Abstract
A optical type pickup apparatus wherein the center of gravity of the lens holder coincides with the action point of the resultant force of the forces to be produced by the control signals input into the driving coil and by the magnetic field of the magnetic circuit. Thus, this apparatus may be provided which is capable of a signal reading operation wherein the lens holder is not out of shape even if the lens holder is driven in the focusing direction and the tracking direction. The present invention is capable of reading the signals from the signal record medium and advantageous in making the apparatus smaller, because the combination between the lens holder and each of a plurality of wires is kept away by a given amount from the end secured to the frame of the wire from the mid-point position between both the ends of the frame to control the inclination when the lens holder has moved in the focusing direction and the tracking direction to normally render the posture of the objective lens proper with respect to the disc face.
