Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a first body having a scanner which scans an image and includes a scanner cover, and an operation panel disposed at a side of the scanner. The operation panel includes a panel cover, and a top surface of the scanner cover and a top surface of the panel cover are arranged in a same plane. A second body is disposed below the first body to support the first body. The first body is rotatably coupled to the second body and pivots between open and closed positions.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a first body with a scanner and an operation panel disposed on one side of the scanner. A top surface of the scanner and a top surface of the operation panel are in a same plane. A second body is disposed below the first body, to support the first body. The first body rotates between open and closed positions relative to the second body.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a substantially planar top surface includes a first body including a scanner and an operation panel disposed on one side of the scanner, and in which a top surface of the scanner and a top surface of the operation panel are in a same plane; and a second body disposed below the first body, to support the first body so that the first body rotates between open and closed positions.

Abstract: A writing instrument can prevent ink stored in an ink intake retainer body from flowing toward an air passage due to volume expansion, shock, etc., of the ink, thereby preventing the stoppage of the air passage and the ink from flowing outside the body. The writing instrument includes, an ink tank, an ink intake retainer body, a tubular drawing tip, and an ink drain restriction body, which has greater porosities than those of the ink intake retainer body. The ink drain restriction body is formed on the part of an air passage of the ink intake retainer body. Therefore, the ink drain restriction body for absorbing and storing the ink, which is drained toward the air passage due to volume expansion, shock flow, etc., is provided in the rear of the ink intake retainer.
