Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The oscillation element according to the present invention includes a torsion bar mounted on a base, and an oscillating member having a light reflection surface for reflecting light from a light source, which is fixed on the torsion bar protruding from the base. The oscillating member oscillates about a longitudinal axis of the torsion bar with an elastic deformation of the torsion bar, thereby deflecting the light that reflects at the light reflection surface in a direction intersecting the longitudinal axis. The oscillating member has two plates that are joined together so as to sandwich the torsion bar. On joining surfaces of the plates are provided with grooves for receiving the torsion bar, respectively. The plates have a symmetrical shape that the longitudinal axis serves as the axis of symmetry.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An oscillation element comprising: a base; a torsion bar protruding from the base; and an oscillating member arranged on a side of the torsion bar away from the base, the oscillating member having two plates, each of the two plates having a same shaped groove, and the two plates being joined together so that the two plates sandwich the torsion bar within the grooves. 2. The oscillation element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein…
