Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes: an optical unit movably provided to a device main body; a flexible flat cable connected to the optical unit and to the device main body through a curved portion; a first friction surface on which the flexible flat cable abuts on an opposing surface of the device main body opposing the optical unit; and a second friction surface having a frictional force smaller than that of the first friction surface on which the flexible flat cable abuts on the opposing surface, wherein when the optical unit is positioned at an end portion on one side in a moving direction, the flexible flat cable abuts on the first friction surface, and the flexible flat cable further abuts on the second friction surface on a side where the curved portion is formed outside of the first friction surface in the moving direction of the optical unit.

Claim (Index 8):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n on the first friction surface, treatment to make surface roughness larger than that of the second friction surface is performed to the opposing surface.
