Abstract

An image reader comprising a main body with a document table supporting an original document; and a document cover rotatably supported on one edge of the main body and capable of switching between a closed position covering the document table and a document table exposed Turn between open positions. The document cover has a main cover body and a document pressure plate formed of synthetic resin. The pressure plate is supported on the main cover body by engagement of the joint portion having a through hole, and has a vertical clearance (in a direction normal to the surface of the pressure plate). When the document cover is in the closed position, the pressing part presses the central part of the pressing plate against the document table.

Description

technical field [0001] One embodiment of the present invention relates to an image reader, and an image forming apparatus equipped with the image reader. An embodiment of the present invention may relate to an image reader having a document pressing plate for pressing an original document placed on a document supporting surface. Background technique [0002] For example, imaging devices with scanner functionality are known in the art. One such imaging device includes a document support surface formed of a glass plate or the like and disposed on the top surface of the imaging device body, and an optical scanning device disposed below the document support surface for For reading image data from an original document placed on a document support surface. With this configuration, if the document has a bend or curl that partially lifts it off the document support surface, the original document cannot be read normally. Therefore, the image forming apparatus further includes a do...
