Each of the pair of drive mechanisms includes a drive mass portion, a support portion for supporting the drive mass portion, a first elastic connecting portion interconnecting the drive mass portion and the support portion so as to allow the drive mass portion to be pivoted about a pivotal axis with respect to the support portion, and a second elastic connecting portion interconnecting the drive mass portion and the movable mass portion so as to allow the movable mass portion to be pivoted about a pivotal axis with respect to the drive mass portion. The first elastic connecting portion includes a pair of bending bars opposed to each other with interposing the pivotal axis of the drive mass portion therebetween. The first elastic connecting portion includes a pair of piezoelectric elements jointed respectively onto the pair of bending bars so as to bend the pair of bending bars in opposite directions to cause pivotal movement to the drive mass portion. The pivotal movement of the drive mass portion causes torsional deformation to the second elastic connecting portion so as to pivot the movable mass portion.

Abstract: An ornamental article such as a pearl necklace has a plurality of gem objects each having a spherical surface and a through hole extending substantially perpendicularly to the spherical surface, a string threaded through the gem objects to interconnect them, and a plurality of spacers of an elastomerica material interposed between adjacent ones of the gem objects and having through holes through which the string extends. Each of the spacers has a thicker central portion of a thinner outer circumferential edge. The spherical surface of each of the adjacent gem objects has a radius of curvature of r. The thicker central portion having a thickness of at most 0.25, each spacer having a diameter of at most 0.77r. With this arrangement, the gem objects can easily be threaded on the string. The string is prevented from being subjected to undue tension even when bent strongly, so that the string and the gem objects are projected against damage in use or sale.
