Abstract:
An optical scanning device has a housing in which a duct surrounds a space from the deflector and its circumference to an outlet in insulation from the optical system, and guides gas from an inlet to the space. A positioning member is shaped as a pillar that protrudes from the floor of the duct towards the deflector and has a tip to contact with the deflector to locate the rotation axis of the polygon mirror at a position relative to the housing. The positioning member further limits a clearance between an outer surface of the deflector and the floor to secure therein a flow path of the gas.

Claim (Index 6):
The optical scanning device according to  claim 5 , wherein the notch is located upstream of the outer circumferential surface of the positioning member in the duct, and another axial notch is located downstream of the outer circumferential surface.
