Abstract
The present invention relates to an image reader 3 which reads the reflected light obtained by lightening from underneath a transparency board 6 on which an image original is placed, especially a cover 30 for the image reader 3 for adjusting the bend of the image original. The cover 30 comprise a vacuum pump (not shown) for reducing the air pressure in the space formed by the transparency board 6 and a bend member 48 and an airtight member 50. Therefore the image reader 3 utilizing the cover 30 can correctly read image on both a transparency original and a reflection original, and yet be easy to manipulate when reading the reflection original.
