NON-CONTACT SCANNER APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a non-contact scanner apparatus for effectively suppressing reflection light from an abutting part to an imaging part. SOLUTION: The non-contact scanner apparatus 1 includes: an abutting part 3 abutting an edge of an imaging object W such as a document; and an imaging part 4 for imaging the imaging object W, which is positioned by the abutting part 3, from the upside. Wherein, the abutting part 3 is structured to be abutted on the imaging object W at a plurality of point contact parts P in a plane view. It is preferable that the abutting part 3 presents a triangular shape with the point contact parts P as vertices in a plane view. Furthermore, it is more preferable that two side surfaces with the point contact part P therebetween are shaped to form a crossing angle of 45° or more together with respect to the edge of the imaging object W in a plane view.
