An actuator that can be driven at a reduced voltage and manufactured with ease, and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The actuator includes second supporting portions 31 and 32 secured to a supporting substrate 4 through a spacer, fixed portions 33 and 34 secured to the supporting substrate 4 with no intervention of the spacer, fixed comb electrodes 331 and 341 integrally formed the fixed portions 33 and 34 and meshing with movable comb electrodes 211 and 212 in a spaced-apart relationship, and bridge portions 35 and 36 for connecting the fixed portions 33 and 34 to the second supporting portions 31 and 32. The fixed portions 33 and 34 are affixed to the supporting substrate 4 in a condition that they are deflected toward the supporting substrate 4 with respect to the second supporting portions 31 and 32 while bending the bridge portions 35 and 36, thereby initially deflecting the fixed comb electrodes 331 and 341 so as to be out of alignment with the movable comb electrodes 211 and 212 in a thickness direction of the supporting substrate 4.

An actuator 100 includes: a pair of driving portions 1, 11 spaced apart from each other; a movable portion 2 provided between the pair of driving portions 1, 11; a pair of supporting portions 3, 3 for supporting the pair of driving portions 1, 11 and the movable portion 2; a pair of first elastic connecting portions 4, 4 which respectively connect the pair of driving portions 1, 11 to the pair of supporting portions 3, 3 so that each of the driving portions 1, 11 can rotate with respect to the supporting portions 3, 3; and a pair of second elastic connecting portions 5, 5 which respectively connect the movable portion 2 to the pair of driving portions 1, 11 so that the movable portion 2 can rotate in accordance with the rotation of the pair of driving portions 1, 11. In this case, each of the pair of driving portions 1, 11 rotates around a rotation central axis 41 of the actuator 100 by application of an alternating voltage, whereby the movable portion 2 rotates around the rotation central axis 41 of the actuator 100. Further, the torsional rigidity of each of the first elastic connecting portions 4, 4 is larger than that of each of the second elastic connecting portions 5, 5.

A table supporting device is provided at an upper end thereof with a loop. The loop is hung on the headrest of the motor vehicle seat so that the table supporting device is positioned substantially vertically. The loop 9 is removable from the headrest. A plate-shaped table has a table holding mechanism. The table holding mechanism holds the table vertically rotatably by means of a horizontal shaft. The table holding mechanism is provided with a vertical hole. The vertical hole has a larger diameter than the table supporting device. The table supporting device is passed through the vertical hole of the table holding mechanism. A vertical bolt is threadedly engaged with the table holding mechanism. A lower end of the vertical bolt is in contact with a base portion of the table so as to maintain the table at a desired angle.

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 elastomeric 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 and 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 0.4r, each spacer having a radius 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.

An actuator having a rotation central axis includes: an insulative frame; movable comb electrodes having first electrode teeth; a movable portion between the movable comb electrodes; supporting portions on the frame supporting the movable comb electrodes and the movable portion; fixed comb electrodes on the frame corresponding to the movable comb electrodes and provided with second electrode teeth; first elastic connecting portions connecting the movable comb electrodes to the supporting portions so each movable comb electrode can rotate around the rotation central axis; and second elastic connecting portions connecting the movable portion to the movable comb electrodes so that the movable portion can rotate around the rotation central axis. Each movable comb electrode is driven by an alternating voltage between each fixed comb electrode and movable comb electrode. Part of the first electrode teeth overlaps part of the second electrode teeth when no alternating voltage is applied.
