Abstract
An image reading apparatus includes an image reading part that reads an image formed on a recording medium, an accommodating unit that accommodates the image reading part and supports the image reading part in such a manner that the image reading part is capable of being displaced toward a side on which the recording medium is to be disposed, and an urging member that urges, in the accommodating unit, the image reading part toward the side on which the recording medium is to be disposed. The accommodating unit includes an urging-member-mounting portion in which the urging member is mounted, and at least one window is formed in the urging-member-mounting portion on a side opposite to a side on which the image reading part is disposed.
