DEFINITION

Classification: 369/44.15

Elastic, flexible, pliant or spring support of lens or mirror:

(under subclass 44.14) Subject matter wherein an optical element is supported by some type of elastic, flexible, pliant, resilient or spring support for allowing or limiting motion in one or more various directions (e.g., elastic support holds lens or mirrors and permits focus motion but limits lateral motion, etc.).

(1) Note. A piezoelectric bender which supports the lens or mirror meets the definition and its flexible condition.
