Patent ID: 8456771

Claim:
A holding arrangement, comprising: a basic structure configured to surround an optical element; a mounting device by which the optical element can be supported on the basic structure, the mounting device having a degree of freedom for a rotational movement about an optical axis, the mounting device having a degree of freedom for a translational movement along a first axis which extends perpendicularly to the optical axis and intersects the optical axis in a center, the mounting device having four joint locations arranged point-symmetrically with respect to the center; four pivot joints; four pivot arms, each joint location having a corresponding pivot arm configured to be coupled with the optical element, each pivot arm being connected to the basic structure via a corresponding pivot joint; and two parallel rockers, each parallel rocker being displaceable parallel to the first axis, each parallel rocker being connected to the basic structure, each parallel rocker having a corresponding two pivot arms articulated thereto, wherein the two parallel rockers are configured so that a movement of the two parallel rockers in opposite directions causes the optical element to rotate about the optical axis.
