An analyzing apparatus has a partition dividing the interior of a housing into a lower space accommodating a power supply/control unit which generates heat and a duct and an upper space accommodating other units. Heat generated by cooling devices is exhausted to the exterior of the housing through the duct while the heat generated by the power supply/control unit is otherwise exhausted to the exterior. This construction makes it possible to achieve an improved heat exhaust efficiency and efficient cooling of a reaction unit provided in the upper space of the housing. A cover holding mechanism includes at least one each spring cam hinge and friction hinge. The spring cam hinge is formed of a cam mechanism and a spring which together produce a force acting on a cover in its opening or closing direction, the direction of the force reversing at a specific angle of the cover halfway between its open and closed positions, while the friction hinge produces a frictional force which works to hold the cover at any position between its open and closed positions. The spring produces an auxiliary force to facilitate cover-opening action, and the force produced by the spring works together with the frictional force to prevent the falling of the cover during its closing motion, enabling smooth cover-opening and closing actions.

What is claimed is: 1. An analyzing apparatus whose interior is divided into an upper space and lower space, further comprising: a set of elements contained within the upper space, including: a reagent unit, a cooling device for cooling said reagent unit, a sample storage unit, and a reaction unit; a power supply/control unit contained within the lower space, said power supply/control unit for feeding electric power to and controlling said set of elements; a housing enclosing said set of elements and power supply/control unit; a partition dividing the interior of said housing into the upper space and the lower space; and at least two hinges provided between said housing and a cover covering a top surface of said housing, said hinges supporting the cover in a manner that the cover can be freely opened and closed and held at a desired position; wherein at least one of said hinges is a first hinge which produces a force acting on the cover in its opening or closing direction, the direction, the direction of the force reversing at a specific position of the cover, and at least another one of said hinges is a second hinge which produces a force acting on the cover in a direction opposite to the direction of its swing motion. 2. An analyzing apparatus whose interior is divided into an upper space and lower space, comprising: a set of elements contained within the upper space, including: a reagent unit, a cooling device for cooling said reagent unit, a sample storage unit, and a reaction unit; a power supply/control unit contained within the lower space, said power supply/control unit for feeding electric power to and controlling said set of elements; a housing enclosing said set of elements and power supply/control unit; a partition dividing the interior of said housing into the upper space and the lower space; and at least two hinges provided between said housing and a cover covering a top surface of said housing, said hinges supporting the cover in a manner that the cover can be freely opened and closed and held at a desired position; wherein at least one of said hinges is a spring cam hinge including a cam mechanism and a spring capable of producing a force acting on the cover in its opening or closing direction, the direction of the force reversing at a specific angle of the cover halfway between its open and closed positions, and at least another one of said hinges is a friction hinge capable of producing a frictional force which works to hold the cover at any position between its open and closed positions. 3. An analyzing apparatus whose interior is divided into an upper space and lower space, comprising: a set of elements contained within the upper space, including: a reagent unit, a cooling device for cooling said reagent unit, a sample storage unit, and a reaction unit; a power supply/control unit contained within the lower space, said power supply/control unit for feeding electric power to and controlling said set of elements; a housing enclosing said set of elements and power supply/control unit; a partition dividing the interior of said housing into the upper space and the lower space; and at least two hinges provided between said housing and a cover covering a top surface of said housing, said hinges supporting the cover in a manner that the cover can be freely opened and closed and held at a desired position; wherein at least one of said hinges is a spring cam hinge including a cam mechanism and a spring capable of producing a force acting on the cover in its opening or closing direction, the direction of the force reversing at a specific angle of the cover halfway between its open and closed positions, and at least another one of said hinges is a friction hinge capable of producing a frictional force which works to hold the cover at any position between its open and closed positions; and wherein a cover-opening or closing force due to the sum of the force produced by the spring cam hinge and the weight of the cover is smaller than the frictional force produced by the friction hinge at any position of the cover between its open and closed positions. 4. An analyzing apparatus comprising: a set of elements, including: a reagent unit, a cooling device for cooling said reagent unit, a sample storage unit, and a reaction unit; a control unit for controlling said set of elements; a housing enclosing said set of elements and control unit; and at least two hinges provided between said housing and a cover covering a top surface of said housing, said hinges supporting the cover in a manner that the cover can be freely opened and closed and held at a desired position; wherein at least one of said hinges is a first hinge which produces a force acting on the cover in its opening or closing direction, the direction of the force reversing at a specific position of the cover, and at least another one of said hinges is a second hinge which produces a force acting on the cover in a direction opposite to the direction of its swing motion.
