Abstract
An image communication device having a lower and an upper chassis, the lower chassis having a plurality of rollers for transporting original documents and a guide plate for guiding them, the upper chassis being located above the lower chassis and having a plurality of rollers for transporting recording paper. The lower chassis has a pair of side plates whose top edges contain a plurality of open-ended recesses. Inside the recesses are bearings that rotatably support the document transporting rollers. The guide plate has projections that press the bearings against the recess bottoms. Attaching the guide plate to the lower chassis causes the projections of the former to fix the bearings concurrently. The bearings and guide plate are preferably made up of conductive materials. The rollers are connected to ground via the bearings and guide plate.
