An exemplary optical disc drive apparatus includes a guide shaft
configured to movably support a pickup head, and an elastically
deformable member. The elastically deformable member includes a main
body, and a cantilever slanting up from a middle part of a front edge of
the main body. The cantilever is broad at a lower portion thereof and
narrow at an upper portion thereof, and the cantilever is for resiliently
pressing a corresponding end of the guide shaft. The elastically
deformable member reduces a stress surface between the cantilever and the
guide shaft, and lengthens the life span thereof.
