the frame main body has a fixing portion, and the lens is fixed to the holder of the frame main body by fixing the fixing portion to a housing case of the projector such that deformation of the lens frame is suppressed, the lens being fixed to the holder by an action of an elastic force of the frame main body.
2. The lens frame according to claim 1, wherein
the second holding portions is formed so that holding areas of the second holding portion configured to hold one surface side of the lens to be first inserted are wider than holding areas of the second holding portion configured to hold the other surface side of the lens.
3. The lens frame according to claim 1, wherein
the opening in the frame main body is made by cutting out one portion of the holder.
4. The lens frame according to claim 1, wherein
the frame main body includes auxiliary portion for elastically deforming the frame main body outward.
5. The lens frame according to claim 4, wherein
the auxiliary portion are installed near both sides of the opening of the frame main body.
6. A projector, comprising
the lens frame according to claim 5;
a lens configuring an optical system of a projector is held in the lens frame;
a light source configured to emits a luminous flux; and
an optical modulation device configured to modulate the luminous flux emitted from the light source and transmitted via the lens holding device, based on an image signal.
7. The projector according to claim 6, wherein
the second holding portion are formed so that holding areas of the second holding portion configured to hold one surface side of the lens to be first inserted are wider than holding areas of the second holding portion configured to hold the other surface side of the lens.
8. The projector according to claim 6, wherein
the opening in the frame body is made by cutting out one portion of the holder.
9. The projector according to claim 6, wherein
the frame main body includes auxiliary portion for elastically deforming the frame main body outward.
10. The projector according to claim 9, wherein
the auxiliary portion are installed near both sides of the opening of the frame main body.
11. The lens frame according to claim 1, wherein the fixing portion is fixed within a fixing groove formed in the housing case.
12. The lens frame according to claim 1 wherein the frame main body includes a first auxiliary portion disposed on a first side of the opening and a second auxiliary portion disposes on a second of the opening such that the frame main body is elastically deformed outward so as to increase the size of the opening when the first auxiliary portion and the second auxiliary portion are forced in opposite directions.
13. The lens frame according to claim 12, wherein at least one of the first auxiliary portion and the second auxiliary portion includes a hole extending through the frame main body.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
