An optical apparatus includes an optical element for shifting an incident position of a light beam on an image forming plane, a plurality of restricting portions for controlling an inclination position of the optical element with respect to an optical axis by respectively coming into abutment with end portions of the optical element and restricting positions of the respective end portions in a direction of the optical axis, and a driving part for driving the optical element to bring the optical element into abutment with the restricting portions. Each of the restricting portions has position restricting surfaces formed before and behind a corresponding one of the end portions of the optical element in the direction of the optical axis, and an inclination angle of the optical element relative to the optical axis is determined in such a way that the position of each of the end portions in the direction of the optical axis is restricted by the position restricting surfaces in a corresponding one of the restricting portions.

Image pickup apparatus with optical beam shifting with independently controlled optical elements

This specification discloses a card processing apparatus which is constructed such that a card having information recorded thereon and a paper leaf are superposedly placed on card tray movably disposed in an opening formed within the housing of the apparatus and the following card processing is carried out by pushing the card tray into the interior of the housing: first, the card and the paper leaf are separated from each other and the card alone is transported so that first information recorded on the card is read by reader means, whereafter the card is transported back to the card tray to restore its initial position; next, information extraneously entered is compared with the first information read from the card and only when the two types of information are identical, urge means is operated to urge the superposed card and paper leaf, whereby second information recorded on the card is recorded onto the paper leaf.
