Patent number: 10191189Abstract: A wide angle optical lens, an optical lens unit, and an imaging device are small-sized and can secure an attachment space even when space is limited, and can avoid adhesion peeling or the extrusion of an adhesive. Optical lens (10) has a lens frame receiving surface (2a) on the side of first optical surface (S1) having a smaller optical surface diameter than second optical surface (S2), and is further provided with an adhesion space forming surface (3a) on the surrounding side of the lens frame receiving surface (2a). Therefore, it is possible to suppress adhesion peeling even when a smaller size is requested. Furthermore, by securing a larger size for lens frame receiving surface (2a), it is possible to suppress leakage or extrusion of adhesive from lens frame receiving surface (2a) and thus adherence to first optical surface (S1).Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: KONICA MINOLTA, INC.Inventors: Hajime Mori, Dai Akutsu, Shinichiro Hara

Patent number: 9914252Abstract: Technique to provide a molding die which can easily release a minute optical element in a state of favorable surface accuracy, while bending or rupture of a gate portion attached to the optical element is prevented. By making a first outer circumferential transfer surface 21A of a fixed die 20 and a first gate-forming surface 31A flush with each other, a notch shape is not formed on a portion M1 connecting an outer circumferential portion FL on the fixed die 20 side and a gate portion GP. Furthermore, by pushing out the runner portion RP at the same angle as a taper angle ? of a side-surface transfer surface 23A on a second gate-forming surface 32A side, bending deformation or the like of the gate portion GP which can occur when being pushed out to a direction perpendicular to a mold mating surface PL1 can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2013Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Konica Minolta, Inc.Inventors: Shinichiro Hara, Dai Akutsu, Hajime Mori
