Abstract: A scanning device includes a housing, a transparent plate, an image acquiring module, a light source module and an elastic member. The transparent plate for supporting an original is mounted on an opening of the housing. The image acquiring module for acquiring an image of the original is movable in a first direction in the housing. The light source module for emitting light to illuminate the original is movable in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction on the image acquiring module. The elastic member for pushing the light source module towards the transparent plate connects the light source module to the image acquiring module. When the transparent plate is not pressed, a distance between the transparent plate and the light source module is kept such that the transparent plate contacts the light source module without losing its degree of freedom when the transparent plate is pressed.

Abstract: A document scanner carriage (20) housing contains a pair of spaced mirrors (34,36) whose spacing and parallelism is precisely maintained by floating metal spacer plates (60,62) which are not affixed to the housing. Spaced springs (35) urge one of the mirrors (34,36) into engagement with the spacer plates (60,62), the other mirror(34,36) being referenced to the molded plastic housing (50). The parallel facing image plane sides of the mirrors (34,36) are substantially unobstructed by the spacer plates (60,62) which contact them thus allowing the scanner (10) to efficiently use a substantial proportion of the image planes of the mirrors (34,36) and occupy a comparatively small footprint. The floating spacer plates (60,62) and mirrors (34,36) are cushioned against shock and vibration by compressed elastomeric pads (80,81,82,83) on the underside of the housing cover (30) which allows the spacing and parallelism of the mirrors (34,36) to be maintained without direct affixation of the mirrors (34,36) or spacer plates (60,62) to the housing (50).

Abstract translation: 文件扫描器支架（20）壳体包含一对间隔开的反射镜（34,36），其间隔和平行度通过浮动金属间隔板（60,62）精确地保持，所述金属间隔板未固定到壳体。 间隔弹簧（35）促使一个反射镜（34,36）与间隔板（60,62）接合，另一个反射镜（34,36）以模制的塑料壳体（50）为基准。 反射镜（34,36）的平行面对的图像平面侧基本上被间隔板（60,62）阻挡，从而允许扫描器（10）有效地使用反射镜的大部分图像平面（60,62） 34,36），占地面积相对较小。 浮动间隔板（60,62）和反射镜（34,36）通过在壳体盖（30）的下侧上的压缩的弹性垫（80,81,82,83）抵抗冲击和振动，其允许间隔和 要保持反射镜（34,36）的平行度，而不会将反射镜（34,36）或间隔板（60,62）直接固定到壳体（50）。

Abstract: A scanning head comprises a support member (2) for supporting the head in pressing contact with a platen (26). The support member has lower strength portions (A) spaced longitudinally of the head, and higher strength portions (B) alternate with the lower strength portions. The support member is easily bendable at the lower strength portions, and the higher strength portions are urged by springs (27) toward the platen. Thus, the head can come into intimate pressing contact with the platen even if the surface flatness of the support member as a whole is not strictly realized.
