Matthias Bening has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10036869
    Abstract: A monolithic lens mount is formed by an annular body which is divided through material recesses into an outer mount ring, an inner mount ring and three connection structures which are arranged so as to be offset by 120° relative to one another. The connection structures in each instance form a chain of at least three, preferably five, connection webs which transition into one another and which are constructed as radial connection webs and axial connection webs. The axial flexural stiffness and radial flexural stiffness and the torsional stiffness of the connection structures can be determined via the dimensioning of the radial connection webs and axial connection webs.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9442269
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mount assembly comprising two monolithic mounts in which optical components (1.3, 2.3), which can be translationally and rotationally adjusted in relation to each other, are held. The adjustment movements can be carried out without influencing one another, by providing one of the mounts as a rotational mount (1) and the other as a translational mount (2), which substantially only permit a translational and/or a rotational movement within the adjustment region provided.

  • Patent number: 8817398
    Abstract: Adjustable mount assembly having two mount parts which are adjustable relative to one another and which themselves form adjustable mounts respectively comprising an outer mount frame and an inner mount frame. The mount assembly permits a highly precise adjustment of two optical components relative to one another in a plane perpendicular to an axis and an adjustment of the two mutually adjusted optical components relative to a reference base.
