See full text

An image forming apparatus includes a cover and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism restricts a turning of the cover from a closed position. The locking mechanism has a first locking member, a second locking member and a lever member. The first locking member and the second locking member are movable between a lock position where they engage with the apparatus main body and an unlock position where they disengage with the apparatus main body. The lever member moves the first locking member and the second locking member between the lock position and the unlock position. An engagement quantity of the first locking member with the apparatus main body is larger than that of the second locking member at the lock position. The first locking member is formed with an engaging piece which is turnable by turning of the cover in an opening direction at the unlock position.
