First Claim
1. A vibrating device comprising:
- a dust-screening member which is shaped like a plate as a whole and has at least one side that is symmetric with respect to a symmetry axis;
a vibrating member secured to the dust-screening member and configured to produce, at the dust-screening member, vibration having a vibrational amplitude perpendicular to a surface of the dust-screening member; and
a drive unit configured to drive the vibrating member to produce vibration Z(x, y) at the dust-screening member, the vibration being expressed as follows;
Z(x,y)=Wmn(x,y)·
cos(γ
)+Wnm(x,y)·
sin(γ
)where Z(x, y) is vibration at a given point P(x, y) on the dust-screening member;
m and n are positive integers including 0, indicating the order of natural vibration corresponding to a vibrational mode;

Abstract
A vibrating device includes a dust-screening member which is shaped like a plate as a whole and has at least one side that is symmetric with respect to a symmetry axis, and a vibrating member secured to the dust-screening member and configured to produce, at the dust-screening member, vibration having a vibrational amplitude perpendicular to a surface of the dust-screening member. The vibrating device further includes a drive unit configured to drive the vibrating member to produce vibration Z(x, y) at the dust-screening member, the vibration being expressed as follows:
Z(x,y)=Wmn(x,y)·cos(γ)+Wnm(x,y)·sin(γ)
where Z(x, y) is vibration at a given point P(x, y) on the dust-screening member, m and n are positive integers including 0, indicating the order of natural vibration corresponding to a vibrational mode,
γ is +π/4 or ranges from −π/8 to −π/4.

7. An image equipment comprising:
-
an image forming element having an image surface on which an optical image is formed; a dust-screening member which is shaped like a plate as a whole, has at least one side that is symmetric with respect to a symmetry axis, and has a light-transmitting region flaring in a radial direction from the center, facing the image surface and spaced therefrom by a predetermined distance; a vibrating member configured to produce vibration having an amplitude perpendicular to a surface of the dust-screening member, the vibrating member being provided on the dust-screening member, outside the light-transmitting region through which a light beam forming an optical image on the image surface passes; a sealing structure configured to surround the image forming element and the dust-screening member, thereby providing a closed space in which the image forming element and the dust-screening member that face each other; and a drive unit configured to drive the vibrating member to produce vibration Z(x, y) at the dust-screening member, the vibration being expressed as follows;
Z(x,y)=Wmn(x,y)·
cos(γ
)+Wnm(x,y)·
sin(γ
)where Z(x, y) is vibration at a given point P(x, y) on the dust-screening member;
m and n are positive integers including 0, indicating the order of natural vibration corresponding to a vibrational mode; - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
