IMAGE READING APPARATUS

There is provided an image reading apparatus including: a reading device; a carriage which the reading device is loaded; a support shaft which is formed of a conductive material, which is grounded to a ground potential, and which supports the carriage; and a conduction member which allows a conductive part of the carriage and the support shaft to be electrically conducted to each other, in which the carriage includes a bearing section which is formed of a material having electric insulation properties, in which the bearing section is supported by the support shaft in a state of abutting against the support shaft from one side of the support shaft in a direction intersecting with a shaft line of the support shaft, and in which the conduction member is fixed to the carriage, and abuts against the support shaft from a side opposite to the support shaft.
