Abstract:
A document reading apparatus includes a sensor configured to receive light from a document, an imaging lens configured to form an image of light from the document on the sensor, a first holding member to which the imaging lens is fixed, and a second holding member to which the sensor is fixed, wherein the first holding member and the second holding member are fixed using an adhesive and solder.
Abstract:
A multi-beam luminous source apparatus, an optical scanning apparatus, and an image formation apparatus are provided. The multi-beam luminous source includes a first member for supporting a coupling lens and a second member for supporting a control substrate that supports a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL). The first member and the second member are joined with a screw at a reference plane that perpendicularly intersects an optical axis of the coupling lens. The second member includes a base member that supports the control substrate and a base member that includes a branch mirror, a convergent lens, and an optical detection sensor.

Abstract:
A mounting device capable of mounting two objects of different sizes is disclosed. The mounting device includes a mounting member including a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, a mounting portion, a securing piece between the first end and the second end, and an installing plate including a first installing portion and a second installing portion. The mounting member is secured to the first installing portion and the second installing portion. When the mounting portion and the securing piece are engaged with the first installing portion, the first end is adapted to abut a first object. When the mounting portion and the installing portion are engaged with the second installing portion, the second end is adapted to abut a second object of a different size from a size of the first object.
Abstract:
A mounting structure for an inverter circuit board for a light source lamp of an image reader in which mounting means for mounting the inverter circuit board for a light source lamp of an image reader onto a carriage is located to be operated from the direction in which the carriage moves in one embodiment. The inverter circuit and heat dissipation plate are removably mounted to an end of the full rate carriage. In another embodiment, the circuit board is mounted to the top for access from above the carriage.
Abstract:
Scanners and scanner housings are disclosed. An example scanner includes a housing to carry an optical element, the housing having a first support feature, and a printed circuit board having a second support feature to mate with the first support feature of the housing, the printed circuit board to provide vertical support to the housing when the first and second support features are mated.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a drive unit that is mounted on a carriage having an image reading sensor, which is moved with respect to an original, mounted thereon and moves the carriage. The drive unit includes: a motor; a gear train for transmitting rotation of the motor so as to move the carriage; an encoder sensor for reading a code wheel fixed to a rotary shaft of the motor; and a support member for holding the motor. The encoder sensor is urged against a part of the support member by a resilient member, to be thus fixed to the support member.
