Patent ID: 6922842

Claim:
An optical pick-up device comprising: a lens that focuses light onto a surface of a recording medium; a lens holder that holds the lens; a suspension holder that supports the lens holder disposed opposite a distal end of the lens holder; a frame formed so as to be disposed opposite both lateral surfaces of the lens holder and the distal end of the lens holder, the frame supporting the suspension holder; a plurality of elastic supports that movably support the lens holder, a distal end of the elastic supports mounted on the suspension holder and a proximal end retained by the lens holder; and an actuator that drives the lens holder, the actuator including a focus coil, a tracking coil and at least one magnet, wherein a plurality of projections are provided on at least one of the frame and the suspension holder, with the projections acting as stoppers that restrict rotation of the lens holder so as to prevent excessive deformation of the elastic supports with at least one of said plurality of projections being provided on said frame in addition to another projection which is provided on the lens holder being laterally disposed in an arrangement spaced side by side along the same plane and in parallel to one another relative to the recording surface.
