Bore support assembly and a method of laser construction
This patent describes a bore support assembly for use in a laser. It comprises: a joiner ring having radially spaced outer and inner peripheries, the outer periphery being capable of rigid attachment to an outer envelope of a laser at the interior thereof. The inner periphery defining a first central opening of a first size adapting the ring to receive an inner bore tube of the laser therethrough; and a spider structure positioned on one side of the joiner ring and extending generally along the central opening thereof. The spider structure having an outer peripheral portion rigidly attached to the inner periphery of the joiner ring, an inner peripheral portion spaced radially inwardly from the outer peripheral portion and defining a second central opening of a second size smaller than the first size of the first central opening of the joiner ring and adapting the inner peripheral portion of the spider structure to receive the bore tube of the laser therethrough and be rigidly interconnected therewith, and a plurality of flexible members extending radially between and interconnecting the outer and inner peripheral portions of the spider structure.
