IMAGE READING DEVICE AND IMAGE READING AND FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

An image reading device includes first and second image reading platforms that are separated from each other with a separation member, an image reading element movable between positions facing the first and second image reading platforms, a pair of sliding members that is slideable in a direction according to the movement of the image reading element on a pair of sliding paths that extends in the direction and is disposed so as to be spaced apart from each other in another direction intersecting with the direction and that is provided so as to at least partially overlap with the first and second image reading platforms; and a pair of protrusions disposed on parts of the pair of sliding paths positioned on both sides of the separation member in the another direction and that protrudes further toward the pair of sliding members from the first and second image reading platforms.

主权项

1. An image reading device, comprising:
a first image reading platform and a second image reading platform arranged in a first direction and separated from each other with a separation member; an image reading element that is movable between a position facing the first image reading platform and a position facing the second image reading platform; a pair of sliding members that is slideable in the first direction according to the movement of the image reading element on a pair of sliding paths that extends in the first direction and is disposed so as to be spaced apart from each other in a second direction intersecting with the first direction and that is provided so as to at least partially overlap with the first image reading platform and the second image reading platform; and at least a pair of protrusions that is disposed on parts of the pair of sliding paths positioned on both sides of the separation member in the second direction and that protrudes further toward the pair of sliding members from the first image reading platform and the second image reading platform.
