Abstract: A scanning apparatus comprises a light-pervious plate, an optical device, and a guiding mechanism. The light-pervious plate provides a plane for placing an object to be scanned. The optical device is disposed under the light-pervious plate for capturing the image of the object and transforms the image into the corresponding signal. The guiding mechanism further comprises a guide bar, a loading frame, and an elastic element. The guide bar is disposed in the scanning apparatus and provides a scanning path. The loading frame, including a guide slot, is assembled with the optical device. Since the guide slot coordinates the guide bar, the optical device is mounted to move along the scanning path. The elastic element, disposed within the guide slot, exerts an elastic force toward the guide bar to reduce the gap between the guide slot and the guide bar so that the optical device can get better image of the document.

Abstract: A scanning unit is configured to slide along a guide shaft that extends in a predetermined direction. The scanning unit includes a carriage configured to slide along the guide shaft, a bearing which is disposed on a carriage and through which the guide shaft passes, and an elastic deformation allowance mechanism which permits elastic deformation of the external shape of the bearing in the predetermined direction at a predetermined time. For example, a contact image sensor unit includes a box equipped with a contact image sensor. The box has a bearing through which a guide shaft is inserted. The bearing has a pair of bosses, bushings that fit therein, and a coil spring that is disposed between the bushings. The bushings are urged by the coil spring, so that the bushings continually protrude outwards. As the contact image sensor unit slides along the guide shaft, the bushings insert in between the bosses when the bushings abut the wall surface of the frame, so that the bearing is deformed elastically. An image reading device may include a scanning unit.
