A flashlight lens cover has a generally cylindrical body member and a generally circular cap member which is pivotally connected to the body member. A spring member urges the cap member to an open position. When inward force is imparted to opposite sides of the body member, said sides move relatively closer together causing a first end and second end to move relatively further apart causing a retaining ledge of a latch member to be moved away from engagement with an edge portion of the cap causing the cap member to move to an open position until manually closed.

Optical alignment apparatus, consisting of an optical element (28) having a curved surface (29), and an optical bench (22), including a mounting surface (21) for mounting of an optical component (24, 44) thereon. The optical bench has an opening (26) formed in the mounting surface, the opening having a size and shape suitable to engage the curved surface of the optical element so as to permit alignment of the optical element with the optical component by relative rotation of the optical element within the opening while the curved surface is engaged by the opening.

Lens for a laser-ignited internal combustion engine, with an at least approximately spherical basic shape, the lens (1) having an aspherical region (3) which is formed so that the lens (1) is at least approximately free from spherical aberration.
摘要:
An optical system operable to transmit an energy flux is described. A first substantially spherical lens includes first and second substantially hemispherical portions joined at an interface. The interface includes a partially reflective material on a first substantially planar surface of at least one of the first and second hemispherical portions. A second lens has a convex surface and a second substantially planar surface. A portion of the second substantially planar surface of the second lens is secured to the first lens to form an optical axis. The first and second lenses are operable to transmit a first portion of the energy flux along the optical axis. The partially reflective surface is operable to reflect a second portion of the energy flux at an angle to the optical axis.
摘要:
A method for making an optical connector support member. The method can be broadly summarized by the following steps: One or more features are partially etched in a monocrystalline substrate to form a template. The features are etched in the substrate to a depth necessary to form the functional portions of the features. An inverse replica is created and then separated from the template. Additional material is bonded to the inverse replica in the regions that correspond to the features that were partially etched in the monocrystalline substrate. The inverse replica with the additional material bonded thereto is then used as a pattern for making a support member. A multi-fiber support member made using the inverse replica described in the foregoing will have one or more features formed therein that correspond to the features etched in the monocrystalline substrate, but are deeper because of the additional material that was bonded to the inverse replica.
摘要:
Apparatus (11) is robotically operated to pick up an optical element such as a ball lens (12) or an optical fiber, place it in a groove or depression (13) of a substrate (14), and apply pressure to it so that it is bonded to the substrate. The tool comprises a retracting element holder (17) surrounding a bonding tool (16). A vacuum channel (18) communicates with the element holder so that, by the application of a vacuum, it can pick up an optical element. The tool then moves the element to place it, for example, in a depression (13) of a substrate, whereupon the vacuum is released, thereby to allow the element to nest between opposing sidewalls of the depression. The retracting holder element is simultaneously retracted vertically upwardly so as to expose a bonding surface of the bonding tool. After the element has nested in the groove, the bonding tool contacts the element and forces it against opposite sidewalls to effect a thermo-compression bond of the optical element with the sidewalls.
摘要:
An alignment subsystem that incorporates a ball and lever approach to adjust windage and elevation. The system provides a low cost, vibration immune red dot and/or reticle device for a weapon system. The materials used to construct the system also provide for temperature indifference and increased wear characteristics.
摘要:
A tritium housing includes a body extending from a first end to a second end to define a hollow extending therebetween. A lens is disposed adjacent and surrounded by the first end of the body and a tritium vial is disposed within the hollow to produce illumination visible through the lens. The body is comprised of a colored plastic material for magnifying and brightening the tritium illumination during a daylight use of the tritium housing.
