ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus which may be portable wherein the apparatus is divisible into plural parts or wherein it is openable. The apparatus is provided with a latch which can take a latching position for preventing the dividing or opening of the apparatus and a releasing position for allowing the apparatus to be divided or opened. The latch shifts between the positions depending on the posture of the apparatus. When the apparatus takes its horizontal posture wherein it is operable for image formation, the latch is released to allow the apparatus to be opened. When the apparatus is placed or carried in an upright position, the latch is prevented from taking its releasing position, thus preventing the apparatus from being divided or opened erroneously.
