LENS DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18408570 titled 'LENS DEVICE
The abstract of the patent application describes a lens device that includes a lens mechanism, a tilt mechanism, and a shift mechanism. The lens mechanism consists of a lens holding member, a movement member, and a rotary member with grooves that engage with the lens holding member and movement member.
- Lens device with lens mechanism, tilt mechanism, and shift mechanism
- Lens mechanism includes lens holding member, movement member, and rotary member
- Rotary member has grooves that engage with lens holding member and movement member
- Tilt mechanism tilts the lens mechanism, while shift mechanism shifts it
- Movement member positioned at end portion of lens mechanism on object side
Potential Applications: - Camera lenses - Microscope lenses - Telescope lenses
Problems Solved: - Precise control of lens positioning - Enhanced image quality - Improved optical performance
Benefits: - Increased accuracy in capturing images - Versatile lens adjustments - Optimal focus and clarity
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Lens Devices for Imaging Systems This technology can be used in various imaging systems such as cameras, microscopes, and telescopes, enhancing their performance and image quality. The market implications include improved products for photography, scientific research, and astronomy.
Questions about Lens Devices: 1. How does the tilt mechanism contribute to the functionality of the lens device? The tilt mechanism allows for precise adjustments of the lens mechanism, enabling users to control the angle of the lens for different shooting scenarios.
2. What are the potential advantages of using a lens device with a shift mechanism? The shift mechanism allows for lateral movement of the lens mechanism, providing flexibility in composition and framing of images.
Original Abstract Submitted
A lens device includes a lens mechanism, a tilt mechanism that tilts the lens mechanism, and a shift mechanism that shifts the lens mechanism, in which the lens mechanism includes a lens holding member that holds a lens and that moves in an optical axis direction, a movement member that moves in the optical axis direction and that is positioned at an end portion of the lens mechanism that is on an object side, and a rotary member that rotates around the optical axis direction, and the rotary member includes a first groove that engages with the lens holding member and a second groove that engages with the movement member.
