Image reading apparatus

An image reading apparatus comprising:

• a first unit, which includes a supporting platen capable of supporting a read object;
• a second unit, which is provided to the first unit and is pivotable about an axis extending a first direction to be moved between an opened position and a closed position, wherein in a case where the second unit is located in the opened position, the supporting platen is exposed, and in a case where the second unit is located in the closed position, the supporting platen is covered;
• a conveyor, which is provided to the second unit and configured to convey a sheet in a conveying direction along a conveyance path;
• a first image sensor, which is provided to the second unit and which is configured to read an image of a first surface of the sheet conveyed by the conveyor, through a first reading surface along the conveyance path;
• a second image sensor, which is provided to the first unit and is configured to read an image of a second surface opposite to the first surface of the sheet conveyed by the conveyor, through a second reading surface along the conveyance path;
• a first facing member, which is configured to face the first reading surface and to form the conveyance path between the first reading surface;
• and
• a second facing member, which configured to face the second reading surface and to form the conveyance path between the second reading surface;
• wherein as the second unit moves between the opened position and the closed position, the second facing member moves,
• wherein in a case where the second unit is located at the opened position, the first facing member upwardly protrudes from an upper face of the first unit, and
• wherein a groove is formed at a facing surface, which faces the first reading surface, of the first facing member and extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
