LENS MECHANISM AND LENS DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18471310 titled 'LENS MECHANISM AND LENS DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The lens mechanism described in the abstract consists of a lens holding member, a movement member connected to the lens holding member, a fixation member supporting the movement member to be movable in an optical axis direction, a sensor detecting the position of the movement member, and an adjustment mechanism of the lens holding member. The sensor and adjustment mechanism are located inside the fixation member.

  • Lens mechanism with lens holding member, movement member, fixation member, sensor, and adjustment mechanism
  • Sensor detects movement member position
  • Adjustment mechanism for lens holding member
  • All components housed inside fixation member

Potential Applications

The lens mechanism can be used in various optical devices such as cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and other imaging systems where precise lens adjustments are required.

Problems Solved

1. Precise positioning of lenses 2. Simplified adjustment mechanisms for lenses in optical devices

Benefits

1. Improved image quality due to precise lens positioning 2. Ease of use in adjusting lenses 3. Compact design with all components housed inside the fixation member

Potential Commercial Applications

Optical equipment manufacturers can incorporate this lens mechanism into their products to enhance performance and user experience.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be lens mechanisms with external adjustment mechanisms that may not provide the same level of precision and compactness as the described invention.

Unanswered Questions

How does the sensor communicate with the adjustment mechanism to ensure accurate lens positioning?

The abstract does not provide details on the communication process between the sensor and the adjustment mechanism.

Are there any specific materials or technologies used in the construction of the lens mechanism to ensure durability and reliability?

The abstract does not mention the materials or technologies used in the construction of the lens mechanism.


Original Abstract Submitted

A lens mechanism includes a lens holding member that holds a lens, a movement member that is connected to the lens holding member, a fixation member that supports the movement member to be movable in an optical axis direction, a sensor that detects a position of the movement member, and an adjustment mechanism of the lens holding member. The sensor and the adjustment mechanism are disposed on an inside of the fixation member.
