Abstract: An air cushion having first and second rooms bends at a partition at a corner of a multi-function peripheral (MFP) and contacts a first face of the MFP at a first room outer surface and a second face of the MFP at an second room outer surface. An outer case applies pressure to the outer surfaces of the first and second rooms and presses the first and second rooms to the MFP. When the first room receives a force from outside the outer case, gas moves from the first room to the second room against pressure the outer case applies to the second room, such that a side wall of the outer case contacting the second room deforms. Upon removal of the force, the side wall returns to an original flat state and presses the second room, such that the gas returns from the second room to the first room.
