OPTICAL COMPONENT FIXING MECHANISM, OPTICAL SCANNER AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical component fixing mechanism capable of accurately supporting an optical component while keeping uniform pressurizing force when the optical component is fixed so as to be able to control an angle. SOLUTION: An adjusting screw 307, a first projected part 308 and an elastic members such as a leaf spring 300 are attached on both sides of an optical component such as a mirror MI. The first projected part 308 serves as a supporting point for varying the setting angle with the screw 307. The leaf spring 300 has: a screw-side pressurizing part which pressurizes the part closer to the adjusting screw of the end side face (face III) of the mirror MI; and a projected-side pressurizing part which pressurizes the part closer to the first projected part 308 of the face III. Further, the projected-side pressurizing part is so designed that the pressurizing force is varied linked with the variation of the setting angle of the optical component with the screw.
