Claims20
A lens adapted for securement to a holder, for transmission of light, comprising
- a) a lens body, defining an axis,
- b) threading on the lens body extending about said axis, for reception in threading associated with the holder,
- c) and including said holder that extends about the lens and is configured to expand in response to interfering engagement of the threading on the lens body with said threading associated with the holder, allowing thread slippage to limit tightening of the holder onto the lens,
- d) there being an axially compressible grommet on the lens to be resiliently compressed as the holder is tightened on the lens body, creating pressure and locking friction at thread to thread interengagement locations.
