Abstract

See full text

An image reading device includes a document table having a document read area, and an illumination unit that includes a light source configured to illuminate the document read area and a light-guiding body configured to allow light from the light source to be incident on both end portions extending in a main-scanning direction and configured to scatter or reflect the light to be emitted toward the document read area. The device includes an arc-shaped stepped portion that is formed at both end portions of the light-guiding body, a carriage that supports the illumination unit to be movable in a sub-scanning direction, a hold-down member that holds down the both end portions of the light-guiding body towards the carriage and is attached to the arc-shaped stepped portion to regulate movement of the light-guiding body in the main-scanning direction, and a photoelectric conversion unit.
