ABSTRACT:
This invention has as its object to prevent a flexible flat cable which connects a control board and an image reading unit from contacting a document table glass. An image reading apparatus has an image reading unit for reading a document placed on a document table glass, a drive unit for scanning the image reading unit relative to the document, and a flexible flat cable for electrically connecting an electric circuit fixed in the main body of the image reading apparatus, and the image reading unit which moves relative to the main body. That portion of the flexible flat cable, which includes a portion that is movable upon scanning of the image reading unit is folded into at least two, and stands nearly perpendicularly to the document table glass.
