Image Reading Apparatus

摘要

An image reading apparatus includes a main unit having a document support surface configured to support a document on the document support surface, a reading unit accommodated in the main unit and configured to read an image of the document supported on the document support surface, and an openable unit coupled to the main unit and configured to pivot about a pivot axis between a closed position where the document support surface of the main unit is covered and a released position where the document support surface of the main unit is exposed. The pivot axis of the openable unit is located, in the main unit, below the document support surface and at a rear of the document support surface.

1. An image reading apparatus comprising:
a main unit having a document support surface configured to support a document on the document support surface, the main unit including a frame member holding edges of the document support surface; a reading unit accommodated in the main unit and configured to read an image of the document supported on the document support surface; and an openable unit coupled to the main unit and configured to pivot about a pivot axis between a closed position where the document support surface of the main unit is covered and a released position where the document support surface of the main unit is exposed, wherein the frame member of the main unit has a first surface located adjacent to the document support surface and extending in a first direction parallel to the document support surface, and a second surface being continuous with the first surface and extending in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the document support surface, and wherein the pivot axis of the openable unit extends in parallel to a specified edge of the document support surface, and the pivot axis is located in the first direction between the second surface and the specified edge of the document support surface and below the first surface in the second direction.
