Abstract: A light guide includes a plurality of boss portions. A round hole portion is provided near the center of a base member for fixing the light guide, and slit portions are provided on both ends thereof. The round hole portion supports one boss portion in both the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the light guide. The slit portions support boss portions in the lateral direction of the light guide, but are free in the longitudinal direction of the light guide. That is, the center of the light guide is fixed from both directions, and thus both ends of the light guides can expand away in the longitudinal direction. This cuts the influence of expansion by half.

Abstract translation: 导光体包括多个凸起部分。 在用于固定导光体的基底构件的中心附近设置有圆孔部，并且在其两端设置狭缝部。 圆孔部在光导的长度方向和横向方向上支撑一个凸台部。 狭缝部分在导光体的横向方向上支撑凸起部分，但是在光导的纵向上是自由的。 也就是说，导光体的中心从两个方向固定，因此导光体的两端在长度方向上可以膨胀。 这将扩大影响减半。

Abstract: A scanner module and an image scanning apparatus employ an illuminator that includes at least one light emitting diode, a light guide to change the direction of the light from the light emitting diode, and a light source holder to which the light emitting diode is mounted, the light source holder being positioned in relation to the light guide such that the light source holder covers an incidence face of the light guide, on which the light from the light source is incident, the surface of light source holder facing the incidence face reflecting light incident thereupon. The reflection of light by the light source holder reduces the possibility of leakage of light, and can enhance luminous intensity of light of the illuminator.

Abstract: Deformation of a second optical carriage (B) due to heat is large on a (C) side where an inverter (31) is attached and small on a (D) side. A mirror supporting portion inside the second optical carriage (B) supports the mirror at one point on the (C) side and at two points on the (D) side. An angle of the reflecting mirror (8) depends on two protrusions on the (D) side where thermal deformation is small, and the mirror is supported at one point on the (C) side where thermal deformation is large. Thus, even if an angle of the mirror supporting portion (C) changes, the angle of the reflecting mirror (8) is not affected. Therefore, a change in the angle of the reflecting mirror (8) can be controlled to be small when temperature of the second optical carriage (B) rises during a reading operation, and decrease in reading accuracy due to thermal deformation of the second optical carriage (B) can be suppressed.

Abstract translation: 在（C）侧安装逆变器（31）并且在（D）侧小的情况下，由于热而导致的第二光学滑架（B）的变形大。 第二光学滑架（B）内的反射镜支撑部分在（C）侧的一点和（D）侧的两点处支撑反射镜。 反射镜（8）的角度取决于热变形小的（D）侧的两个突起，并且反射镜被支撑在热变形大的（C）侧的一点处。 因此，即使反射镜支撑部（C）的角度变化，反射镜（8）的角度也不受影响。 因此，当在读取操作期间第二光学支架（B）的温度升高时，反射镜（8）的角度的变化可以被控制得较小，并且由于第二光学支架的热变形引起的读取精度的降低 （B）可以被抑制。
