Abstract: An optical conduction unit (U) has a configuration in which one portion (Sb) and another portion (58a) of an optical conduction body (5) are mated in mutually orthogonal x, y directions with first and second fitting means (64), (64a) of the first member (60A) of a reflector (6). A portion (65b) and another portion (65c) of the second member (60B) of the reflector (6) are mated in the x, y directions with the third and fourth fitting means (64b), (64c) of the first member (60A).

Abstract: A line-illuminating device is provided in an image-scanning device such that the end of a transparent light guide is not disengaged from a casing and uniformity of the light amount can be achieved. A rib is formed unitarily with a resin mold which constructs a light source unit so as to cover an end of a light-emitting plane of the transparent light guide. The end of the light guide can be prevented from being disengaged from the casing by the rib. Another rib is formed unitarily with the end of the casing on the opposite side of the light source unit. This rib covers an opposite end of the light-emitting plane of the transparent light guide, and prevents the opposite end of the light guide from being disengaged from the casing.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus capable of switching between and reading a reflective original and a transparent original is adapted to consume less power and is reduced in size. The evolution of heat by a light source can be suppressed and power consumption reduced by using a solid-state light source such as an LED as light sources for illuminating both reflective and transparent originals. In addition, owing to use of LEDs and sharing of a timing drive circuit, the apparatus per se can be reduced in size.
