    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a light scanning device includes a housing, a light source, a polygon mirror, a polygon motor, a cooling duct, and a fastening portion. The housing is constituted by a housing main body and an upper lid. The light source is supported at one end side of the housing main body. The cooling duct is provided in the housing main body to extend from a light-source side to a side opposite from the light source. The fastening portion is constituted by first and second fastening portions disposed on the light-source side so as to sandwich the light source therebetween and a third fastening portion disposed at a position that is on the side opposite from the light source and that does not overlap the cooling duct as seen from a screw-fastening direction.

    Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes a head assembly, an installation base, a positioning member, and a regulation member. The head assembly includes a recording head that ejects ink. The head assembly is installed in the installation base. The positioning member is provided for the installation base and determines a position of the head assembly. The regulation member is provided for the installation base and regulates the position of the head assembly. The regulation member is configured to press the head assembly in a pressing direction. The positioning member protrudes in a direction that intersects with the pressing direction. The head assembly includes an insertion hole into which the positioning member is inserted. The insertion hole is larger in dimension in the pressing direction than the positioning member.

    Abstract: A toner container includes a container main body, a rotation member, a flat plate-like lid member, a rib member, and a film member. The rotation member is rotatably provided in the container main body and extends in a depth direction of the container main body. The lid member closes an opening portion of the container main body in the depth direction. The rib member is provided on an inner surface of the lid member in such a way as to be located adjacent to the rotation member with a predetermined gap from the rotation member, and positions the lid member with respect to the opening portion. The film member is attached to the housing of the container main body such that one surface of the film member contacts the rib member and an opposite surface of the film member contacts an outer circumferential surface of the rotation member.
