A lens mount with a mount ring () having a mount ring axis (), at which mount ring () is provided an edge support () which is radially extended with respect to the mount ring axis (), with a round optical component () which contacts the edge support () by an end face and with an intermediate ring () which contacts the other end face of the optical component () and which is fixed in position opposite the mount ring (), e.g., by means of a screw ring (). Three point-shaped first protuberances () and second protuberances (), respectively, are provided at the edge support () and at the intermediate ring () in each instance on an imaginary circular ring () of identical size at angular distances relative to one another, and one each of the first protuberances () and one each of the second protuberances () lie in each instance on an imaginary straight line () running parallel to the mount ring axis () through the edge region ().

Lens mount with intermediate ring

The invention relates to a mount assembly comprising two monolithic mounts in which optical components (), which can be translationally and rotationally adjusted in relation to each other, are held. The adjustment movements can be carried out without influencing one another, by providing one of the mounts as a rotational mount () and the other as a translational mount (), which substantially only permit a translational and/or a rotational movement within the adjustment region provided.

Independently adjustable mount assembly for two optical components

The invention relates to a monolithic optical mount, which is divided by a plurality of cutouts into a stationary outer mount ring, a laterally adjustable inner mount ring, and manipulator units that are arranged with uniform offset from each other and formed by the remaining material connections. The cutouts have a uniform constant width and can therefore advantageously be produced by milling. The manipulator units have a simple geometrical design in the form of T- or L-shaped webs.

Monolithic optical mount

The invention relates to an optical mounting comprising a stationary outer mounting and an inner mounting part embodied to receive an optical element. The aim of the invention is to enlarge the adjustment path in the direction of the optical axis of the optical element that is to be mounted, and as a result, obtaining high stability and rigidity that is perpendicular to the optical axis. Also, the invention aims at keeping the space requirements and the manufacturing and mounting costs as low as possible.

Optical mounting and optical component comprising said type of optical mounting

The present invention relates to an optical mount, in particular a lens mount, which is divided by a plurality of cuts in the mount material into a stationary outer mounting ring, a laterally adjustable inner mounting ring and three bent lever manipulator units which are offset by 120&#xb0; relative to one another and which comprise a bent lever having a first element, one end of which is connected by way of a bent lever flexure hinge to one end of a second element, the other end of the first element being connected to the inner mounting ring, the other end of the second element being connected to the outer mounting ring, and with the first and second elements enclosing a bent angle smaller than 180&#xb0;. By manipulating the three bent lever manipulator units, any center position of the inner mounting ring can be adjusted relative to the center of the outer mounting ring within an intended displacement range.
