Abstract
In order to quickly stop vibration of a vibrator of a vibrator controlling circuit, according to the present invention, an intermittent signal is generated by a spring vibration control integrated circuit, a switching element is turned on/off based on the intermittent signal from the spring vibration control integrated circuit, an intermittent electric current is supplied to a spring vibrator by switching of the switching circuit and the spring vibrator is vibrated. When vibration of the spring vibrator is stopped, a signal opposite to that when the spring vibrator is vibrated is applied from the spring vibration control integrated circuit to the switching element so as to cause the spring vibrator to generate a force to attenuate vibration and to stop the vibrator from vibrating.
