Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a reading unit configured to read an image of a medium fed through a first feed path, a switching unit that isolates a third feed path from a junction so as to guide the medium from a second feed path to the first feed path when being disposed at a first position and that guides the medium from the first feed path to the third feed path when being disposed at the second position, and a drive unit that moves the switching unit to the second position when the medium is fed from the first feed path to the third feed path, wherein the drive unit moves the switching unit to the first position after a lapse of predetermined time from a beginning of feeding the medium from the third feed path toward the first feed path.

Claim (Index 3):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the switching unit is rotatably supported, sharing a pivot with the first transporting roller, and wherein the drive unit includes:\n a first contact portion to which the rotation of the first transporting roller is transmitted; and \n a second contact portion which transmits the rotation to the switching unit, \n wherein the rotation of the first transporting roller is transmitted to the switching unit when the first contact portion comes into contact with the second contact portion, and wherein the drive unit is formed with a clearance between the first contact portion and the second contact portion so that the first contact portion comes into contact with the second contact portion after a lapse of predetermined time from when the first transporting roller starts rotating in the first direction.
