Abstract
A light emitting apparatus includes a first holder configured to hold a light source, a second holder configured to hold an optical element that condenses light from the light source, and a screw member screwed with a screw portion formed in the second holder and having an axis along a direction of an optical axis of the optical element. The screw member and the first holder respectively have contact surfaces that are along a plane orthogonal to the optical axis and in contact with each other. A recess is formed in at least one of the contact surfaces. An adhesive adhering the screw member and the first holder to each other is disposed in the recess formed in the at least one of the contact surfaces.
Claims10
A light emitting apparatus comprising:
- a first holder configured to hold a light source and including a first contact surface;
- a second holder configured to hold an optical element that condenses light from the light source, and including:
- a first screw portion whose axis extends along an optical axis direction of an optical axis of the optical element;
- and
- a second screw portion whose axis also extends along the optical axis direction;
- a first screw member configured to be screwed to the first screw portion of the second holder to hold the optical element relative to the second holder;
- and
- a second screw member screwed to the second screw portion of the second holder to secure the first holder to the second holder, and including a second contact surface,
- wherein the first contact surface includes a first recess located outside the first screw member in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and
- wherein an adhesive adhering the second screw member and the first holder to each other is disposed in the first recess, and
- wherein the first and second contact surfaces, other than at the first recess, are:
- in direct contact with each other;
- extend in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction;
- and
- confront each other in the optical axis direction.
