IMAGE READER AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2000/026722
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An image reader and an image forming device, constructed in a simple arrangement to prevent floating of a document, even if a thin one, by imparting a sufficient pressing force thereto, to improve the operability and durability of a document pressing plate (14), and to make it possible to reduce the weight and thickness of a document holder, including a flexible locking member (147) that, when a first pressure plate (141) and a second pressure plate (142) are folded in the middle, softly supports the two pressure plates (141, 142), thereby elastically lock the two pressure plates (141, 142) together at an angle in a suitable range, thus mitigating the impact force exerted upon locking of the two pressure plates (141, 142).
