Abstract:
A first mirror and a second mirror are disposed on a mounting surface of a housing in an exposure device of an image forming apparatus. A back surface of the first mirror is supported by ribs and the first mirror is pressed against the ribs by elastically pressing a reflecting surface thereof by a spring member. A reflecting surface of the second mirror is supported by ribs and the second mirror is pressed against the ribs by elastically pressing a back surface thereof by a spring member.

Claim (Index 7):
An optical scanner, comprising:\n a housing that is formed of thermoplastic resin and has a mounting surface; a first mirror that is mounted on the mounting surface and has a first reflecting surface which reflects a light beam and a first back surface which is opposite to the first reflecting surface; a second mirror that is mounted on the mounting surface and has a second reflecting surface which reflects the light beam reflected by the first reflecting surface and a second back surface which is opposite to the second reflecting surface; a first supporting member that is, on the mounting surface, integrally formed with the mounting surface and that supports the first mirror on the mounting surface by supporting a part of the first reflecting surface; a second supporting member that is, on the mounting surface, integrally formed with the mounting surface and that supports the second mirror on the mounting surface by supporting a part of the second back surface of the second mirror; a first elastic member that elastically presses the first back surface to press the first mirror against the first supporting member; and a second elastic member that elastically presses the second reflecting surface to press the second mirror against the second supporting member.
