A stopper 30 includes a projected portion 35 for restricting movement of a
movable section in a focusing direction and a wall section 34 for
restricting movement of the movable section in a tracking direction, the
projected portion 35 and the wall section 34 being integrally formed from
a synthetic resin. With the arrangement, a single stopper 30 can
simultaneously restrict the movements of the movable section both in the
focusing direction and the tracking direction and determine its movable
ranges. Accordingly, unlike conventional arrangements, discrete stoppers
for the focusing direction and the tracking direction do not have to be
provided, thereby reducing the number of components and cost as well as
facilitating mounting operation. In addition, even when a strong impact
is applied, the stopper will not be deformed.
