Patent number: 5805360Abstract: An objective lens drive device that can be assembled with a high production efficiency, without any adhesives being forced out. The objective lens drive device is in the form of a bi-axial actuator having empty chambers 25a, 25b formed by a portion of a bobbin holder 15, a portion of a lens holder 2, and a portion of a coil bobbin 4. The empty chambers 25a, 25b are filled with an adhesive 3 to bond the coil bobbin 4 to the lens holder 2. Thus, no adhesives are forced out, and the adhesive can be cured within a short time.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1996Date of Patent: September 8, 1998Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takamichi Tomiyama, Koji Mitsumori, Keiichi Shibata

Patent number: 5684645Abstract: A lens moving apparatus of the present invention is used in an optical pickup of, for example, an optical recording/reproducing system. The apparatus includes a moving assembly holding an objective lens and provided with a coil bobbin, elastic supporting devices which support the moving assembly along the focusing dimension and the tracking dimension, focusing coils and tracking coils wound on the coil bobbin, and a magnetic circuit formed by a yoke and a magnet. The center of gravity of the moving assembly is positioned so that the product of the distance from an effective section of the focusing coil to the center of gravity of the moving assembly and the force produced at the effective section is about equal to the product of the distance from a noneffective section of the focusing coil to the center of gravity of the moving assembly and the force produced at the noneffective section.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1995Date of Patent: November 4, 1997Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takamichi Tomiyama, Koji Mitsumori, Keiichi Shibata, Hideo Ohkuma

Patent number: 5657172Abstract: An objective lens driving device used in an optical recording and/or reproduction apparatus comprises a lens holder, elastic supporting members, a coil bobbin and a yoke. An objective lens is mounted in the lens holder. The elastic supporting members have one end attached to the lens holder and the other end attached to a mounting part. The elastic supporting members support the lens holder movably in a direction parallel to the optical axis of the objective lens and in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis. A coil for focusing and coils for tracking are wound on the coil bobbin. A magnet is mounted on the yoke, and the width of this magnet is selected so that flux from the magnet acts only on effective portions of the coils for tracking.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1995Date of Patent: August 12, 1997Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Keiichi Shibata, Koji Mitsumori, Takamichi Tomiyama

Patent number: 5535059Abstract: An objective lens drive device used in a an optical recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a lens holder, a plurality of elastic supporting members and a coil bobbin. The lens holder holds an objective lens. Each one end portion of the plurality of elastic supporting members are fixed to the lens holder and each other end portion of the elastic supporting members are fixed to a fixed portion. The plurality of elastic supporting members movably support the lens holder in a parallel direction of the objective lens and a horizontal direction ortjogonal to the optical axis of the objective lens. A focussing coil is wound around the coil bobbin. At least one tracking coil is attached to the focussing coil. The coil bobbin is provided with a plurality of terminals to project therefrom. The terminals are wound with the end portions of the focussing coils and the end portions of the tracking coil.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1994Date of Patent: July 9, 1996Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Koji Mitsumori, Takamichi Tomiyama, Keiichi Shibata

Patent number: 5521762Abstract: A method is provided for producing an objective lens actuator in which a first resin portion which is a stationary portion and a second resin portion which is a movable portion on which an objective lens is to be mounted are integrally formed to plate-like bases in which a plurality of elastic support portions for movably supporting the movable portion relative to the stationary portion in a direction of an optical axis of the objective lens are formed in parallel with each other, so that the first resin portion and the second resin portions are connected to each other by the elastic support portions. At the same time, connecting portions provided between each of the elastic support portions and each plate-like base portion are formed so as not to overlap each other as viewed in the direction of the optical axis of the objective lens. The plurality of elastic support portions are cut away from the bases at the connecting portions.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1994Date of Patent: May 28, 1996Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takamichi Tomiyama, Koji Mitsumori, Keiichi Shibata

Patent number: 5500771Abstract: A biaxial actuator for an optical pickup, including a lens holder for supporting an objective lens, a coil bobbin mounted on the lens holder, a focusing coil and a tracking coil both wound around the coil bobbin, and a supporting portion for supporting the lens holder through elastic members. The lens holder and the supporting portion to be fixedly mounted to a fixed member are integrally formed with the elastic members. The coil bobbin has terminal pins around which wire ends of the focusing coil and the tracking coil are wound, and the terminal pins are directly connected to the elastic members.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1994Date of Patent: March 19, 1996Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Takamichi Tomiyama

Patent number: 5161067Abstract: An optical pickup device with an objective lens movable in two directions comprises a supporting member having a plate-shaped supporting portion mounted with a bobbin to which an objective lens is attached. The bobbin is mounted so that it can be freely moved in a first direction parallel to the optical axis of the objective lens and/or in a second direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the objective lens, and an electromagnetic driving device drives the bobbin in the first and second directions. The supporting member is unitarily formed with four arms supporting the bobbin at one end and a coupling portion for connecting the four arms at the other end.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 1990Date of Patent: November 3, 1992Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takamichi Tomiyama, Hitoshi Nara, Osamu Adachi
