IMAGE READER AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image reader capable of achieving flow reading operation and fixed reading operation by providing a flow reading region and a fixed reading region on a transparent plate and to provide an image forming device provided with the image reader to scoop up a document conveyed in the direction toward the fixed reading region on the flow reading region satisfactorily while suppressing reduction of strength of the transparent plate. SOLUTION: A tip 52a on the left side (a flow reading region 51a side) of a scooping-up member 52 is fitted into a bottomed hole 51c provided at the center in the direction of width between the flow reading region 51a and the fixed reading region 51b of a platen glass 51. A left side end fringe 52b other than the tip 52a of the scooping-up member 52 is obliquely arranged toward the downstream side in the direction of document conveyance from the tip 52a. For this reason, the document is first abutted on the tip 52a to scoop up the document without being caught because the tip 52a is extended downward more than an upper face of the platen glass 51.
