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 4):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the switching unit is supported rotatably about another pivot different from the pivot about which the first transporting roller rotates, and wherein the drive unit includes:\n a first gear which transmits the rotation to the switching unit; \n a second gear to which the rotation is transmitted from the first transporting roller; and \n a mechanism configured to draw the second gear apart from the first gear when the first transporting roller rotates in the second direction so that the second gear does not engage with the first gear and configured to allow the second gear to approach the first gear when the first transporting roller rotates in the first direction so that the second gear engages with the first gear.
