Image reading apparatus
First Claim
1. An image reading apparatus comprising:
- a main body;
a rotation unit supported by the main body and configured to be rotatable on a rotation axis;
an imaging unit mounted on the rotation unit at an outward position in a radial direction of the rotation axis and configured to image a medium to be read while being rotated together with the rotation unit; and
a light source configured to irradiate the medium with light, whereinthe rotation unit is configured to position the imaging unit on the side of the medium relative to the rotation axis.

Abstract
An image reading apparatus includes a main body, a rotation unit supported on the main body so as to be rotatable around a rotation axis, an imaging unit that is mounted on the rotation unit at an outward position in a radial direction of the rotation axis and images a medium to be read that is placed on a placement surface located under the rotation unit in the vertical direction, and a light source that irradiates the medium to be read with light. The light source and the imaging unit can be arranged with a relative positional relationship capable of suppressing specular reflected light of light that is emitted from the light source and reflected by the medium to be read from being incident on the imaging unit.

13. An image reading apparatus comprising:
-
a main body; a rotation unit supported by the main body and configured to be rotatable around a rotation axis, the rotation unit extending from the rotation axis in a first direction; an imaging unit mounted on the rotation unit at an outward position in the first direction and configured to image a medium while being rotated together with the rotation unit, an direction of an optical axis of the imaging unit being non-parallel with the first direction; and a light source configured to irradiate the medium with light. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
