Optical mount

Abstract

An optical mount (1) for optical component (2) which has a edge contour (4) relative to extending radially optical axis (A), includes a rigid optical support (3) having an axially oriented stop edge (5), which is suitable for an axial contact with the optical component (2), and at least one flexible spring element which is arranged radially outside the stop edge (5), extends axially on the component side and is curved radially inward. The radial spring element passes at an axial distance from the stop edge into a circumferentially closed jacket sleeve an inner contour (8) of which extends farther radially than the edge contour (4) of the optical component (2).

Claims

1. Optical mount for an optical component (2) which has an edge contour (4) extending radially relative to an optical axis (A), comprising a rigid optical support (3) having an axially oriented stop edge (5), which is suitable for an axial contact with the optical component (2), and at least one flexible spring element which is arranged radially outside the stop edge (5), extends axially on a component side and is curved radially inward, the at least one radial spring element passing an axial distance from the stop edge (5) into a circumferentially closed jacket sleeve (7) an inner contour (8) of which extends farther radially than the edge contour (4) of the optical component (2).

2. Optical mount according to claim 1, wherein the radial spring element is formed as a spring membrane (6).

3. Optical mount according to claim 1, wherein the radial spring means comprises at least two individual, circumferentially distributed spring segments (6′).

4. Optical mount according to claim 1, wherein the radial spring element has an inner, axially straight contact area (9) in the axial center for establishing a frictional radial contact with the optical component (2), which contact area (9) is limited axially on both sides by thin spring areas (10).

5. Optical mount according to claim 4, wherein the optical mount is formed as one-piece construction.

6. Optical mount according to claim 1, wherein the circumferentially closed jacket sleeve (7) is formed as a closed cylindrical jacket sleeve (7).

7. Optical mount according to claim 1, wherein the circumferentially closed jacket sleeve is formed as a non-circular closed contour jacket sleeve (7′).
