Patent ID: 7342732

Claim:
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 flexible 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 ); wherein first and second ends of the at least one flexible spring element are axially spaced, whereby the first end is connected with the stop edge ( 5 ) and the second end is connected with the circumferentially closed jacket sleeve; and wherein the optical mount is formed as a one-piece construction.
