OPTICAL APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18358397 titled 'OPTICAL APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an optical apparatus that includes an optical element, a holding barrel, a biasing barrel, and an elastic member. The holding barrel has receivers for positioning the optical element in the optical axis and orthogonal directions. The elastic member biases the biasing barrel towards the holding barrel, causing the optical element to be pressed against the receivers and held in place.

  • The optical apparatus includes an optical element, a holding barrel, a biasing barrel, and an elastic member.
  • The holding barrel has receivers for positioning the optical element in the optical axis and orthogonal directions.
  • The elastic member biases the biasing barrel towards the holding barrel.
  • The optical element is pressed against the receivers and held in place by the biasing force.
  • A movement amount limiting portion limits the relative movement between the biasing and holding barrels in the optical axis and orthogonal directions.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Optical instruments and devices that require precise positioning and alignment of optical elements.
  • Cameras, telescopes, microscopes, and other imaging systems.
  • Optical sensors and detectors.
  • Fiber optic communication systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures accurate positioning and alignment of optical elements.
  • Prevents movement or misalignment of optical elements due to external factors or vibrations.
  • Provides stability and reliability in optical systems.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved optical performance and image quality.
  • Enhanced precision and accuracy in optical systems.
  • Increased stability and reliability in various applications.
  • Simplified assembly and maintenance of optical devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

An optical apparatus including: an optical element; a holding barrel that holds the optical element; a biasing barrel that holds the optical element between the holding barrel and the biasing barrel; and an elastic member that biases the biasing barrel toward the holding barrel, in which the holding barrel includes a first and second receivers for positioning the optical element in an optical axis direction and in an optical axis orthogonal direction, respectively, in which the elastic member biases the biasing barrel to cause the optical element being pressed against the first and second receivers, and being held with respect to the holding barrel in the optical axis and orthogonal directions, and in which the optical apparatus includes a movement amount limiting portion that limits a relative movement amount between the biasing and holding barrels in the optical axis and orthogonal directions.
