Abstract:
To provide an optical scanning sensor (1) which performs an object detection with high accuracy by suppressing the mutual interference between scanning light and reflection light, the optical scanning sensor (1) comprises a light projecting unit (2, 5) that projects light, an optical scanning actuator (3) that emits the light from the light projecting unit (2, 5) via a reflecting mirror (33) and performs scanning with the light emitted by causing the mirror (33) to swing, and a light receiving unit (4, 6) that receives, via the mirror (33), reflection light by an external object of scanning light emitted by the optical scanning actuator (3). The mirror (33) includes a first surface (33a) that reflects the light projected by the light projecting unit (2, 5) and emits the light reflected outward as the scanning light, and a second surface (33b) that is parallel to and discontinuous in a reflection area with the first surface (33a) and reflects and emits the reflection light to the light receiving unit (4, 6).

Abstract:
A multi-shaft drive device is provided that is capable of obtaining an appropriate backlash in an enmeshed state of an output side bevel gear and an input side bevel gear. An output side bevel gear (35) that is biased in the direction of an input side bevel gear by a coil spring contacts a shaft support bush attached to a wall portion (17) in an enmeshed state with the input side bevel gear. A bias direction stroke end of the output side bevel gear (35) is accordingly restricted. Moreover, the wall portion (17) is provided to a gear holder (15) fixed to a device case (10) that supports the input side bevel gear, thereby enabling the axial direction position of the output side bevel gear (35) to always be positioned at a uniform position to enmesh appropriately with the input side bevel gear.
