  • Optical mirror flexing structure and assembly
    Publication number: 20030234991
    Abstract: The present invention is an optical mirror assembly comprising; a mirror disc tapered on its a rear surface to a reduced thickness at the outer perimeter, a puller attached to the central region of the rear surface, a tensioner applying axial tension to the puller, and a perimeter support engaging the perimeter of the disc and reacting the axial tension into an axial compression force on the perimeter of the mirror disc and flexing it into a desired shape.

  • Optical mirror flexing structure and assembly
    Patent number: 6425671
    Abstract: The present invention is a structure for holding and forming an optical mirror disc. A puller plate is attached to an elastic layer to the back surface of the mirror. A tensioner applies axial tension to the puller plate. A perimeter support engages the perimeter of the disc and reacts the axial tension into an axial compression force acting on the perimeter of the disc, flexing the disc into a desired shape.
