Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A lens cleaning device includes a piezoelectric member including a first side, a second side, and a central aperture. The piezoelectric member is operably coupled to a power source. A resilient member includes an inner edge and an outer edge. One of the inner edge and the outer edge of the resilient member is operably coupled to the first side of the piezoelectric member. A lens is operably coupled to the other of the inner edge and the outer edge of the resilient member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A lens cleaning device comprising: a piezoelectric member having a first side, a second side, and a central aperture, the piezoelectric member being operably coupled to a power source and operable to vibrate upon activation of the power source; a resilient member having an inner edge and an outer edge, wherein one of the inner edge and the outer edge of the resilient member is operably coupled to the first side of the piezoelectric member; and a lens ope…
