Abstract
An image reading apparatus includes a first displacement member configured to be displaced between a first non-contact position at which a medium and a feeding roller do not contact with each other and a first contact position at which those contact with other, and a second displacement member configured to be displaced between a second non-contact position at which the medium and the feeding roller do not contact with each other and a second contact position at which those contact with other. The second displacement member is displaced from the second non-contact position to the second contact position as the first displacement member is displaced from the first non-contact position to the first contact position, and is displaced from the second contact position to the second non-contact position as the first displacement member is displaced from the first contact position to the first non-contact position.
