专利说明:
(5) BUILDING LUm OOPMOBAHi-L4 E, 1 AND PERSONAL one This invention relates to the molding of contact lenses from elastic material. A contact lens must meet three functional conditions. The first corresponds to a large-scale adjustment, which it must ensure, is the role of its central zone. The second corresponds to good adherence, which is the purpose of the application, at least one so-called separation zone, is usually provided for this purpose in its peripheral part around the central zone, and this separation zone should form a wedge-like volume with the eye, facilitating the introduction of a new tear film i at the appropriate eyelash sweep, which is a guarantee of good adaptation The third prerequisite that the contact lens must meet is the convenience of consumption. KOHTAKTF-iblX LIPS in particular, when passing a century on such a lens; the role of the peripheral edge of this lens is to provide comfort through its geometry. 5 Currently, the first and third functional conditions briefly indicated above can be satisfied. For BTopoio, a condition that addresses the completion of good adaptation, 10 problem is not solved. If we are talking about contact lenses of solid material, the implementation of the separation zone in the peripheral part of the concave surface 15 lenses do not pose any particular problems, since they use mechanical processing. This also applies to contact lenses made of elastic material when the material forming it 20 is hydrophilic. These lenses

Claims (3) [1] can be processed in a dry state - scientific research institutes by usual methods of mechanical processing, eg e {lLMi for lenses of hard material; The material known by the name of NEML (gcnp 3 hydroxyethyl methacrylate) is one of the hydrophilic elastic materials that can be processed in a dry state. On the contrary, for contact lenses made of hydrophobic elastic material, such as silicone rubber, processing can be carried out using a means for temporary hardening, centrifuging or cooling them, which are difficult to apply on an industrial scale. For contact lynch and such material, two matrices are molded, one is concave, the other is convex. Closest to the proposed device for the formation of elastic contact lenses, containing a punch having a convex forming surface, a matrix having a concave supporting surface, and placed around their periphery, an annular elastic gasket G3 .. Used in the proposed device, the shank provides a connection between the forming elements in their peripheral part and interacts with the forming elements to form the molding cavity corresponding to the lens being sought. Such a gasket is therefore important, both for the concave surface of the lens and for its convex surface; in section, it has a finger profile of a glove interposed between two circumferences of almost equal diameter, the first belonging to one of the molding elements and the second belonging to the other of the shape of the common elements, and it merges with almost zero thickness tangentially with these molding elements along the indicated respective circles . This arrangement gives satisfactory results, but it has the following disadvantages. First of all, due to the sharp profile required for tangential connection with the forming elements, such an annular gasket is not always easy to perform, and its tangential connection with the forming elements is not always carried out with the required uniformity. In addition, such a gasket with a finger-shaped cross-section of the glove does not allow the area of the research institute to be located, which, due to the outlined considerations, should preferably have contact lenses in the sludge of the peripheral part on the concave surface. Since the separation zone cannot be achieved with this annular gasket, it could be obtained by making an additional cavity in the concave surface of the molding element, at present, especially when it comes to the optically useful zone, there is a great practical difficulty in processing and polishing a convex molding element, a mept having a circular edge in a cavity that corresponds to the intersection of the central zone of the lens being manufactured with its peripheral separation zone. The purpose of the invention is to obtain the peripheral zone of the required profile when forming a flexible lens. The goal is achieved by the fact that in a device for forming elastic contact lenses, comprising a punch with a convex forming surface, a matrix with a concave forming surface and an annular elastic pad placed along their periphery, forming the surface of a pupsop with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the forming surface of the matrix, and a sealing gasket is installed on the punch, forming the missing forming surface of it, and w one of the forming surfaces is made forming the closing polo be a rib, locking oschee} oschuyu form cavity rib formed on the concave surface of the die. Locking the molding cavity edge is made on the forming surface of the gasket. A sealing gasket is fixed on the punch. To improve the centering of the gasket, the latter is made with a skirt, with which it is connected to one of the molding elements. In addition, the punch is made of elastic material and in one piece with a sealing gasket. FIG. 1 shows a device, a longitudinal section; in FIGS. 2-8, variants of the device; Fig. 9 is a contact lens formed by the proposed device, a longitudinal section. A device for forming a contact lens (FIG. 1) contains a punch 1 having a convex forming surface, a matrix 2 having a concave forming surface, the diameter of the forming surface of the punch being smaller than the diameter of the forming surface of the matrix, a sealing gasket 3 which is mounted on the punch 1 and supplements its missing form. On the concave surface of the matrix 2, there is made a cavity-closing rib 4 made on the forming surface of the gasket 3 (FIG. 2). The sealing gasket can be made with a skirt 5 with which it is connected to one of the forming elements of the axon 1 ( Fig, l) or by the matrix 2 (Fig, 3, 4). The execution of the gasket with the skirt improves its centering, which improves the quality of the moldable lens. The punch can be made of an elastic material and in one piece with a sealing gasket (Fig. 4). The forming cavity 6 formed by the forming surfaces of the punch matrix and the sealing gasket provides the configuration of the contact lens 7 (Fig. 9). This lens should rest on the sclera of the eye. For a good renewal of the tear film under lens 7, it is important that the lens has a separation zone 8 entirely from the side of the concave surface in its peripheral part, capable of forming a wedge-shaped volume 9 with the sclera zone of the eye. The separation zone 8 extends between the circumference of the lens's external diameter D. circle B | (FIG. 9). limiting its central optically active zone. The quality of adaptation of the lens, i.e., the ability of the patient to use this lens painlessly, depends on this separation zone, at least in part. The molding surface of the gasket 3 defines the shape of the separation zone 8 and may have a different geometric shape, t, e, may be formed by the forming surface of the gasket belonging to a cone (Fig 5) or torus (Fig 6), or formed by a sequence of such simplest portions geometric surfaces. The use of the same gasket in combination with matrices of different diameters and having different curvatures provides for the formation of lenses of different diameters with different separation zones, the lens diameter being determined by the edge closing the cavity-forming cavity, which has a matrix (Figs. 7 and 1). can be made of synthetic material, such as polyamide or polycarbonate, and a punch and die made of a material that can be polished by machining a metal or glass, for example p Pyrex glass. The device works as follows. The forming cavity of the matrix is filled with the molding material, then the matrix and the punch are brought together to lock the forming cavity with an edge 4. After appropriate exposure, the device is opened and the finished lens is removed. Then the cycle repeats. Using the proposed device will improve the quality of contact lenses. Claim 1.
