Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a housing, a document sheet conveying device, a cable, a shielding member, a protrusion, and a guide member. The housing accommodates a document sheet reading device that reads a document sheet. The document sheet conveying device is coupled to an upper surface of the housing with a hinge, and conveys the document sheet along a conveyance path passing through a scanning position of the document sheet reading device. The cable electrically connects a circuit board accommodated in the housing to the document sheet conveying device. The shielding member surrounds the circuit board and includes an opening portion through which the cable passes. The protrusion is formed in the cable. The guide member has an annular groove portion in which the protrusion is displaceable in a circumferential direction of the cable, and is fitted into the opening portion.
