IMAGE READER

To eliminate the need for adjustment work of a fitting height of an ADF for the image reading part body.SOLUTION: An image reader 102 includes: a document feeding device 201; an image reading part body 202: a moving document reading glass 303; an image reading part 16 which can be located below the moving document reading glass, and reads an image of a document fed on the moving document reading glass by the document feeding device; hinges 205, 206 which support the document feeding device rotatably for the image reading part body; an oscillation pedestal base 306 which supports at least one hinge; an oscillation shaft 307 which supports the oscillation pedestal base swingably for the image reading part body; and a front side butt part 309 which is provided on the front side opposite to the depth side of the document feeding device to which the hinge is mounted, and can come into contact with a contact surface of the moving document reading glass when the document feeding device is closed. An oscillation center 307a of the oscillation shaft is provided at a position of the same height as the contact surface 303a of the moving document reading glass, or a position below the contact surface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】画像読取部本体に対するＡＤＦの取り付け高さの調整作業を不要にする。【解決手段】画像読取装置１０２は、原稿搬送装置２０１と、画像読取部本体２０２と、流し読みガラス３０３と、流し読みガラスの下方に位置することができ、原稿搬送装置によって流し読みガラスの上を搬送される原稿の画像を読み取る画像読取部１６と、画像読取部本体に対して原稿搬送装置を回動可能に支持するヒンジ２０５、２０６と、ヒンジのうちの少なくとも一つを支持する揺動台座３０６と、揺動台座を画像読取部本体に対して揺動可能に支持する揺動軸３０７と、ヒンジが取り付けられた原稿搬送装置の奥側と反対の前側に設けられ、原稿搬送装置が閉じられたときに流し読みガラスの接触面に接触可能な前側突き当て部３０９と、を備え、揺動軸の揺動中心３０７ａは、流し読みガラスの接触面３０３ａと同じ高さの位置に又は接触面よりも下方の位置に設けられる。【選択図】図３
