An apparatus for reading an image, comprising:
- an original mounting table for mounting an original;
- a first carriage which has a light source for irradiating light to the original and an optical system for guiding original-image light reflected from the original, and which moves along the original mounting table;
- a lens unit having a lens into which the original-image light enters, disposed immediately under a passage on which the first carriage moves;
- a charge coupled device assembly for receiving the original-image light passed through the lens and reading an image corresponding to the original-image light;
- a lens bracket cover, attached to the charge coupled device assembly, having a bracket portion, and a cover portion for covering the lens unit and the charge coupled device assembly, the bracket portion and the cover portion being integrally formed by press molding, an inner surface of the cover portion being contacted with an upper surface of the lens;
- and
- a lens base being connected to the bracket portion of the lens bracket cover, for supporting the lens unit.
