Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical element mounting method for accurately detecting the incident/exiting position of light in an optical waveguide device inexpensively and to provide an optical element mounting device. SOLUTION: Ultraviolet light is illuminated onto the optical waveguide device 20 on a stage 42 by driving an ultraviolet illumination part 46. The illuminated ultraviolet light is scattered or excited within a first waveguide core 30 and exhibits fluorescence and exits from an incident end face 31B of the first waveguide core 30. Thus, the exiting light can be detected as a portion having higher luminance (brighter portion) than the other portions in an image and the position of the incident end face 31B is easily detected.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an image reading apparatus and includes: scanning unit including a light source; a focusing mirror which reflects light from the light source on a reflecting surface portion; and a mirror holder which fixes the focusing mirror on fixing portions formed at both ends of the mirror holder, wherein, when the scanning unit is moved to read image information, the focusing mirror is formed such that the fixing portion is smaller than the reflecting surface portion in at least one of strength and rigidity.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a positional change from occurring when an imaging lens and an image sensor are fixed with an adhesive, after being adjusted positionally, in an image reading apparatus.SOLUTION: Concave portions 143a, 143b, 144a and 144b for adhesive filling are provided, which fill an adhesive in position setting members S1 to S4 for setting a positional relation between a first retaining member that retains a lens unit and a second retaining member that retains a sensor unit.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optical module in which both the thickness of the entire module and the length in the optical axis direction of an optical lens are shortened, and to obtain an image reader incorporating the optical module and an assembling method of the optical module. SOLUTION: A reflective mirror group 14 is arranged inside a specified space area positioned on the incidence side of an optical lens 13. A first reflective mirror 14a is arranged so that an optical path reaching the first reflective mirror 14a, for making the reflected light of an original incident first, crosses the optical axis of the optical lens 13. An optical path, through which reflected light from the first reflective mirror 14a reaches a second reflective mirror 14b, is configured to cross the optical axis of the optical lens 13.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical reading head of a scanning device in which a distance between a scanning object and a lens can be appropriately regulated and thereby an optical path tilt can be minimized. SOLUTION: The optical reading head of the scanning device includes a housing, two movable mirror fasteners and two supporting plates. The housing includes a luminous source, a mirror set, the lens and an image sensor. The two movable mirror fasteners can regulate a given position of a reflection mirror by fixing both edges of a given reflection mirror in the mirror set. The two supporting plates protrude from both of opposed sides of the housing to support the two movable mirror fasteners. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:

Abstract:
In an image reader, an optical scanning unit reads an original image on an original document sheet. In the optical scanning unit, a lighting device is detachably attached to a housing to emit light toward the original document sheet. The housing houses a reading device to read the light reflected by the original document sheet. A shield member is detachably attached to the housing to shield the reading device from the lighting device to form a space for the reading device inside the housing. A slit is provided in the shield member to guide the light reflected by the original document sheet to the space for the reading device. A second positioner is provided on the shield member to engage a first positioner provided in the housing to position the reading device with respect to the lighting device.
