Abstract: A conveyor device includes a conveyor including a conveyor roller to convey a sheet along a conveyance path, a cover movable between a closed position where the cover covers the conveyor roller and an open position where the cover is separated from the conveyor roller. The conveyor further includes a pinch roller urged toward the conveyor roller when the cover is in the closed position. When the cover is in the closed position, the conveyor roller and the pinch roller define a nip point along the conveyance path. The conveyor device includes a holder supported by the cover and to rotatably support the pinch roller and an urging member disposed between the cover and the holder to move the holder away from the cover to urge the pinch roller toward the conveyor roller when the cover is in the closed position.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes: a main body including a document table; a document cover that includes a rear end portion supported by the main body, and a front end portion configured to be movable with respect to the main body; a conveyer that is disposed in the document cover and is configured to feed a document; and a reader that is provided in the main body. The document cover includes a lower layer portion having a wall surrounding front, rear, left and right of the conveyer and an upper layer portion covering over the conveyer. The lower layer portion includes a bottom having a shape covering the document table. The wall extends upward from an outer periphery of the bottom. The upper layer portion includes a grip portion which protrudes frontward from the upper layer portion.
