Patent ID: 8075171

Claim:
A lamp device capable of performing a first actuation and a second actuation, wherein, at the first actuation, the lamp device pivots a lamp about a first axis relative to a support, and, at the second actuation, the lamp device pivots the lamp about a second axis, which is perpendicular to the first axis, relative to the support, the lamp device comprising: a first actuator held by the support, the first actuator being used for performing the first actuation, wherein the first actuator includes a first output portion and a first drive source for moving the first output portion linearly along a first actuation axis, the first actuation axis being skew to the first axis and intersecting the second axis; and a second actuator held by the support, the second actuator being used for performing the second actuation, wherein the second actuator includes a second output portion and a second drive source for moving the second output portion linearly along a second actuation axis, the second actuation axis being skew to the second axis and intersecting the first axis, wherein the lamp includes a first supporting portion that is located on the first axis and at a side of the lamp and a second supporting portion that is located on the first axis and at the other side of the lamp, the first supporting portion being supported by the support to be pivotable about the intersection point of the first axis and the second axis, the second supporting portion being joined to a movable joint member that is supported by the support to be movable along the second actuation axis, wherein the first output portion is joined, on the first actuation axis, to the lamp, so as to be capable of transmitting its own linear motion to the lamp, and wherein the second output portion is joined, on the second actuation axis, to the lamp, so as to be capable of transmitting its own linear motion to the lamp.
