MOUNTING ASSEMBLY FOR A MIRROR IN A LASER SCANNING UNIT OF AN IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

A mounting assembly for mounting a mirror to a frame in a laser scanning unit of an electrophotographic image forming device includes a bracket attached between the frame and the mirror. The bracket includes a body having a first surface and a second surface transverse to the first surface. A first set of protrusions extends from the first surface for defining a first gap between the frame and the bracket that limits adhesive thickness therebetween when the first surface of the bracket is adhesively attached to the frame. A second set of protrusions extends form the second surface for defining a second gap between the mirror and the bracket that limits adhesive thickness therebetween when the second surface of the bracket is adhesively attached to the mirror.
