Abstract: An original reading unit is provided that is superior in the performance of the adjustment of line sensors.
According to the present invention, between a unit base and a transparent original support plate, multiple sensor assemblies are arranged, to form a zigzag pattern, as a first array for reading an original and a second array for reading the original following the first array. Each of the sensor assemblies includes a sensor holder, a line sensor and a focus setup unit. Each of the sensor holders, which serve as fulcrums, are rotatable at a single pivot (a rotation center), along the wall of a unit base that is parallel to the original support plate. When the sensor holders are rotated and positioned at predetermined locations, they are fixed to the wall. The line sensors 51 are held, relative to the sensor holders, in the main scanning direction and in the sub-scanning direction, and are moved in an approaching or separating direction in which the line sensors approach or are separated from the wall and the original support plate. The focus setup units, each of which includes coil springs and spacers, move the line sensors 51 in the approaching or separating direction, and position the line sensors 51 at locations whereat focuses are adjusted.

Abstract: In a lens focusing and holding arrangement for an imaging system (60) including a photosensor array (510), the lens (570) is in contact with a reference surface or surfaces (274, 276) formed within the imaging system housing (200) and is translatable along the surface (274, 276) in directions toward and away from the photosensor array (510) in order to adjust the focus of the imaging system (60). A lens retention clip (600) is provided to secure the lens (570) within the imaging system housing (200) and to cause translational movement of the lens (570) along the imaging system reference surface (274, 276). When focusing the imaging system (60), the lens retention clip (600) is in a first operating condition in which the lens retention clip (600) applies a relatively small force tending to hold the lens (570) in contact with the housing reference surface (274, 276). After the desired focus has been set, the lens retention clip (600) is placed in a second operating condition in which the lens retention clip (600) applies a relatively high force tending to hold the lens (570) in contact with the housing reference surface (274, 276), thus locking the lens (570) in place.

Abstract: A positioning mechanism for reflectors in a scanner is capable of tool-less assembling and precise positioning. The mechanism mainly includes a carrier, some angular positioning members, and resilient arms. The carrier is a plate-like member for mounting an optical assembly. The angular positioning members are mounted on the carrier and formed with cutoffs of supporting surfaces. The resilient arms extend from the carrier to outer sides of the supporting surfaces of the angular positioning members. The clearance of the end of resilient arm to the supporting surface is less than the thickness of the reflector to position the reflector simply, easily and precisely.
