Apparatus for processing a lens
First Claim
1. An apparatus for processing a lens, comprising:
- a waterproof case;
a lens-holding shaft arranged to hold a lens and penetrate the waterproof case, and disposed at least partially in the waterproof case;
a processing device disposed to processes a peripheral portion of the lens, wherein the lens-holding shaft is displacable towards the processing device;
a cooling liquid dispenser disposed to inject cooling liquid towards the lens;
wherein a long hole is formed along a locus of displacement of the lens-holding shaft at a portion of the waterproof case where the lens-holding shaft penetrates the waterproof case;
a flexible sliding shutter connected to the lens-holding shaft and disposed to close the long hole; and
a guide member disposed outside of the long hole to guide the sliding shutter, wherein the guide member is bent in an axial direction of the lens-holding shaft.

Abstract
A lens-holding shaft 41 displaces a lens 1 towards a main rotating tool 50 for processing the peripheral portion of the lens 1. A long hole 115 penetrating a waterproof case 101 is formed in the waterproof case 101 along the locus of displacement of the lens-holding shaft 41 and the lens-holding shaft is inserted through the long hole 115. At the outside of the waterproof case 101 along the long hole 115, a flexible water-resistant sliding shutter 130 is disposed in a manner such that the sliding shutter 130 can be freely displaced. The sliding shutter 130 is connected with the lens-holding shaft 41. A guide member 150 containing the sliding shutter 130 is bent at a position before the main shaft 51.

9. An apparatus for processing a lens, comprising:
-
a waterproof case;
a lens-holding shaft arranged to hold a lens;
a finishing device disposable to chamfer or groove a peripheral portion of the lens;
a measurement device disposed to measure a peripheral shape of the lens, and process a peripheral portion of the lens, wherein the lens-holding shaft is displacable toward the finishing device;
a cooling liquid dispenser disposed to inject cooling liquid towards the lens;
wherein the lens-holding shaft is elevatable and lowerable in a vertical direction;
wherein the measurement device is fixed on an upper face of the waterproof case and supports a pair of measuring devices protruding towards an inside of the waterproof case in a manner such that the measuring device can be displaced along the lens-holding shaft;
wherein the finishing device is disposed on the upper face of the waterproof case and supports rotating tools for processing a peripheral portion of the lens, wherein the rotating tools are displacable between a position vertically above the holding shaft and a prescribed waiting position in a direction intersecting the holding shaft;
a first penetrating hole having a shape of a long hole formed on the upper face of the waterproof case in accordance with a range of displacement of the measuring device along the holding shaft;
a second penetrating hole formed on the upper face of the waterproof case in accordance with a range of displacement of the rotating tools in a direction intersecting the holding shaft; and
one or more shutters, disposed at a side of the rotating tool, and arranged to close the first penetrating hole and the second penetrating holes at an inner periphery of the waterproof case. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
