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 4):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the light guide includes a second surface and a third surface, wherein the second surface faces a surface of the circuit board on which the light emitting elements are mounted, and wherein the third surface faces an opposite surface that is opposite of the surface of the circuit board on which the light emitting elements are mounted.
