Motor and electronic apparatus including motor

An electronic apparatus comprising a motor,

• wherein the motor includes:
• a vibrator;
• a plurality of pressing members that presses the vibrator onto a contacting member in contact with the vibrator;
• a transmission member that transmits pressing force, which is applied by the plurality of pressing members, to the vibrator;
• a first holding member that holds the vibrator;
• a second holding member that holds the transmission member;
• and
• a coupling member that couples the first holding member to the second holding member;
• wherein the vibrator and the contacting member move relatively by vibrations that occur in the vibrator,
• wherein the vibrator includes a protruding part that is provided on a surface opposite to a surface on a transmission member side,
• wherein the plurality of pressing members is arranged separately to surround the protruding part, and
• wherein the coupling member is arranged at a position closer to the protruding part than the plurality of pressing members.

A motor that enables a vibrator and a contacting member in contact with the vibrator to move relatively by vibrating the vibrator, the motor comprising:

• a pressing mechanism that includes a plurality of elastic members and a transmission member transmitting force by the plurality of elastic members to the vibrator, and that presses the vibrator onto the contacting member;
• a first member that holds the vibrator;
• a second member that holds the pressing mechanism;
• and
• a coupling member that couples the first holding member to the second holding member,
• wherein the coupling member includes a rolling member that enables the first and second members to relatively move in a pressing direction of the pressing mechanism,
• wherein the plurality of elastic members is arranged around the vibrator in a plane orthogonal to the pressing direction, and
• wherein the rolling member is arranged at a position closer to the vibrator than the plurality of elastic members in at least one direction of a relative movement direction of the vibrator and the contacting member or a direction orthogonal to both of the pressing direction and the relative movement direction.
