An image reading device, comprising:
- a light emitting portion;
- a stick-like light guiding member, one end portion thereof in a main scanning direction being disposed to face the light emitting portion and another end portion thereof being disposed more distant from the light emitting portion than the one end portion;
- a holding member that holds the light emitting portion and the light guiding member, the holding member including
- a holding portion that disposes the light guiding member along the main scanning direction, and positions and holds the one end portion of the light guiding member;
- and
- a case member that holds the holding member,
- wherein the holding portion is configured to position and hold the light guiding member such that the one end of the light guiding member does not move towards the light emitting portion and the other end portion of the light guiding member is movable in a direction departing from the light emitting portion.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a light emitting portion;
- a stick-like light guiding member, one end portion thereof in a main scanning direction being disposed to face the light emitting portion and another end portion thereof being disposed more distant from the light emitting portion than the one end portion;
- a holding member that holds the light emitting portion and the light guiding member, the holding member including
- a holding portion that disposes the light guiding member along the main scanning direction, and positions and holds the one end portion of the light guiding member;
- and
- a case member that holds the holding member,
- wherein the holding portion is configured to position and hold the light guiding member such that the one end of the light guiding member does not move towards the light emitting portion and the other end portion of the light guiding member is movable in a direction departing from the light emitting portion.
