PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve assemblability including mounting a cable that connects a first substrate provided in a first casing and a second substrate provided in a second casing, and to provide means that is unlikely to be damaged by impact of fall or the like.SOLUTION: A multifunction machine 10 includes a printer casing 11, a scanner casing 12, and a hold member 50 that is supported in a rotatable manner by the scanner casing 12 and holds a flat cable 45 or the like. In the state where a fixed shaft 52 and a movable shaft 67 of the hold member 50 are supported in a shaft hole 82 of the scanner casing 12 and an engaging part 68 is engaged into the printer casing 11, a force F1 that is applied toward the fixed shaft 52 and the movable shaft 67 in a second direction 58 in the engaging part 68 is transmitted to an elastic support part 66 as a force F3 in a direction where a distance between the fixed shaft 52 and the movable shaft 67 is varied, and transmitted to the fixed shaft 52 as a force F2 in a direction where the fixed shaft 52 is removed from the shaft hole 82. 【課題】第１筐体に設けられた第１基板と第２筐体に設けられた第２基板とを接続するケーブルの取り付けを含む組み立て性を向上させ、かつ、落下などの衝撃によって破損が生じ難い手段を提供する。【解決手段】複合機１０は、プリンタ筐体１１と、スキャナ筐体１２と、スキャナ筐体１２に回動可能に支持されて、フラットケーブル４５等を保持する保持部材５０と、を備える。保持部材５０の固定軸５２及び移動軸６７がスキャナ筐体１２の軸孔８２に支持され、かつ係合部６８がプリンタ筐体１１に係合した状態において、係合部６８において第２方向５８の固定軸５２及び移動軸６７向きへ付与される力Ｆ１が、固定軸５２と移動軸６７との距離が変動する方向への力Ｆ３として弾性支持部６６に伝達され、かつ固定軸５２が軸孔８２から外れる向きの力Ｆ２として固定軸５２へ伝達される。【選択図】図１３
