Abstract
An image processor, including a housing having a transparent plate disposed on the upper surface thereof, and a swing frame pivotally mounted on the housing. In the swing frame is disposed a document conveyer which includes document suppressing rollers. In a state where the swing frame is brought to the closed position, the document suppressing rollers extend over the transparent plate, maintaining a space relative thereto in the direction of width of the transparent plate. A first shaft member is mounted on the swing frame, a pair of support brackets are rotatably mounted on the first shaft member separated by a distance in the axial direction, a second shaft member is mounted on the pair of support brackets to extend in the direction of width of the transparent plate in a state where the swing frame is brought to the closed position, and the document suppressing rollers are mounted on the second shaft member. First position restriction devices are disposed in relation to the pair of support brackets and are brought into contact with the upper surface of the transparent plate so as to restrict the space between the transparent plate and the document suppressing rollers.
