Abstract: An electrodynamically controllable pivoting mirror device for an apparatus for optically reading an information carrier with the aid of a beam of radiation, in particular for a video-disc player which utilizes optical reading, the mirror device being provided with a frame on which a mirror, which is mounted with the aid of an elastic plastic, is pivotably disposed, which mirror is pivotable by means of electrodynamic control means consisting of electromagnets and/or control coils.

Abstract: An electromagnetically controllable pivoting device for pivoting a reflecting surface of a pivoting mirror about pivotal axes parallel to said surface with the aid of electrical control signals, more particularly intended for a video disc player in which a light beam is produced by means of a light source, which beam is aimed at an information track of a rotating optically readable video disc by means of the reflecting surface of the pivoting mirror. The mirror is supported by a bellows body of an elastically deformable plastic, which bellows body is provided with at least one rotation-symmetrical fold which is concentric with the optical center of the reflecting surface.
