Apparatus for removing optical element from washing tool

Abstract

An apparatus ( 50 ) for removing a plurality of optical elements includes a plurality of clamping device ( 52 ) and a connecting portion ( 54 ). Each clamping device includes two operating portions ( 56 ). Each operating portion has an end portion ( 58 ) bent outwardly. The connecting portion is attached to an end opposite to the end portion of each of the clamping devices.

1 . An apparatus for removing an optical element from a holding portion of the washing tool, the clamping device comprising two operating portions connecting each other, each operating portion having an end portion, each end portion bent outwardly, the end portion being configured for pressing the holding portion so as to disengage the holding portion from the optical element.  
   
   
       2 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the clamping device is n-shaped.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the clamping device is made of elastic material.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the clamping device is made of stainless steel material.  
   
   
       5 . An apparatus for removing a plurality of optical elements, comprising: 
 a plurality of clamping devices, each clamping device including two operating portions, each operating portion having an end portion bent outwardly; and    a connecting portion attached to an end opposite to the end portion of each of the clamping devices.    
   
   
       6 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the clamping devices are n-shaped.  
   
   
       7 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the clamping devices are made of elastic material.  
   
   
       8 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the clamping devices are made of stainless steel material.  
   
   
       9 . A clamping device for clamping an optical element to be removed from a washing tool, the clamp device comprising: 
 a base;    two legs extending from two sides of the base, each leg having a foot;    wherein the foot is configured for pushing the securing pieces of the washing tool so as to separate the optical element from the washing tool.    
   
   
       10 . The clamping device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the clamping device is n-shaped formed.  
   
   
       11 . The clamping device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the clamping device is made of elastic material.  
   
   
       12 . The clamping device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the clamping device is made of stainless steel material.
