ABSTRACT:
A slider device (200, 800) according to the present invention includes a base (200); a running head (300) slidably provided on said base (200) along the direction guided by a prespecified guide mechanism (400); a rack (510) provided in the fixed state on either said base (200) or said running head (300) along the guide direction by said guide mechanism (400); a pinion (520) engaging with rack teeth of said rack and driven and rotated by a prespecified power source; a swing arm (540) rotatably supporting said pinion (520), having an oscillation shaft (550) parallel to a rotary shaft of said pinion, and coupled to either one of said base (200) and said running head (300) via said oscillation shaft (550) in the oscillation-allowable state with the line extending between said oscillation shaft (550) and the rotary shaft of said pinion substantially parallel to said rack (510) as the reference state; and a biasing mechanism (570) for biasing said pinion (520) toward said rack (510) via said swing arm (540).
