Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes an illumination unit that illuminates light on an image surface of a sheet, and a photoelectric conversion element that converts reflected light from the sheet illuminated by the illumination unit into an electric signal. The illumination unit includes a circuit board including a light emitting element, and a light guide that guides light, emitted from the light emitting element, to a sheet read surface. In the image reading apparatus, the light guide includes a positioning surface that abuts against a first surface of the circuit board and that performs positioning of the light guide and the circuit board, and a pressing portion that abuts against a second surface of the circuit board on an opposite side of the first surface and that presses the circuit board against the positioning surface.

Claim (Index 2):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the light guide includes a longitudinal-direction positioning portion which performs positioning of the light guide and the circuit board in a longitudinal-direction at a substantially center portion of the light guide.
