Scanner capable of adjusting the height of a paper cover
First Claim
1. A scanner capable of adjusting the height of a paper cover, comprising:
- a housing having a first surface defining at least two mounting holes, each of the two mounting holes being formed with two opposite catch plates;
a paper cover having an inner face with at least two locking hooks protruding outward therefrom, each locking hook including a shank having a first side and a second side each having a wing block protruded outward therefrom, each locking hook being mounted in a respective mounting hole of the housing, each wing block facing the respective catch plate; and
at least two elastic ribs each mounted beside a respective mounting hole of the housing and each having a top end formed with a catch block, the catch block of each of the elastic ribs having one side extended into the respective mounting hole and rested on the respective locking hook to provide an elastic stop effect to the respective locking hook to prevent the respective locking hook from being detached from the respective mounting hole when the locking hook of the paper cover is both perpendicular to and parallel with the respective mounting hole of the housing.

Abstract
The present invention provides a scanner including a housing defining two mounting holes. An elastic rib is located beside each of the two mounting holes to provide a retaining action. A paper cover is pivotally mounted on the housing and has two locking hooks. Each locking hook is mounted in a respective mounting hole of the housing. Thus, the height of the paper cover can be adjusted according to the variation of depth of the locking hook in the mounting hole. In addition, the locking hook is retained by the elastic rib and the catch plate of the mounting hole, such that the paper cover cannot be removed easily, thereby preventing the paper cover from being lost.
