing direction. The moving member has a boss formed to abut a first-positive-direction side of the engaging piece projecting from the rotation shaft. A biasing force in the opening direction is applied to the openable-closable cover by the boss pressing the engaging piece in the first negative direction with the biasing force of the first biasing member.
