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.
Abstract:
An LED module is mounted on a case frame by fitting three pins formed at a concave portion of the case frame, into holes in the LED module corresponding to the pins. A light-guide plate is fitted into the case frame formed integrally with a bottom cover in a descending direction. The light-guide plate is fixed by a hook provided for the case frame. A space between the light-guide plate and the LED module is prevented by pressing the light-guide plate to the LED module with a pressing spring. Since the light-guide plate is fitted into the case frame in the descending direction and a light scattering sheet is adhered to an outer end surface of the case frame in the descending direction, it is not necessary to reverse the worked product and so the number and time of working processes can be saved.

Abstract:
An integrated image module for a document scanner includes a one piece die cast housing having a datum element and a support element. An imaging sensor array is enclosed in the housing. An array bias element urges the imaging sensor array against the datum element to provide accurate placement of the sensor array relative to the housing. A transport mechanism is attached to the housing so that the position of the transport mechanism accurately corresponds to the position of the imaging sensor array. The lens and the lamp for illumination are also attached to the housing so that the primary components of the imaging portion of the scanner are contained in a single module.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An image forming optical device, an image forming optical element, and an image reading device are provided to obtain a lens array in low costs because a reflective film is not necessary. CONSTITUTION: An image forming optical device comprises an incident part(51), a projecting part(53), and a bending part. The incident part comprises a first lens surface(S1). Beams irradiated from an object are incident to the first lens surface. The projecting part comprises a second lens surface(S3). The second lens surface projects beams. The bending part connects the incident part and projecting part by forming an angle.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A comfortable image scanner is provided to hardly hide visibility of a user, make the user feel no highhandedness, and conveniently realize interaction between a customer and the user by interposing manuscripts to be read. CONSTITUTION: The image scanner(2) includes a support(8) of an 'L' shape. The support is placed on a horizontal work surface(12) such as a desk and supports the image scanner. The manuscripts are placed to a position supported by two arms(6) of the supporter. When the arm is put on the support in parallel to a lengthwise axis(56) and two users use the scanner by seeing the manuscripts from a lengthwise direction, the arm is placed to the position apart from a line connecting between two users.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compatibly achieve accurate reading of an image and miniaturization and thinning of an image reading apparatus in a high dimensional manner.SOLUTION: The image reading apparatus comprises: a carriage 3 mounted with an image reading sensor 2 thereon to cross in an extending direction of the image reading sensor 2 and to move in a scanning direction parallel to an original platen 1; and a drive unit including a DC motor 7 for scanning the carriage 3, idle gears 8 and 9 and a pinion gear 10 for transmitting driving force from the DC motor 7, an electric substrate 19 for supplying electric power to the DC motor 7, an encoder 15 mounted on the electric substrate 19 to detect rotation of the DC motor 7 and a connector 20 for receiving electric power to be supplied to the DC motor 7. The drive unit is intensively arranged in one direction of the scanning direction in relation to the image reading sensor 2 on the carriage 3 when viewed from a direction perpendicular to a surface of the original platen 1.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image reading device and an image forming device, capable of improving a mechanical strength without increasing a weight of a holding body compared with a holding body of an optical member which is provided so that light reflected at an original document existing on a reading position does not penetrate into a light path reaching a light-receiving element. SOLUTION: The image reading device 1 includes an LED 141 for irradiating the original document and a CCD 161 for receiving the light reflected at the original document, wherein a penetrating unit 153c for supporting two mirrors 151, 152 is provided at a frame 153 so as to interrupt a portion of unused area 43 which does not contribute to imaging among light paths 40 which are formed by facing the first and second mirrors 151, 152 in a second carriage 15 for guiding the reflected light from the original document into the CCD 161 by the first and second mirrors 151, 152.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical scanner having a configuration capable of stably retaining an attitude while suppressing rotational oscillation of a mirror generated by oscillation when driving the scanner, without bonding the mirror thereto.SOLUTION: The optical scanner includes: reflective members 106, 108, and 109 each for reflecting light beam towards a scanning object body, the light beam being deflected by deflection means 104 for deflecting and scanning the light beam exited from a light source; a contact member 200 for coming into contact with the rear plane side of a reflective plane for positioning the reflective plane of the reflective member 106, 108, and 109 or the rear plane of the reflective plane; and an optical box for storing the reflective members. The optical scanner uses a plane pressing portion 201A that presses the reflective plane of the reflective member or the rear plane side of the reflective plane, and further uses pressing members 201 and 202 provided with a ridge pressing portion 202A that presses a ridge between the lateral plane orthogonal to the reflective plane and the reflective plane, or a ridge L1 between the lateral planes orthogonal to the reflective plane.
