Further, as in the third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 5, two long and short claws 7a and 7b are provided on the side wall of the storage groove 6 so that the two receiving portions 2a and 2b can be stacked and stored. The receiving portions 2a, 2b so as to correspond to the nail 7 of
The notches 9a and 9b may be provided. In such a configuration,
At the time of engaging and disengaging the receiving portions 2a and 2b with respect to the main body 1, it is possible to engage and disengage with the plurality of receiving portions 2a and 2b being stacked, and the labor of work is reduced by half.

<Effect of the Invention> As is apparent from the above description, according to claim 1 of the present invention, the receiving portion projecting from the main body during use is detachably attached to the side surface of the main body, and the document cover is laterally attached to the upper surface of the main body. In a copying machine mounted so as to be rotatable about an axis, bent portions are formed at both ends of the receiving portion, and a storage groove for storing the folded portion is provided on an upper surface of the original cover. Therefore, when the copier is carried or packed, the receiving portion can be removed and stored in the main body, and it is possible to prevent the receiving portion from being lost or becoming an obstacle. Further, since the width of the copying machine is reduced, it is possible to achieve downsizing and space saving. Since the bent portion for feeding or discharging the receiving portion can be housed in the housing groove, the overall height can be reduced by that amount, and the compactness in transportation / packing can be promoted.

Also, because the storage groove is formed in the direction parallel to the horizontal axis,
Even if the document cover is opened and closed with the receiving part attached to the document cover, the receiving part is caught in the storage groove, so that the receiving part can be prevented from sliding down due to its own weight.

According to claim 2, the storage groove is formed parallel to the handle, or according to claim 3, the handle is arranged on the side surface of the main body other than the surface of the bent portion on the insertion direction side into the storage groove. When carrying the main body by grasping, the surface of the bent portion on the side of the detachment direction from the storage groove is not located under the main body, and the receiving portion is caught in the storage groove, so that the removal can be prevented.

According to the fourth aspect, since the plurality of receiving portions are housed in an overlapping manner, the plurality of receiving portions can be engaged with and disengaged from the main body at the same time, which facilitates the work.

According to the fifth aspect, since the storage section is arranged at the bottom of the main body, the storage section cannot be seen by the user during use, and the appearance as a copying machine can be exhibited.

According to the sixth aspect, since the inclined surface is formed at the end portion of the storage groove, it is possible to prevent the reception portion from being damaged due to the collision between the reception portion and the end wall of the storage groove. Further, since the end portion of the bent portion is pressed against the inclined surface by the pressing means after the bent portion is housed in the housing groove, even if the housing groove is tilted, the space between the bent portion and the inclined surface is Due to the frictional resistance, there is an excellent effect that slipping of the bent portion from the storage groove can be prevented.
