Abstract
A carriage structure for use with an image scanner is disclosed. The carriage structure includes a first reflective mirror set for reflecting light from a scanned object, a lens disposed downstream of the first reflective mirror set in an optical path direction for refracting the light reflected by the first reflective mirror set, a second reflective mirror set disposed downstream of the lens in the optical path direction for further reflecting the light refracted by the lens, and a photoelectric conversion device disposed downstream of the second reflective mirror set in the optical path direction for receiving and converting the light from the second reflective mirror set into electric level signals.

A carriage structure for use with an image scanner, comprising:
- a first reflective mirror set for reflecting light from a scanned object;
- a lens disposed downstream of said first reflective mirror set in an optical path direction for refracting said light reflected by said first reflective mirror set;
- a second reflective mirror set disposed downstream of said lens in said optical path direction for further reflecting said light refracted by said lens;
- and
- a photoelectric conversion device disposed downstream of said second reflective mirror set in said optical path direction for receiving and converting said light from said second reflective mirror set into electric level signals.
A carriage structure for use with an image pickup device, comprising:
- a first light-guiding device for changing at least once the direction of light from a scanned object;
- a focusing device disposed downstream of said first light-guiding device in an optical path direction for focusing said light outputted from said first light-guiding device;
- a second light-guiding device disposed downstream of said focusing device in said optical path direction for changing at least once the direction of said light from said focusing device;
- and
- a photoelectric conversion device disposed downstream of said second light-guiding device in said optical path direction for receiving and converting said light from said second light-guiding device into electric level signals.
