Abstract: An optical unit for an optical symbol reader comprises an optical scanner for scanning an optical symbol with the laser beam emitted by a light source, by angularly oscillating a reflection face for reflecting the laser beam owing to an electromagnetic force. The optical scanner comprises a loose bearing structure having a shaft and a bearing bore and supporting a rotor having the reflection face to angularly oscillate freely with respect to a base. A certain bearing gap is formed between an outer diameter of the shaft and an inner diameter of the bearing bore. The optical scanner further comprises a coil spring resiliently for urging the rotor in a predetermined direction so that a part of an outer circumferential face of the shaft may be contacted with an inner circumferential face of a bearing bore.
