PCT No. PCT/EP95/04423 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 20, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 20, 1996 PCT Filed Nov. 10, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/15467 PCT Pub. Date May 23, 1996A mechanical fastening system is disclosed in which standard micro-optical elements are initially mounted on respective one-piece frames which in turn may be secured in position on a mounting plate. Each frame has a platform to which at least three legs are flexurally joined along respective hinge axes. In one embodiment, the legs include corresponding spherical segments for point-contact with the mounting plate. In another embodiment, the legs include corresponding foot portions connected by a ball-joint for three-degrees of rotational freedom. The one-piece frames may be efficiently manufactured by laser beam cutting or punching a steel sheet. The proposed fastening system enables uni- or multi-dimensional layouts to be created using automatic placing and fastening technologies.
