Abstract: An optical scanning device includes first and second light sources, a rotational polygon mirror reflecting first and second luminous fluxes, and first and second lenses. The polygon mirror reflects the second luminous flux in an opposite direction to the first luminous flux and the second lens is disposed on a side opposite to the first lens as a boundary of the polygon mirror. A shielding member including a shielding wall shielding first and second optical paths from the first and second light sources toward the polygon mirror, respectively. The shielding member is rotatable about a rotating shaft and moves between a shielding position and a retracted position. As viewed in a rotational axis direction of the polygon mirror, the rotating shaft is positioned between the first and second optical paths and an axis of the rotating shaft extends in a direction crossing to an optical axis of the first lens.

Abstract: A scanning optical device includes a deflector, a reflecting mirror, a housing to accommodate the deflector and the mirror; and an elastic member to urge the mirror toward the housing. The mirror includes a first surface urged by the elastic member, a second surface opposite to the first surface, a third surface and a fourth surface perpendicular to the first and second surfaces. The housing includes a bearing surface to support the second surface and a regulating portion to regulate movement of the mirror to a mirror widthwise direction, perpendicular to a mirror longitudinal direction and parallel with the second surface, and toward an opening of the housing. The regulating portion is provided opposite to only a part of the third surface so that a ridge line of the mirror between the second surface and the third surface does not contact the regulating member even an attitude of the mirror changes in a direction away from the bearing surface.
