Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reading device that can smoothly incline a reading element while moving the reading element between a first transparent member and an inclined second transparent member with less impact and friction, is inexpensive, and does not easily fail, and an image forming apparatus.SOLUTION: A holding member 43 holding a flat bed contact glass 41 and a DF contact glass 42 provided in an inclined state includes a frame-like surface part 43d that projects toward an integrated optical scanning unit 47 with respect to a surface of the flat bed contact glass 41 on the integrated optical scanning unit 47 and has a portion close to the flat bed contact glass 41 smoothly connected to a plane part 43c. The integrated optical scanning unit 47 moves in close adhesion to the flat bed contact glass 41 and moves in close adhesion with the holding member 43 with a gap with the DF contact glass 42.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11 【課題】第1の透明部材と、傾斜した第2の透明部材との間で読取素子を衝撃および摩耗が少ない状態で移動させつつ円滑に傾斜させることができ、安価でかつ故障の少ない読取装置および画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】フラットベッドコンタクトガラス41と、傾斜した状態に設けられるDFコンタクトガラス42を保持する保持部材43は、フラットベッドコンタクトガラス41の一体型光学走査ユニット47側の面よりも一体型光学走査ユニット47側に張り出していて、フラットベッドコンタクトガラス41寄りの部分が平面部43cに対し滑らかに連接されている枠状面部43dを有し、一体型光学走査ユニット47は、フラットベッドコンタクトガラス41に密着して移動し、保持部材43に密着しかつDFコンタクトガラス42に対してギャップを有して移動する。【選択図】図11
