An apparatus includes a cover including a protrusion and provided to be movable, and an abutment unit provided to be capable of abutting the protrusion and including a second member for applying a force to a first member of an image forming apparatus. The abutment unit includes a first surface which abuts the protrusion in a case where the cover is shifted from an opened state to a closed state and a second surface which abuts the protrusion in a case where the cover is shifted to the closed state after having abutted the first surface, and the protrusion is applied a force from a rotational force of the abutment unit when the protrusion abuts the second surface, and the second member of the abutment unit applies a force to the first member when the cover is in the closed state.
