- the manufacturer's initial stamp, affixed to the face is used
- o convex to index the ophthalmic lens.
- the ophthalmic glass is washed and can then undergo several treatments such as curing, anti-glare, etc.
- the initial buffering must then be erased.
- the ophthalmic lens must be buffered again.
- a pattern 1 is affixed to the ophthalmic lens 2.

- the dashed circle 4 corresponds to the position of the inkwell at rest.
- a pattern 1 is constituted by a first portion 5 corresponding to the near vision and a second portion 6 corresponding to the distance vision.
- the first part 5 of the pattern 1 often has a simple circle and the letter L or the letter R to indicate respectively o the left or right side of the ophthalmic lens.
- the second portion 6 of the pattern 1 often has several elements, for example, the center line, a centering cross corresponding to the iris of the eye, an arc of a circle, a laboratory logo, etc.
- the decentering 7 of the first part 5 with respect to the second part 6 may take different values for different progressive ophthalmic lenses, which necessitates the use of different patterns 1a and 1b respectively having different decentrations 7, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the shifting 7a between the first part 5a and the second part 6a of the pattern may take different values for different progressive ophthalmic lenses, which necessitates the use of different patterns 1a and 1b respectively having different decentrations 7, as shown in FIG. 2.
- An optician who receives ophthalmic lenses uses buffering to index the ophthalmic lens and be trimmed depending on the form of the "5 mount. Once the ophthalmic lens cut and mounted, the stamping is erased with alcohol.
- the object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks and, more particularly, to provide a buffering device which makes it possible to affix a multitude of different patterns.

- the buffering surface 8 has a first buffer zone 9 and a second buffer zone 10 adjacent the first zone.
- the buffering zones 9 and 10 are respectively intended to form on the ophthalmic lens 2, that is to say substantially in the same plane, the first 5 and second 6 parts of the buffering pattern 1, as described below.
- the second zone 10 protrudes with respect to the first zone 9 along the buffer axis A-A.
- the second zone 10 is made of a compressible material, for example silicone or resin, so as to allow simultaneous laying by compression of the second zone 10, the first (9) and second (10) zones on the ophthalmic lens 2. To affix the pattern 1 on the glass 2, the second zone 10 is then compressed until the first zone 9 The material of the second zone 10 is thus substantially compressed along the buffer axis AA. In order to avoid deformations of the first zone 9, the first and second zones 9 and 10 are preferably separated by a groove 11, as shown in FIG.
- IO second zones 9 and 10 are made of different materials.
- the material of the second zone 10 is in particular more compressible than the material of the first zone 9. Indeed, the material of the first zone 9 is not necessarily compressible and may be harder than the material of the second zone 10.
- the first 9 and second 10 zones are preferably
- the base can be made, as shown in Figure 4, by the same material as the first area 9.
- the base can be made, as shown in Figure 4, by the same material as the first area 9.
- the second zone 10 may be rounded and the first zone 9 may comprise a tip 12.
- the buffering surface 8 comprises a third zone 13 projecting from the first and second zones 9 and 10 along the buffering axis AA and corresponding to a third part of the pattern 1. to be dabbed.
- the material of the third zone is sufficiently flexible to be compressed so that the first zone 9 comes into contact with the plate support 3 or the ophthalmic lens 2.
- a device for buffering ophthalmic lenses according to the invention comprises one or more inking units each comprising at least one plate holder 3 engraved with specific grooves and at least one inkwell 14 filled with ink displaceable on the plate support 3. as shown in Figure 6.
- the device shown in FIG. 6 also comprises a set of actuators 15 for moving the buffer in three degrees of freedom, corresponding to an axis Z parallel to the buffering axis AA and to two axes X and Y perpendicular to the Z axis and perpendicular to each other, so as to move the buffer in a plane perpendicular to the buffer axis AA. It is also possible to move the support 3 of the plate relative to the buffer.
- FIGS 6 to 10 illustrate a particular embodiment of a buffering method using a buffering device according to the invention.
- the process comprises two distinct ink picking steps corresponding respectively to the first and second zones 9 and 10 of the buffering surface.
- the buffer is approached to the support 3 of the image.
- the first zone 9 comes into contact with a first inked etching, that is to say
- the second zone 10 is then compressed on the plate support 3 (FIG. 7) at a location without ink. Thus, the second zone 10 does not take ink, when the first ink is taken. s
- a buffering step is performed, during which the first and second buffering zones 9 and 10 come into contact with the ophthalmic lens 2 along the buffering axis AA to simultaneously affix first and second parts 5 and 6 of the pattern 1 of buffering on the ophthalmic lens 2, as shown in FIG.
- the displacement of the buffer (FIG. 8) between the first ink intake (FIG. 7) and the second ink intake (FIG. 9) comprises the offset between the first and second engravings on the plate support 3 or the difference between a first etching disposed on a first support 3 of a snapshot and a second etching arranged on another support plate.
- the displacement of the buffer between the first and second ink intakes has a variable shift 7 between the first and second parts 5 and 6 of the pattern 1 to be stamped.
- the first (5) and second (6) parts of the pattern 1 are generally shifted along the X axis and along the Y axis corresponding to the plane in which the ophthalmic lens is placed. Decentering 7 may differ from one ophthalmic lens to another, that is to say from one person to another.
- variable shifting 7 between the first portion 5 and the second portion 6 of the pattern 1 buffered on the lens 2 can be adjusted via the moving step (FIG. first and second ink catch.
- the displacement is effected via the set of actuators 15.
- the spatial resolution of the actuators is typically of the order of 0.05 mm, which is sufficient to adjust the variable shifting 7.
- the plate support 3 shown in FIG. 12 comprises a first etching 17 corresponding to the first part 5 of the stamping pattern 1 and a plurality of second etchings 18 (18a, 18b, 18d) respectively corresponding to second parts 6 of the pattern 1 of buffering.
- first part 5 of the pattern 1 is identical, while the second part 6 of the pattern may vary from an ophthalmic lens 2 to another.
- a single first etching 17 is then sufficient, in most cases.
- the plate support 3 preferably comprises, as shown in FIG. 12, a blank surface 19 disposed next to the first etching 17.
- the second zone 10 is compressed on the location 19 having no etching, which ensures that the second zone 10 does not take ink.
- the second ink intake is performed on one of the locations 21 (21a, 21b, ..., 21d), the first zone 9 remaining away from the support 3 snapshot.
- the dashed circle 23 corresponds to the position of the ink fountain when the ink is taken.
- the ink picks of the first and second zones 9 and 10 are distinct, they can be made on different plate supports 3, using, for example, inks of different colors.
- the buffer comprises a third zone 13, in addition to the first and second zones 9 and 10, it is conceivable to carry out the first and second ink intakes on a first support 3 and a third image of ink on a second support of snapshot with a different ink.
- the second snapshot support can, by
- the first plate support 3 is, for example, made in the form of a steel or ceramic plate having a thickness of 10 mm.
- the second cliche support may have a thickness less than that of the first support, for example a thickness of 0.4 mm.
- the ink preferably contains a retarder, for example a solvent, which makes it possible to adapt the composition of the ink to the time interval between the first ink uptake and the buffering step and, in particular, avoid that the ink is too dry at the time of stamping.
- a retarder for example a solvent
- the buffer according to the invention makes it possible to perform several separate ink picks as well as a single simultaneous ink pick-up step for the first and second zones.
- the invention applies to any type of ophthalmic lens requiring the marking of several patterns or of several parts of the pattern, in particular to progressive ophthalmic lenses allowing a near vision and a distance vision, as well as to lenses allowing near vision and intermediate vision, for example with regressive lenses.
