ABSTRACT:
A device for supporting and positioning the objective lens in an optical reading apparatus, such as, a video disc player, comprises a first pair of parallel leaf springs attached at one end thereof to a fixed support member for motion parallel to a record medium surface. A movable frame is attached to the other ends of the first springs, and a second pair of leaf springs movable perpendicularly to the record medium surface extend from the frame, the second springs being generally parallel to and between the first pair but with their faces perpendicular to those of the first pair. The objective lens is mounted at the free ends of the second pair of springs, and is movable electromagnetically in orthogonally related directions by means of coils and magnets associated with the objective lens and with the frame.
