Drive device and image pickup apparatus
First Claim
1. A drive device comprising:
- an imaging element creating an image signal relating to an object image;
a securing body;
a displacement body capable of displacement in a predetermined direction in a predetermined plane including a light-receiving surface of the imaging element with respect to the securing body with the imaging element mounted to the displacement body; and
a first guide mechanism and a second guide mechanism adapted each to guide displacement of the displacement body in the predetermined direction;
wherein the second guide mechanism includesguide means provided on the securing body, andguided means provided on the displacement body and guided by the guide means,the guide means being configured to be positionally changeable in a plane parallel to the predetermined plane, andthe displacement body being turnably displaced with the first guide mechanism serving as a fulcrum when the guided means is displaced in response to the positional change of the guide means.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a drive device including an imaging element creating a image signal relating to an object image, a securing body, a displacement body capable of displacement in a predetermined direction in a predetermined plane having a light-receiving surface of the imaging element with respect to the securing body with the imaging element mounted to the displacement body, and a first guide mechanism and a second guide mechanism adapted each to guide displacement of the displacement body in the predetermined direction. The second guide mechanism includes a guide device, and a guided device. The guide device is configured to be positionally changeable in a plane parallel to the predetermined plane. The displacement body is turnably displaced with the first guide mechanism serving as a fulcrum when the guided device is displaced in response to the positional change of the guide device.
