ABSTRACT:
An installation structure is provided for an optical component, such as a collimator unit with a control circuit board, into an optical device, such as a laser scanning device. A L-shaped regulating plate is secured to the collimator unit. The collimator unit is separated into an inside part and an outside part by a vertical wall plate portion of the L-shaped regulating plate. The vertical wall plate portion is abutted to the inner surface of the wall portion of a housing of the laser scanning device while a horizontal plate portion of the L-shaped regulating plate is seated on a flat bottom surface of a receiving recess formed on a bottom plate of the housing. A cut-out portion is provided on the wall portion of the housing, through which the outside part of the collimator unit protrudes out of the housing. The control circuit board is secured to the protruding outside part of the collimator unit. Clearance between the cut-out portion and the outer periphery of the outside part of the collimator unit is closed by a rear surface of the vertical wall plate portion of the L-shaped regulating plate.
