Image forming apparatus

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:

an apparatus main body with an opening formed in an upper face thereof;

an original document reading device configured to open and close the opening;

an original document holder configured to be openably and closably supported by the original document reading device;

a first lock mechanism configured to lock opening and closing of the original document reading device with respect to the apparatus main body; and

a second lock mechanism configured to lock opening and closing of the original document holder with respect to the original document reading device; and

an upper cover configured to open and close the opening formed in the upper face of the apparatus main body,

wherein the first lock mechanism and the second lock mechanism are disposed inside a cabinet of the original document reading device, and

wherein the upper cover is configured to open and close the opening synchronously with opening and closing of the original document reading device.

2. An image forming apparatus, comprising:

an apparatus main body with an opening formed in an upper face thereof;

an original document reading device configured to open and close the opening;

an original document holder configured to be openably and closably supported by the original document reading device;

a first lock mechanism configured to lock opening and closing of the oriqinal document reading device with respect to the apparatus main body; and

a second lock mechanism configured to lock opening and closing of the original document holder with respect to the original document reading device,

wherein the first lock mechanism and the second lock mechanism are disposed inside a cabinet of the original document reading device,

wherein release of locking performed by the first lock mechanism is inhibited when the original document holder is opened with respect to the original document reading device under a condition in which the original document reading device is closed with respect to the apparatus main body, and

wherein release of locking performed by the second lock mechanism is inhibited when the original document reading device is opened with respect to the apparatus main body under a condition in which the original document holder is closed with respect to the original document reading device.

3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first lock mechanism comprises:

a lever shaft configured to be rotated by an operation lever;

a hook configured to rotate along with the lever shaft and be engageable with an engagement part provided on the apparatus main body; and

a first spring configured to bias the lever shaft and the hook in a direction to cause the hook to engage with the engagement part; and

wherein the second lock mechanism comprises:

an original document holder lock member provided on the original document holder and comprising an engagement hole, and

a lock member that has a hook engageable with the engagement hole,

the image forming apparatus further comprising:

a link rod disposed orthogonal to the lever shaft and configured to be movable back and forth with respect to the operation lever;

a pin provided on a first end side of the link rod and configured to be engageable with an engagement concave part provided in the operation lever; and

a mechanism comprising a second spring configured to bias the link rod toward the operation lever,

wherein when the original document holder is closed, the original document holder lock member causes the link rod to slide toward a second end side thereof against a biasing force exerted by the second spring, thereby causing the pin provided on the first end side of the link rod to disengage from the engagement concave part of the operation lever, so that the opening and closing lock of the original document reading device performed by the first lock mechanism is releasable, and

wherein when the original document holder is opened, the link rod slides to the first end side thereof due to the biasing force exerted by the second spring, thereby causing the pin to engage with the engagement concave part of the operation lever, so that the opening and closing lock of the original document reading device performed by the first lock mechanism is maintained.

4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second lock mechanism comprises:

an original document holder lock member provided on the original document holder and comprising an engagement hole;

a lock member configured to be rotatable about a predetermined shaft and comprising a hook engageable with the engagement hole and a pressing arm abutable with a projection provided on the apparatus main body; and

a spring configured to bias the lock member to rotate in a direction in which the hook engages with the engagement hole,

wherein when the original document reading device is closed, the projection abuts the pressing arm to cause the lock member to rotate against a biasing force exerted by the spring of the second lock mechanism, thereby causing the hook to disengage from the engagement hole of the original document holder lock member, so that rotation lock of the original document holder performed by the second lock mechanism is released, and

wherein when the original document reading device is opened, the projection departs away from the pressing arm to cause the lock member to rotate by the biasing force exerted by the spring, thereby causing the hook to engage with the engagement hole of the original document holder lock member, so that the opening and closing lock of the original document holder performed by the second lock mechanism is maintained.
