==IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17982780 titled 'IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an image pickup apparatus that includes a sensor unit, a lens unit, a housing, a cover portion, and elastic bodies. 

* The lens unit consists of a lens and a lens frame that holds the lens.
* The housing holds both the sensor unit and the lens unit.
* The cover portion is used to cover part of the lens.
* A first elastic body is placed between a groove portion on the lens unit and an inner diameter portion of the housing.
* A second elastic body is placed between the cover portion and the lens.
* Both elastic bodies apply biasing forces to the lens unit in the same direction along the optical axis.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Image pickup devices such as digital cameras, smartphones, and surveillance cameras.
* Optical systems that require precise alignment and stabilization of lenses.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Ensures proper alignment and stabilization of the lens unit within the housing.
* Reduces the risk of misalignment or movement of the lens during operation.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved image quality by maintaining accurate alignment of the lens.
* Increased durability and reliability of the image pickup apparatus.
* Simplified construction and assembly process.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image pickup apparatus includes a sensor unit, a lens unit that includes a lens and a lens frame configured to hold the lens, a housing configured to hold the sensor unit and the lens unit, a cover portion configured to cover part of the lens, a first elastic body disposed between a groove portion provided in an outer diameter portion of the lens unit and an inner diameter portion of the housing, and a second elastic body disposed between the cover portion and the lens. In an optical axis direction, a first biasing force applied to the lens unit by the first elastic body acts in the same direction as a second biasing force applied to the lens unit by the second elastic body.
