Summary:A fuser assembly, including a heat transfer member; a backup member disposed adjacent the heat transfer member so as to form a fuser nip; a frame in which the heat transfer member and the backup member are at least partly disposed; and a cover member pivotably coupled to the frame so as to pivot between a closed position and an open position, the cover member in the open position providing an opening for accessing and withdrawing a sheet of media disposed in the fuser assembly. A latch mechanism selectively latches the cover member to the frame and including a lever member disposed relative to an outer surface of the cover member such that movement of the lever member by a single hand of a user unlatches the cover member from the frame for moving the cover member to the open position. L'invention concerne un bloc de fixage comprenant un élément de transfert de chaleur ; un élément auxiliaire disposé adjacent à l'élément de transfert de chaleur de manière à former une zone de pincement de fixage ; un bâti dans lequel l'élément de transfert de chaleur et l'élément auxiliaire sont au moins partiellement disposés ; et un élément de recouvrement accouplé de façon pivotante au bâti de manière à pivoter entre une position fermée et une position ouverte, l'élément de recouvrement fournissant dans la position ouverte une ouverture d'accès et de retrait d'une feuille de support disposée dans le bloc de fixage. Un mécanisme de verrouillage verrouille sélectivement l'élément de recouvrement au bâti et comprend un élément levier disposé par rapport à une surface extérieure de l'élément de recouvrement de sorte qu'un déplacement de l'élément levier par une seule main d'un utilisateur déverrouille l'élément de recouvrement du bâti pour amener l'élément de recouvrement dans la position ouverte.
