Abstract
The present invention is made to provide a fixing structure for solid state image forming device made inexpensively and easily by simple caulking adhering method with keeping high positional accuracy, by which it is achieved that the solid state image forming device can be separated easily from the image focusing lens holding member when the image focusing lens holding member has a defect. In the fixing structure of present invention, an image focusing lens holding memberand an intermediate holding memberare adhered by caulking adhering method. Because one or more projecting portionfor painting adhesive material formed on the image focusing lens holding memberhave smaller area than that of bottom surfaceof the intermediate holding membera spaceis formed between the image focusing lens holding memberand the intermediate holding memberthe solid state image forming devicefixed on the intermediate holding membercan be easily separated from the image focusing lens holding memberby inserting and turning a toolwhose width of top portion is smaller than the width of space
