Abstract:

To prevent a laser beam from leaking out of the optical scanning device by a simple mechanism.

Plural permanent magnets 5 are arranged on a rotary polygon mirror 3 and an electromagnet 6 is arranged above them across a slight gap. The permanent magnets 5 and electromagnet 6 attract each other magnetically to attract each other wherever the rotary polygon mirror 3 stops, and the rotary polygon mirror 3 is positioned so that a laser beam L reflected by the rotary polygon mirror 3 leaks out of an optical housing by traveling in the opposite direction to its regular scanning direction.
