摘要

When a groove is provided for letting gas out of a die for molding a material constituting an optical element, a warped shape is sometimes transferred to the lens or other optical element molded from the material. When a through-hole is provided in a hollow body disposed on the outside of the external peripheral surface of the die, the strength of the body is severely reduced. In the present invention, a groove for letting out gas is provided in at least part of the internal peripheral surface of the body facing the die.
