Claim Text:
1. A vibration-type driving device comprising: a first vibrator including an electro-mechanical transducer; a first contact member in contact with the first vibrator wherein the first vibrator and the first contact member are configured so that a relative position of the first vibrator and the first contact member changes in a first direction; a first supporting member configured to support the first contact member; a second vibrator including an electro-mechanical transducer; a second contact member in contact with the second vibrator wherein the second vibrator and the second contact member are configured so that a relative position of the second vibrator and the second contact member changes in a second direction, the second direction intersecting the first direction; a second supporting member configured to support the second contact member; a moving body provided with the first vibrator and the second vibrator; a first moving mechanism configured to allow the moving body and the first vibrator to move relative to the first support member in a third direction intersecting the first direction in a plane parallel to a plane in which the first vibrator and the first contact member are in contact with each other; and a second moving mechanism configured to allow the moving body and the second vibrator to move relative to the second support member in a fourth direction intersecting the second direction in a plane parallel to a plane in which the second vibrator and the second contact member are in contact with each other, wherein the first vibrator, the first contact member, and the moving body is configured so that the first vibrator and the moving body move relative to the first contact member when the first vibrator is driven, and wherein the second vibrator, the second contact member, and the moving body are configured so that the second vibrator and the moving body move relative to the second contact member when the second vibrator is driven.
