DEVICE PROVIDED WITH PIVOTABLE SUPPORTS FOR MOULDING AN OPTICAL LENS, IN PARTICULAR AN OPHTHALMIC LENS

摘要

The inventive device comprises a first shell holder (6) for fixing a first shell (12), a second shell holder (27) for fixing a second shell (29), a first support (1) on which said first shell holder (6) is mounted and a second support (2) on which the second shell holder (27) is mounted, the first (1) and second (2) supports being pivotable with respect to each other. When the first (1) and second (2) supports are in a first relative position thereof they are arranged oppositely to each other, thereby bringing the first (12) and second (29) shells into a predetermined relative moulding position thereof. When the first (12) and second (29) shells are brought into the second relative position thereof, the first (1) and second (2) supports are removed from each other by pivoting motion.
