Abstract
In a ranging device, a mirror support has a pair of deflection mirrors installed on both surfaces. A pair of partition plates are installed to bookend the pair of deflection mirrors and the mirror support in a direction normal to the reflective surfaces of the deflection mirrors. A clip grips and secures the pair of deflection mirrors, the mirror support, and the pair of partition plates. A motor rotates these components. Each partition plate includes a plate-like portion extending along a plane normal to the axis of rotation so as to partition a corresponding reflective surface into two regions, and an upright portion extending along the corresponding reflective surface from a position on the plate-like portion where the plate-like portion faces the corresponding reflective surface. The clip grips the pair of deflection mirrors and the mirror support via the upright portion in the direction normal to the reflective surfaces.
