Description

The present invention relates to electronic equipment.

An electronic device such as an image forming apparatus generally includes an opening for maintenance and an outer cover that closes the opening. The outer cover is hinged and openable. A fixing device is provided remote from the hinge for fixing the outer cover in the closed state. Fixing devices include those that use the attractive force of magnets and those that use hooks. However, as the size of the device increases, the outer cover also becomes larger and heavier. Therefore, conventionally, techniques for adjusting the position of the outer cover have been studied. For example, in Patent Document 1, an attracting member having a magnet and an attracting member that is attracted to the attracting member by magnetic force are provided, and at least one of the attracting member and the attracting member intersects the opening/closing direction of the opening/closing member. An opening/closing member holding device has been proposed in which the position can be adjusted by moving in a plane direction.
