Claims16
An image reading apparatus comprising:
- a rotatable feeding member configured to feed a sheet;
- reading unit configured to read, at a reading position, an image on the sheet fed by said rotatable feeding member;
- a feeding guide provided between said rotatable feeding member and the reading position with respect to a feeding direction of the sheet and configured to define an inside of a curved feeding passage as seen in an axial direction of said rotatable feeding member;
- a first driven rolling member projecting from said feeding guide and rotatable by contact with the sheet fed by said rotatable feeding member;
- and
- a second driven rolling member projecting from said feeding guide and including a rotation center provided downstream of a rotation center of said first driven rolling member with respect to the feeding direction, wherein said second driven rolling member is rotatable by contact with the sheet fed by said rotatable feeding member,
- wherein said first driven rolling member and said second driven rolling member are provided in overlapping directions as seen in the axial direction and are provided in non-overlapping directions as seen in the feeding direction.
