Abstract:
In a lens module, a tubular body includes first and second openings at respective first and second ends thereof. Lenses are disposed in the tubular body such that the lenses have a common optical axis. An elastically tubular eccentricity restriction member is coaxially disposed in the tubular body such that the outer periphery of the eccentricity restriction member is in contact with the inner periphery of the tubular body, and the inner periphery of the eccentricity restriction member surrounds the outer periphery of at least one of the lenses while inwardly biasing the outer periphery of the at least one of the lenses. The eccentricity restriction member includes a holder formed at the first end thereof. The holder is attached to one of the lenses that is closest to the first end of the eccentricity restriction member.

Claim (Index 9):
A lens module comprising:\n a tubular body having opposing first and second ends in an axial direction thereof, and an inner periphery, the tubular body comprising first and second openings at the respective first and second ends, each of the first and second openings communicating with an interior of the tubular body, the first opening being configured to enable light to be incident into the tubular body therethrough; a plurality of lenses disposed in the tubular body such that the lenses have a common optical axis; a plurality of eccentricity restriction members each made of an elastic tubular member and having opposing first and second ends in an axial direction thereof, and an inner periphery and an outer periphery, each of the eccentricity restriction members being coaxially arranged in the tubular body such that:\n the outer periphery of the eccentricity restriction member is in contact with the inner periphery of the tubular body; and \n the inner periphery of the eccentricity restriction member surrounds an outer periphery of a corresponding one of the lenses while inwardly biasing the outer periphery of the corresponding one of the lenses, \n each of the eccentricity restriction members comprising a holder formed at the first end thereof, the holder of each of the eccentricity restriction members being attached to a corresponding one of the lenses; and a securing member attached to the second end of the tubular body and configured to press one of the lenses toward the first end of the tubular body to thereby secure the lenses and the eccentricity restriction members to the tubular body, one of the lenses pressed by the securing member being closest to the second end of the tubular body.
