Apparatus for generating vibrations

Abstract

There is provided an apparatus for generating vibrations including: a housing having an internal space; a direction changing member installed in the housing so as to be disposed in the internal space; a piezoelectric actuator including a piezoelectric element fixed to the direction changing member such that a horizontal deformation thereof is restrained, and deforming the direction changing member by a horizontal deformation thereof; and a vibrator fixed to the direction changing member and vertically displaced in a vertical direction according to a vertical deformation of the piezoelectric actuator.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
