PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image reading device which cancels out a backing effect, fluctuation characteristics, due to a change in a distance between a white reference plate and a paper sheet caused by conveyance fluttering of the paper sheet at a reading position by changing light distribution characteristics by means of movement of an illuminating device, and further to provide a paper sheet processing device.SOLUTION: A backing effect, fluctuation characteristic, in which reflection brightness is reduced in response to a floating amount h of a paper sheet by the backing effect due to a change in a distance between a white reference plate W and the paper sheet caused by conveyance fluttering of the paper sheet at a reading position A is formed. On the other hand, light distribution characteristics of an illuminating device 2 in a height direction at the reading position A can be set by moving an irradiation angle movement mechanism, an X direction movement mechanism and a Y direction movement mechanism on the basis of a movement amount of an arrangement position of the illuminating device 2 obtained from an illumination movement distance table on the basis of a type of the paper sheet or thickness information. The backing effect, fluctuation characteristic, in which the reflection brightness is reduced is cancelled out by movement of the illuminating device 2.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image sensor unit preventing occurrence of leakage light and preventing a scratch, a wear and the like, which occur in a light guide, and to provide an image reader.SOLUTION: A convex locking claw 17 is installed at an end of a first light incident surface 100 side in the light guide 11, and a concave locking section 18 locked to the locking claw 17 of the light guide 11 is disposed in a frame 15. A light shielding member 16 is slidably and loosely inserted into a position covering an end of a second light incident surface 101 side in a longitudinal direction of the light guide 11. Even if contraction due to fluctuation such as an atmospheric temperature and/or an atmospheric humidity occurs in the longitudinal direction of the light guide 11, a design dimension of a first gap A between the first light incident surface 100 and a first light source 9 and a second gap B between the second light incident surface 101 and a second light source 10 can be maintained. Thus, the occurrence of the leakage light can be prevented.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a scanning optical apparatus which effectively prevents the spot of a luminous flux from becoming out of shape due to the shift of the optical line height of the luminous flux which is made incident on an imaging optical system occurring when a deflection face and a face to be scanned are put into a conjugated relationship over the whole region of scanning range and which forms an excellent image as a result. SOLUTION: The scanning optical apparatus includes: a light source means 1; a rotary polygon mirror 5 having a plurality of deflection faces which deflect the luminous flux emitted from the light source means; an incident optical system LA which images the luminous flux emitted from the light source means as a long line image extending in a main scanning direction on the deflection faces of the rotary polygon mirror; and an imaging optical system which images the luminous flux scanned and deflected on the rotary polygon mirror onto a face to be scanned, puts the deflection faces of the rotary polygon mirror and the face to be scanned into the conjugate relationship in a subscanning cross section and has one or more imaging lenses 61, 62, wherein at least one imaging lenses of the imaging optical system has an aspherical face in the subscanning cross section and is movably held by a holding member.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image reading apparatus in which the optical adjustment of mirrors is facilitated when supporting carriages, on which the mirrors are mounted, on right and left rail surfaces movably along a platen. SOLUTION: The image reading apparatus is configured to guide reflection light from a document to an image reading means 11 through first and second carriages 3 and 4 moving at a predetermined speed along a document image on a platen. The first carriage 3 supports a mirror at three points such that a one-side end of a mirror is supported by first and second mirror supporting parts 32a and 32b and an other-side end is supported by a third mirror supporting part 32c. Both-side ends of the first carriage are then supported to be slidable on a pair of right and left rail members 5a and 5b through slide members 33a-33d disposed at two positions on forward and backward sides, respectively, at four positions on right and left sides. At least one of the slide members 33c and 33d at two positions on the forward and backward sides disposed at a side of the third mirror supporting part supporting the first mirror at one point is supported by an adjustment screw or the like so as to adjust its position in height.
