To reduce an operation load by simplifying operation.SOLUTION: An image reading device 2 comprises: an image reading unit 31 which reads an image by moving; and a switch member 50 which can be switched between a first position entering a moving path H of the image reading unit 31 and a second position saved from the moving path H of the image reading unit 31. The switch member 50 can be switched from the first position to the second position by contact with the image reading unit 31 when the image reading unit 31 moves.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】操作を簡便にして、操作負担を軽減する。【解決手段】画像読取装置２は、移動することにより画像を読み取る画像読取部３１と、画像読取部３１の移動経路Ｈに進入した第１の位置と、画像読取部３１の移動経路Ｈから退避した第２の位置とに、切り換えられる切換部材５０と、を備える。切換部材５０は、画像読取部３１の移動時に画像読取部３１と接触することにより第１の位置から第２の位置に切り換えられる。【選択図】図５
