MOUNTING STRUCTURE OF OPTICAL COMPONENT, IMAGE READING APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mounting structure of an optical component, capable of easily mounting and certainly holding the optical component, an image reading apparatus having the same, and an image forming apparatus having the same.

SOLUTION: A mounting structure of an optical component includes an elastic plate 81 that presses a light guide member 75 as the optical component to a plane portion 71a of a base plate 71 and an attachment part 71b that is provided on the base plate 71 and to which the elastic plate 81 is attached. The elastic plate 81 has first and second pressure units 81a and 81b each formed in a tongue piece shape and elastically contacting with the light guide member 75, clip units 81c and 81d that support one end of the first and second pressure units 81a and 81b and elastically sandwich the attachment part 71b of the base plate 71, and positioning holes 81f and 81g that are formed in the clip portion 81c and engage with a pair of positioning projections 71d arranged at the attachment part 71b of the base plate 71.
