Claim Text:
1. An image processing device comprising: a moving body composed of a resin member, the moving body having an upper surface on which a holding plate which holds an electric component used for image processing is mounted, the moving body being formed in a shape which is elongated in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to a predetermined moving direction; a housing including a pair of side walls between which the moving body is housed therein; a support portion provided to the housing, the support portion being configured to support the moving body such that the moving body is movable in a predetermined moving direction; a contacted portion provided on an inner surface of each of the pair of side walls in the housing; and a first contact portion provided to the moving body, the first contact portion being contactable with the contacted portion within the housing prior to the holding plate when the moving body reaches a contact position where it is possible to contact with the contacted portion, wherein the first contact portion is provided on a side surface of the moving body at the moving direction side, the contacted portion is a projection rib which projects from the inner surface of each side wall in a direction perpendicular to the inner surface and which is brought into contact with the first contact portion without being brought into contact with the holding plate when the moving body reaches the contact position, the moving body includes a guide hole provided at one end thereof in the longitudinal direction and a supported portion provided at a lower surface at another end thereof in the longitudinal direction, the support portion includes: a support shaft which is provided so as to extend between the pair of side walls and is inserted through the guide hole; and a support rail which is long in the moving direction and configured to support the supported portion such that the supported portion is slidable in the moving direction, the image processing device further comprises: the second contact portions are projections that are provided at a center of an edge portion at one side in a lateral direction of the moving body, at a center of an edge portion at the other side in the lateral direction of the moving body, and at both ends, in the longitudinal direction, of the edge portion at the other side, respectively, the second contact portions projecting upward from the upper surface of the moving body beyond the holding plate such that a predetermined gap is formed between the sheet placement plate and projection ends of the second contact portions.
