Patent attributes
A light scanning apparatus according to the invention includes a reflecting mirror, a screw, an elastic member, and an optical housing. The reflecting mirror reflects the light beam deflected by deflection unit toward a object to be scanned. The screw supports a reflecting surface of the reflecting member. The elastic member is provided opposite the screw while the reflecting member is interposed therebetween, and the elastic member presses the reflecting mirror against the screw. The optical housing accommodates the reflecting mirror. The light scanning apparatus includes a planar portion having a drawing which can abut on a longitudinal surface of the reflecting mirror, and the planar portion and the longitudinal surface of the reflecting mirror are rigidly bonded by a bonding agent while the drawing receives the longitudinal surface of the reflecting mirror.
