Abstract
An image reading apparatus includes a reader, a conveying path, a conveyer, a conveyer housing, and a frame. The conveying path guides the sheet having the image to a reading position and guides the sheet read by the reader in an ejecting direction. The conveyer conveys the sheet along the conveying path. The conveyer housing supports the conveying path and the conveyer. The frame comprises columns and beams that connect adjacent columns. The frame individually fixes the reader and the conveyer housing. The columns are provided with resilient conveying-housing fixing members, the conveying-housing fixing members each having a length smaller than the distance between adjacent columns. The conveying-housing fixing members comprise a material having rigidity lower than the material of the beams. The conveyer housing is fixed to the frame by the conveying-housing fixing members. The reader is fixed to the beams.
