LENS ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18484918 titled 'LENS ASSEMBLY

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a lens assembly with multiple lenses, including an anti-rotation lens with a flange portion. The assembly also includes a lens barrel designed to accommodate these lenses.

The lens assembly includes multiple lenses, one of which is an anti-rotation lens with a flange portion.
The flange portion of the anti-rotation lens extends along at least a portion of its circumference.
The flange portion has two inclined outer surfaces that extend in different directions from a point on the side surface.
The lens barrel is configured to house the lenses and has a coupling portion that contacts the inclined outer surfaces of the flange portion.

Key Features and Innovation:

Anti-rotation lens with a flange portion for secure positioning.
Flange portion with two inclined outer surfaces for stability.
Lens barrel designed to accommodate multiple lenses.
Coupling portion on the lens barrel for contacting the flange portion of the anti-rotation lens.

Potential Applications:

Camera lenses
Microscopes
Telescopes

Problems Solved:

Ensures proper alignment and stability of lenses.
Prevents rotation of lenses within the assembly.

Benefits:

Improved optical performance.
Secure positioning of lenses.
Easy assembly and disassembly of lenses.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be used in the manufacturing of various optical devices such as cameras, microscopes, and telescopes, improving their performance and durability.

Questions about Lens Assembly: 1. How does the flange portion of the anti-rotation lens contribute to the stability of the lens assembly? 2. What are the potential applications of this lens assembly technology in the field of optics?

Original Abstract Submitted

A lens assembly includes a plurality of lenses including an anti-rotation lens having a flange portion extending along at least a portion of a circumference of the anti-rotation lens, wherein the flange portion includes a first inclined outer surface extending in a first direction from a first outer point on a side surface of the flange portion and a second inclined outer surface extending in a second direction different from the first direction from the first outer point; and a lens barrel configured to accommodate the plurality of lenses, the lens barrel including a first coupling portion configured to contact the first inclined outer surface and the second inclined outer surface.
