Optical elements holder device for coating station
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240034012A1) describes an optical elements holder device for a coating station that includes a sheet carrier with individual openings, each having a shoulder to hold optical elements like lenses during a coating procedure. The sheet carrier is dome-shaped and positioned above a vaporization source to orient the optical elements towards it. Additionally, the device includes an adapter ring with an outer portion supported by the opening's shoulder and an inner support portion to hold smaller diameter optical elements at the same level as the opening's shoulder.
Furthermore, the adapter ring in the optical elements holder device can cooperate with flexible elastic elements to accommodate optical elements with non-standard geometries. The inner support portion of the adapter ring can have multiple sections protruding towards the center or be circular and continuous around the inner periphery of the ring. The patent also covers the use of the adapter ring with the optical elements holder device, emphasizing its ability to support smaller diameter optical elements securely during the coating process. Overall, the invention aims to provide a reliable and versatile solution for holding optical elements in a coating station, ensuring precise and efficient coating procedures.
