Abstract: A multifunctional peripheral includes a main body, an upper unit arranged on the main body, and an opening and closing mechanism connected to the upper unit and the main body. The multifunctional peripheral further includes a damping unit including an engaging member configured to move in a predetermined direction and a spring configured to resiliently urge the engaging member in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction. During sliding of a slider from the first position to the second position, the slider engages the engaging member at an engaging position on a sliding path, moves the engaging member in the predetermined direction as the slider slides toward the second position, and disengages the engaging member at a disengaging position between the engaging position and the second position such that the slider is released from receiving the force of the spring via the engaging member when in the second position.

Abstract: An optical scanning device includes an oscillating mirror portion having a reflection surface, and a frame portion holding the oscillating mirror portion. The optical scanning device reflects an incident optical flux by the reflection surface so as to convert the incident optical flux into a scanned optical flux. The optical scanning device further includes a reflection portion having a first reflection surface and a second reflection surface which are arranged in substantially V-shaped inclined surfaces. The first reflection surface reflects the incident optical flux and radiates the reflected light toward the oscillating mirror portion. The second reflection surface receives the reflected light from the oscillating mirror portion and radiates the reflected light as the scanned optical flux.
