First Claim
1. A lens-casting-mold assembling apparatus characterized by accommodating in one dust-proof room:
- a concave-mold first cleaning device in which, while a concave mold having a convex-surface forming surface for a lens is being rotated, the convex-surface forming surface is abraded by an elastic abrasion member with an abradant interposed therebetween;
a concave-mold second cleaning device in which, while the concave mold is being rotated, the convex-surface forming surface is cleaned by an elastic abrasion member with water interposed therebetween;
a concave-mold drying device in which, while the concave mold is being rotated, the convex-surface forming surface is dried by supplying a volatile liquid thereto;
a convex-mold first cleaning device in which, while a convex mold having a concave-surface forming surface for the lens is being rotated, the concave-surface forming surface is abraded by an elastic abrasion member with an abradant interposed therebetween;
a convex-mold second cleaning device in which, while the convex mold is being rotated, the concave-surface forming surface is cleaned by an elastic abrasion member with water interposed therebetween;
a convex-mold drying device in which, while the convex mold is being rotated, the concave-surface forming surface is dried by supplying a volatile liquid thereto;
an inversion device which inverts the concave mold or the convex mold up or down;
a positioning device which brings geometric centers of the concave mold and the convex mold into coincidence, and which arranges the concave and convex molds in opposition with a predetermined distance spaced between the convex-surface forming surface and the concave-surface forming surface; and
a tape winding device which winds an adhesive tape onto peripheral surfaces of the positioned concave and convex molds, thereby to seal a gap between these molds.

Abstract
An apparatus is constructed by accommodating in one dust-proof room 11, a concave-mold first cleaning device 21 which abrades the convex-surface forming surface 101 of a concave mold 1, a concave-mold second cleaning device 22, a concave-mold drying device 23, a convex-mold first cleaning device 24 which abrades a concave-surface forming surface for a lens, a convex-mold second cleaning device 25, a convex-mold drying device 26, an inversion device 30 which inverts the concave mold 1 or a convex mold 2 up or down, a positioning device 50 which brings the geometric centers of the concave mold 1 and the convex mold 2 into coincidence and then arranges them in opposition, and a tape winding device 60 which winds an adhesive tape onto the peripheral surfaces of the concave mold 1 and convex mold 2 so as to seal the gap between these molds, thereby to provide the lens-casting-mold assembling apparatus which can efficiently assemble a lens-casting-mold assembly, and which saves space.
