Abstract:
An image sensor unit includes: a light condenser that collects light from the reading target object; an image sensor that receives the collected light collected and converts it into an electric signal; a housing having an elongated shape housing the light condenser and image sensor; and an elongated rigid member provided on a side surface elongated in an elongated direction of the housing. The housing has a multiple positions for fixation on the side surface. The rigid member is fixed to the side surface of the housing at at least two positions. A warping amount adjusting part is provided between the positions at which the rigid member is fixed. The warping amount adjusting part is capable of holding warping amount in the direction of the optical axis of the light condenser of the housing by intervention of a warping amount adjusting member between the rigid member and the housing.
