Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image scanner for properly reading an original without enlarging an upper cover, etc. SOLUTION: A CIS 11 is supported by a grip part 41 and a support axis 31, so as to be movable in a direction toward the upper cover 19 (rib 21), and biased in the direction of the rib 21 by a compression spring 17. Accordingly, there is no necessity to make the rib 21 movable, to secure a space for the movement of the rib 21, and to arrange a mechanism for moving the rib 21 in the upper cover 19. Consequently, the upper cover 19 is prevented from being enlarged. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
An exposure device includes plural light-emitting elements, a light amount detection unit, a controller, plural holding units and a connection unit. The controller sequentially determines control values of the light-emitting elements based on comparison between the light amounts detected by the light amount detection unit and a predetermined reference value. The holding units are provided for the light-emitting elements, respectively. Each holding unit holds a control voltage of the controller. When the controller is to sequentially determine control values of a part of the plurality of light-emitting elements, the connection units connects the controller and the holding units corresponding to one or more light-emitting elements for which control values are determined earliest among the part of the plural light-emitting elements, before the controller determines the control values of the one or more light-emitting elements.

A glass frame is detachably mounted on the base plate and has an opening defined therethrough and a piece of glass mounted at the upper end of the opening. A lens retainer is detachably mounted on the glass frame and has a tubular portion with a hole in alignment with the optical sensor, a male thread formed at an outer periphery of the tubular portion; and an adjusting ring covering the tubular portion and having a female thread engaged with the male thread on the tubular portion and a lens installed therein.
Abstract:
A contact-type image sensor having an adhesive elastic layer therein includes a protective member including a light transmitting area. An illumination device is provided for illuminating an original, bearing image information thereon, through the protective member. A photosensor device is provided for reading the image information, and imaging structure is provided for focusing light reflected from the original onto the photosensor device. Support structure is provided for integrally supporting the illumination device, the photosensor device, and the imaging structure. An elastic adhesive layer is provided on a contact surface between the protective member and the support structure. The elastic adhesive layer joins the protective member and the support structure.
Abstract:
Light-shielding layers are adhered to the lower surface of a glass plate, spaced apart from each other and defining a slit having a width of L. An array of rod lenses is located below the glass plate, such that the optical axes of the lenses pass through the slit. The lower surface of the glass plate is generally covered, and exposed via the slit only. Hence, the leakage of lights reflected from points near a reading position into each photoelectric conversion element is minimized, whereby the element outputs a pixel signal faithfully representing that part of the image which is located at the reading position.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To speedily control a control value of one or more light-emitting elements whose control values are determined in an earliest stage out of a plurality of light-emitting elements which perform exposure. SOLUTION: The light-emitting elements LD0-LD15 on one side of a laser light-emitting array and the light-emitting elements LD16-LD31 on the other side are used for different photoconductor drums respectively. The light quantity control of the former is performed when the COL SEL signal is 0, and the light quantity control of the latter is performed when the COL SEL signal is 1. In the case of the light-emitting element LD1 in which the light quantity control of the latter is first performed, feedback capacitors of an operational amplifier which control the light quantity are connected with the operational amplifier ahead of lighting of the light-emitting element LD1.
