Abstract
An image reading apparatus is formed of a main portion having an image reading function; a driving source provided in the main portion; a reversing device, on which the main portion is detachably mounted; and a driving power transmitting device connected to the driving source. The reversing device has a device to reverse a document fed from the main portion in a state where the main portion is mounted thereto and to return the document back to the main portion. The driving power transmitting device drives the reversing device by transmitting a driving power from the driving source under a condition that the main portion is mounted on the reversing device. Thus, although the reversing device is not provided with a driving source, the reversing device can be actuated.
