An image forming apparatus includes a main body having an original table on which an original set is placed, a cover mount portion located at one side of the original table, and an openable original cover having a portion to be mounted on the cover mount portion of the main body. The cover holds the original set on the table. Mounted on the cover mount portion of the main body are first to fourth engaging members, which are respectively engageable with first to fourth members to be engaged, all mounted on the cover portion to be mounted, the first and fourth members to be engaged being hooks and the second and third members to be engaged being pins. These pairs are inserted and engaged with each other when the original cover is moved in a direction perpendicular to a direction to open the cover. A pair of integral upper and lower lock projections extend from the cover mount portion of the main body and the cover portion to be mounted, respectively, and these projections are locked together when the cover is moved in the indicated perpendicular direction.
