Patent number: 9185259Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a reading apparatus body, an accommodation member, and a positioning member. The reading apparatus body reads a document mounted on a document platen. The accommodation member accommodates the reading apparatus body and moves from one end portion to the other end portion of the document when reading the document. The positioning member is mounted on the reading apparatus body, the positioning member having a convex section positioning the reading apparatus body in a height direction by coming into contact with the document platen and an engaging section engaging with an engaged section formed in the accommodation member in the height direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2014Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Tadashi Sugizaki, Mari Uematsu, Yasuhiro Kitaichi, Hiroshi Watanabe
