Abstract: A line light irradiation device includes a plurality of light source units on which a plurality of light source mounting substrates are juxtaposed on a base in a row, and the plurality of light source units are juxtaposed in a row. The plurality of light source mounting substrates are positioned and fixed to the base at predetermined intervals. Thus, if a light source in a certain light source unit becomes defective, this light source unit can be removed so as to exchange only the light source mounting substrate on which the defective light source is mounted. Therefore, the normal light sources can be left as they are as much as possible, and waste of the light sources can be reduced. Further, the light source mounting substrates are positioned and fixed at predetermined intervals, and thus dimensional errors do not accumulate in the light source mounting substrates at the juxtaposition ends.

Abstract: A ball bearing includes an outer ring; an inner ring; a plurality of balls; and a cage that has an annular shape. Oil flows into an area between the outer ring and the inner ring from one side in an axial direction and flows out from the other side in the axial direction.

The cage is disposed such that the axial position of a tip of the corner substantially coincides with the axial position of a large end face of an outer ring. Thus, a cylindrical space formed between an inner periphery cylindrical face of the outer ring and an outer periphery cylindrical face of the cage is filled with an oil low pressure region. As a result, the inflow of the oil into a bearing is restricted.
