Abstract
An image reading device includes: a base member; an outer cover; a top plate member; a carriage; a reading unit; a first drive unit; and a first power supply cable. The base member has a bottom wall, and a peripheral wall defining a moving space in combination with the base member. The outer cover covers the peripheral wall such that the inner surface of the outer cover is opposed to and spaced apart from the outer surface of the peripheral wall. The inner surface and the outer surface define a housing space therebetween. The reading unit reads an image from a medium placed on a platen glass while the carriage is reciprocatingly moved inside the moving space along a moving direction. The first drive unit is supported at the base member and reciprocatingly moves the carriage. The first power supply cable is connected to the first drive unit and accommodated in the housing space.
