Optic Lens Securing Structure with Segmented Recesses

The securing structure is divided into multiple recesses that segment the bonding interface. Each recess creates a separate bonding zone, allowing air to be expelled from individual compartments while maintaining overall bonding integrity. This segmentation prevents air entrapment that would otherwise compromise adhesion between the lens and securing structure.

The recesses extend into the securing structure from the bonding surface, creating a dimensional change that allows air to escape pathways. By forming recesses that reach into the securing structure body, air can be vented through the recess openings while maintaining a substantial bonding surface area, thus eliminating air entrapment without reducing bonding effectiveness.

The securing structure uses multiple recesses distributed across the bonding surface, which can be manufactured using standard injection molding techniques. This segmented design provides multiple bonding points that collectively ensure lens stability without requiring a single large, complex, or expensive component. The recesses are formed as integral parts of the securing structure, simplifying manufacturing.

The securing structure utilizes elastomeric materials with specific viscoelastic properties that provide stable lens holding through deformation and recovery. By selecting appropriate material parameters (durometer, elasticity, tensile strength), the structure achieves robust lens stabilization without requiring complex mechanical designs or expensive manufacturing processes. The material properties themselves provide the necessary stability.
