Abstract:
An image reading device includes a scanner housing, a pair of hinge mechanisms, and a document conveyance device. The scanner housing includes an engaged portion for positioning provided at a portion of a top surface of the scanner housing located outside of an original glass plate mounted in the top surface of the scanner housing. The document conveyance device includes an engaging portion for positioning engageable with the engaged portion when in the closed position, and is positioned in a plane along a top surface of the original glass plate by engagement of the engaging portion with the engaged portion. In positioning the document conveyance device, the document conveyance device is fixed to the pair of hinge mechanisms to allow the document conveyance device to be adjusted in position in the plane.
Abstract:
A document conveying portion is configured to convey a document sheet along a conveyance path extending sequentially through a turn-around portion at which a conveyance direction is reversed and a predetermined reading position. A reading unit is movable in a predetermined moving direction below the document conveying portion and a document table and includes a unit housing in which a light source, an optical element, and an image sensor are mounted. The reading unit is formed such that, between the turn-around portion and a first end portion of the document conveying portion which is close to the turn-around portion in the moving direction, a second end portion of the unit housing at a side of the first end portion in the moving direction is located in a state where light is applied from the light source to the reading position.
Abstract:
An image reading device includes a housing, a reading unit, a flat cable, and a support member. The reading unit is movably provided in the housing and configured to reciprocally move from a start position to an end position in a reading range. One end of the flat cable is coupled with the reading unit and a predetermined portion thereof on the other end side is fixed to the housing. The flat cable is stored in a bent state in the housing. The support member is provided in the reading unit and configured to support the flat cable and displace, in response to a movement position of the reading unit, a support point of the flat cable in an up-down direction with respect to a coupling portion coupling the one end of the flat cable with the reading unit.
Abstract:
A mirror fastener fastens a first end portion of a mirror to a first mirror support portion of a housing. A second mirror support portion includes a pair of partitioning surfaces and a concave surface. The pair of partitioning surfaces oppose an end surface of a second end portion of the mirror while an interval is provided between the pair of partitioning surfaces and the end surface. The concave surface is formed between the pair of partitioning surfaces and opposes the end surface of the second end portion while an interval larger than the interval between the pair of partitioning surfaces and the end surface is provided between the concave surface and the end surface. An adhesive bonds the end surface of the second end portion and the pair of partitioning surfaces.

Abstract:
A housing includes a first frame which includes a first accommodating portion having a bottom plate to be supported on a predetermined support surface, the first accommodating portion having an accommodating space for accommodating the image reading part, and a second accommodating portion protruding outward in a first direction from a side surface of the first accommodating portion, the second accommodating portion positioned higher than the bottom plate, the second accommodating portion having an accommodating space for accommodating the operation unit; a second frame attached to a peripheral edge portion of an opening formed on a top surface of the first accommodating portion; and an engaging mechanism installed at the side of a base end portion of the second accommodating portion and configured to bring the second accommodating portion and the second frame into engagement in a direction perpendicular to the side surface of the first accommodating portion.
Abstract:
An image processing device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a moving body, a housing, a support portion, and a first contact portion. The moving body is composed of a resin member and has a surface on which a holding plate which holds an electric component used for image processing is mounted. The housing includes a pair of side walls between which the moving body is housed therein. The support portion is provided to the housing and configured to support the moving body such that the moving body is movable in a predetermined moving direction. The first contact portion is provided to the moving body, and is configured to be contactable with a contacted portion within the housing prior to the holding plate when the moving body reaches a contact position where it is possible to contact with the contacted portion.
Abstract:
A development device includes an imaging lens and light shielding walls. The imaging lens includes a body part having a constant diameter and both end parts arranged at both ends in an optical axial direction having diameters larger than the body part to capture a reflected light from a document onto an imaging part. The light shielding walls has a space with an interval larger than the diameter of the body part and smaller than the diameters of the both end parts, allowing the body part of the imaging lens to be arranged in the space, and shielding a light in the optical axial direction.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a main body unit, an operation unit, and a support unit. The main body unit has a first side surface and a second side surface that is opposite to the first side surface. The operation unit has an operation surface. The support unit is fixed to the main body unit and supports the operation unit in a state where a position of the operation unit can be changed between a first position and a second position such that the operation surface is directed to a first side surface side when the operation unit is in the first position, and is directed to a second side surface side when the operation unit is in the second position.
Abstract:
An image reading device includes a housing, a reading unit, a flat cable, and a support member. The reading unit is movably provided in the housing and configured to reciprocally move from a start position to an end position in a reading range. One end of the flat cable is coupled with the reading unit and a predetermined portion thereof on the other end side is fixed to the housing. The flat cable is stored in a bent state in the housing. The support member is provided in the reading unit and configured to support the flat cable and displace, in response to a movement position of the reading unit, a support point of the flat cable in an up-down direction with respect to a coupling portion coupling the one end of the flat cable with the reading unit.
