A drive apparatus includes an actuator, an engaging body configured to frictionally engage the actuator, and an optical-path-changing member configured so as to be magnetically linked to the engaging body, and configured to change the direction of an optical path. The actuator causes the engaging body to move in a first direction and in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The optical-path-changing member moves due to being biased by the engaging body when the engaging body has moved in the first direction, and the optical-path-changing member moves following movement of the engaging body due to magnetic attraction when the engaging body has moved in the second direction.

The invention provides an optical head device in which the influence of mechanical vibration generated at resonance frequencies of high orders (second and higher orders) can be eliminated and an optical recording/reproducing apparatus utilizing the same. Sidewalls are formed from both ends of a sidewall constituting the top side of a trapezoidal contour of a lens holder portion, the sidewalls extending in the form of a fan to define a predetermined angle between them. A damping system includes a weight in the form of a metal thin plate and a visco-elastic adhesive for bonding the weight to the sidewalls. The visco-elastic adhesive transfers vibration of the lens holder in the direction of an optical axis of an objective lens to the weight and has a viscous damping property which damps vibration of the weight in the direction of the optical axis.
