ABSTRACT:
An opening and closing mechanism that attaches a cover body to a main body in a manner that the cover body is pivotably opened and closed, includes: a pin provided in one of the main body and the cover body; a link member pivotably provided in the other of the main body and the cover body, the link member having a first guide groove in which the pin is inserted and the pin slides during closing and opening of the cover body with respect to the main body; and a close motion braking member that is a separate member from the pin and the link member and is connected to the link member. The close motion braking member applies an external force to the link member to brake sliding of the pin in the first guide groove during closing of the cover body.
