==COUPLING MEMBER, CONNECTOR COUPLING SET, OPTICAL COUPLING STRUCTURE, AND COUPLING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18201810 titled 'COUPLING MEMBER, CONNECTOR COUPLING SET, OPTICAL COUPLING STRUCTURE, AND COUPLING METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a coupling member used to connect an optical component to a connector.
* The coupling member has a locking portion that can be locked to the optical component.
* An elastic portion is included to press the connector towards the optical component.
* A connecting portion connects the locking portion to the elastic portion.
* The elastic portion can move outward of the connector in a planar direction defined by the first and second directions.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A coupling member for coupling an optical component to a connector in a first direction is disclosed. The coupling member includes a locking portion that extends in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the coupling member being configured to be locked to the optical component, an elastic portion configured to press the connector toward the optical component in the first direction, and a connecting portion that connects the locking portion to the elastic portion. The elastic portion is movable outward of the connector in a planar direction defined by the first direction and the second direction.
