Abstract: A paper ejection device includes: an ejection portion that ejects sheets of paper; a housing portion that houses the ejected sheets of paper in a sequentially stacked state; and a guiding portion that guides the sheets of paper, before being ejected, to the ejection portion while curving the sheets of paper. The housing portion is adjustable to plural angles including at least an angle at which the ejected sheets of paper are housed while being curved in a direction opposite to a direction in which the sheets of paper have been curved by the guiding portion.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a covering provided along a side surface of a body of the image forming apparatus, provided with a rotation shaft on a lower side of the covering, and provided to be openable and closable with respect to the body; an interior section provided on a side of the covering near the body, releasably coupled to the covering by a coupling portion, and provided to be openable and closable with respect to the body; a first limit portion that is attached to the interior section and the body, and that limits a maximum opening angle between the interior section and the body; and a second limit portion that is attached to the covering and the body, and that limits a maximum opening angle between the covering and the body to an angle larger than the maximum opening angle between the interior section and the body.

Abstract: A document reading device includes: a document reading device main body; and an opening/closing body with one end supported rotatably with respect to the document reading device main body while another end openably/closably provided, the other end of the opening/closing body being provided with a handgrip having a depression sloped toward inside of the opening/closing body in accordance with approach of the opening/closing body to the document reading device main body in a closed status with respect to the document reading device main body.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming apparatus main body; an ejection portion; a structure; a mounting mechanism; and a supporting member. The image forming apparatus main body has a cutout continuous with a space, the cutout being formed in such a manner as to straddle a surface of the image forming apparatus main body on a side thereof on which a recording medium is retrieved from the ejection portion and a surface of the image forming apparatus main body on one side thereof in a direction of a rotary shaft. An end of the supporting member being located at a position more distant than one end from the surface of the image forming apparatus main body on the side thereof on which the recording medium is retrieved from the ejection portion, in a state in which the structure is located in a second position.
