Patent ID: 7733365

Claim:
A controller executing instructions to form a latent image; a print engine including a laser source, a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device, and a module for mounting said MEMS device, said print engine communicatively coupled to said controller and configured to form said latent image using said laser source and said MEMS device in response to said instructions, and said module including: a base having a first support and a second support, said second support having a support guide feature; and a bracket attached to said MEMS device, said bracket having a central axis, a first end, and a second end, said second end having a bracket guide feature, said first end being affixed to said first support of said base to form a cantilever arrangement, said support guide feature engaging said bracket guide feature to form a sliding joint having a sliding axis substantially parallel to said central axis, wherein said sliding joint is configured to restrain said second end of said bracket in a first direction substantially perpendicular to said central axis of said bracket while allowing freedom of movement of said second end of said bracket in a second direction perpendicular to said central axis, said second end of said bracket being spaced apart from said second support of said base in said second direction to thereby cantilever said bracket in said second direction.
