ABSTRACT:
A locking mechanism of the present invention is for locking a cover to a body of an apparatus when the cover closes the body. The locking mechanism includes a strip-shaped portion having a free end portion and an engagement hole into which the free end portion projects when the cover is closed. The strip-shaped portion is formed on the cover and engages the body to resiliently deform when the cover is moved in a closing direction in which the cover closes the body. The strip-shaped portion engages the body to resiliently deform when the cover is moved in an opening direction in which the cover opens the body. The opening direction is opposite to the closing direction. The body has a portion defining an engagement hole into which the free end portion projects to engage the wall of the engagement hole when the cover closes the body, and from which the free end portion projects out of the engagement with the wall when the cover is moved in the opening direction.
