PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce an operation sound due to a tremor of a lid member covering an optical box in a scanning optical device including the optical box.SOLUTION: An optical scanning device has: an optical box 13 that houses a light source unit, a rotary polygon mirror implementing a rotation drive to thereby deflect laser light to be irradiated from the light source unit, and a motor causing the rotary polygon mirror to be rotated and driven, and is anchored to a device body of an image formation device; and a lid member 12 that covers the optical box 13. In the optical scanning device 2 in which the lid member 12 is supported by a protrusion 133 provided in the optical box 13, the protrusion 133 is provided in the vicinity of a fixed part to be anchored to a device body 1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 |
