Abstract
A vibrating device includes a dust-screening member and a vibrating member. The dust-screening member is disposed in front of an image surface of an image forming element having the image surface in which an optical image is generated. The dust-screening member has a box shape with about the same small plate thickness as a whole, and includes, in a bottom surface portion of the box shape, a transparent part which spreads from the center of the bottom surface portion. The vibrating member is disposed outside the transparent part of the dust-screening member. The vibrating member is configured to generate, in the bottom surface portion of the dust-screening member, vibration having a vibrational amplitude which is vertical to the bottom surface portion thereof.

A vibrating device comprising:
- a dust-screening member disposed in front of an image surface of an image forming element having the image surface in which an optical image is generated, the dust-screening member having a box shape with about the same small plate thickness as a whole, and including, in a bottom surface portion of the box shape, a transparent part which spreads from the center of the bottom surface portion;
- and
- a vibrating member disposed outside the transparent part of the dust-screening member and configured to generate, in the bottom surface portion of the dust-screening member, vibration having a vibrational amplitude which is vertical to the bottom surface portion thereof.
An image equipment comprising:
- an image forming element having an image surface in which an optical image is generated;
- a dust-screening member disposed in front of the image surface of the image forming element, the dust-screening member having a box shape with about the same small plate thickness as a whole, and including, in a bottom surface portion of the box shape, a transparent part which spreads from the center of the bottom surface portion;
- a vibrating member disposed outside the transparent part of the dust-screening member and configured to generate, in the bottom surface portion of the dust-screening member, vibration having a vibrational amplitude which is vertical to the bottom surface portion thereof;
- and
- a sealing structure portion configured to seal a space portion on the side of circumferential edges of the image forming element and the dust-screening member and to constitute the sealed space portion in a portion where both the image forming element and the dust-screening member are formed to face each other.

A vibrating device comprising:
- a dust-screening member disposed in front of an image surface of an image forming element having the image surface in which an optical image is generated, the dust-screening member being configured to have a box shape which includes a bottom surface portion having a light transmitting part through which one of light coming from the image forming element and light coming into the image forming element transmits, and side wall portions which tilt as much as a predetermined angle and extend from all end face portions of the bottom surface portion in a direction of the image forming element, and is formed so that at least the bottom surface portion has a substantially uniform small thickness;
- and
- a vibrating member disposed in one of a position of the dust-screening member other than the light transmitting part of the bottom surface portion and a flat surface portion of the side wall portion, and configured to apply, to the bottom surface portion of the dust-screening member, a vibrational amplitude which is vertical to the bottom surface portion thereof.
An image equipment comprising:
- an image forming unit including an image forming element having an image surface in which an optical image is generated;
- a dust-screening member disposed in front of an image surface of the image forming element, the dust-screening member being configured to have a box shape which includes a bottom surface portion having a light transmitting part through which one of light coming from the image forming element and light coming into the image forming element transmits, and side wall portions which tilt as much as a predetermined angle and extend from all end face portions of the bottom surface portion in a direction of the image forming element, and is formed so that at least the bottom surface portion has a substantially uniform small thickness;
- a vibrating member disposed in one of a position of the dust-screening member other than the light transmitting part of the bottom surface portion and a flat surface portion of the side wall portion, and configured to apply, to the bottom surface portion of the dust-screening member, a vibrational amplitude which is vertical to the bottom surface portion thereof;
- and
- a sealing structure portion configured to constitute a sealed space portion in a portion where both the image forming unit and the dust-screening member are formed to face each other.
