<Prior art> An optical disk reproducing device focuses light emitted from a light source onto a pit row on a recording disk using an objective lens, and causes a light spot to accurately follow this pit row. A photodetector receives reflected light from the disk surface, converts changes in the amount of light into electrical signals, reads and reproduces information.

For example, in a video disc player, the focus direction is controlled so that the light is always focused on a minute spot on the pit row of the disc, and the tracking direction is controlled so that this spot accurately follows the pit row. It is also necessary to control the tangential direction to eliminate time axis fluctuations due to uneven rotation of the disk. As a means for performing such three-direction control, a method of driving the objective lens three-dimensionally is promising from the viewpoint of miniaturization.

However, although this method allows for miniaturization, the method of supporting it becomes a problem. In order to support the objective lens so that it can be driven in three directions, it is possible to arrange an elastic body in each direction so that it can be driven only in that direction, or to support the objective lens so that it can be driven in three directions.
Possible methods include supporting the objective lens by making it into a shape that can be driven in different directions. The former case is undesirable because it causes problems such as high-order resonance and a tendency to increase the size.

FIG. 4 is an example of a three-dimensional drive device that supports a movable part with a pair of upper and lower elastic bodies, which was proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-48232. An objective lens holder 2 with an objective lens 1 provided at its center is supported by a pair of upper and lower cross-shaped elastic bodies 3, and when attempting to move it simultaneously in the tracking direction X and the tangential direction Y, for example, It has a structure in which damping is produced by utilizing compression and tension in both longitudinal directions of the cross section of the elastic body 3. However, this structure is difficult to move and requires a large amount of force to drive.
