Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light irradiation device that allows a substrate to be positioned on an attached member, and also, prevents non-uniform luminance distribution in a main scanning direction on an original surface, and to provide an image reading apparatus and an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: Three positioning pins 404 (protrusions) as a part to be positioned, integrally formed (molded) with a light guide plate 403 are inserted into three pin holes 404a and 404b as a light guide body positioning part, penetrating through a receiving base 405. The three positioning pins 404 are formed at three positions (center and both ends in a longitudinal direction) on the bottom surface of the light guide plate 403. Each of the positioning pins 404 is arranged between light emission centers of LEDs 192 so as not to face each of the LEDs 192. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light irradiation apparatus capable of uniforming illuminance distribution on a light irradiation area while using full reflection of a light guide member by narrowly attaching the light guide member, to provide an image reading apparatus, and to provide an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: A first carriage of an image reading section includes: an LED substrate 51 having a plurality of LEDs 43 linearly arranged in a main scanning direction; a light guide plate 403 opposing the light emitting surface of the LEDs 43 and guiding light emitted from the LEDs 43 to a light irradiation area of a light irradiation object; a receiving pedestal 405 for holding the LED substrate 51; a cover 406 for covering the LED substrate 51 and the light guide plate 403; and a positioning means such as a positioning pin 404 for positioning the light guide plate 403 on the receiving pedestal 405. The light guide plate 403 positioned by the positioning means is clamped by the cover 406 and the receiving pedestal 405. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image reader which can secure superior focusing by suppressing the deformations of the focusing mirror, having an off-axial reflecting surface as an image focusing element and being attained of small size. SOLUTION: This reader reads image information by making a scanning unit mounting an optical system composed of a light source, an imaging mirror 201, and a mirror holder 207 move. The reader is positioned and fixed to the mirror holder 207 at the fixing sections 203, provided at both ends of the reflecting surface of the imaging mirror 201. The fixing sections 203 of the imaging mirror 201 have strength or rigidity formed smaller than those of the reflecting surface section. Thus, deformation is absorbed by fixing sections 203 of both ends that is smaller in strength and rigidity than those of the reflecting surface, when fixing the imaging mirror 201 to the mirror holder 207. Since the imaging mirror 201 is positioned on the mirror holder 207 without deformation of the reflecting surface the degradation of imaging performance due to deformation of the reflecting surface can be prevented.
