Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting unit that ejects a liquid to a medium, a liquid storage unit including at least one liquid container for storing the liquid and located on a front side of the apparatus, an operation panel located on the front side of the apparatus, and through which operations are inputted, and a medium output tray located on the front side of the apparatus to receive the medium discharged. The liquid storage unit and the medium output tray are both protruding forward with respect to the operation panel. The liquid storage unit includes a pivotal cover that opens and closes at least a part of the liquid container, a lock unit that locks the cover with a lock device when the cover is closed, and a lock device mounting base on which the lock device is mounted.

Abstract: A scanner includes: platen glass, a housing, and an upper left frame (and an upper right frame) which is formed around the platen glass. An engagement section at which the upper left frame engages with the housing is configured to include a hook and a loop member. The hook includes a first inclined portion that allows engagement with the loop member to be performed when the upper left frame is attached to the housing in a vertically downward direction and a second inclined portion that allows the loop member to be disengaged from an engaged state between the hook and the loop member when the upper left frame is shifted with respect to the housing in a second direction intersecting with a first direction.
