Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the lens wall thin on molding, by forming a plurality of bulges of a specific total weight on the outer periphery of lens steps of long sideways rectangles, then removing the bulges, resulting in improved flow of melted glass at the lens step part. CONSTITUTION:Melted glass is introduced into a mold to form the lens step part 1 at 1:2 or more height/width ratio from the front and the peripherals 2 integrally. At the same time, 2 or more bulges 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, are formed outside the periphery of the step part so that the total weight of the bulges becomes about 5-15wt.% based on the lens. Then, the bulges are removed to give the subject lens for automobile lights. Thus, the step part can be made thin, the total weight of the lens becomes light and the life of the mold is prolonged.

<Prior art> When molding this type of lens using a glass material, unless the wall thickness of the lens step forming part is made thicker to a certain extent, flow (flow of molten glass) will be poor and the lens step forming part will be There are many defects where the wall thickness is partially insufficient. For this reason, in conventional manufacturing methods, the thickness of the lens step forming part must be made thick (approximately 5 to 6 m), which increases the weight of the entire lens, making it difficult to reduce the weight. As the temperature of the glass increases, the mold cavity surface deteriorates significantly, resulting in a shortened mold life.

As in the past, the lens Δ is formed by molding the lens step forming portion 1 and the peripheral edge portion 2, which have a substantially horizontal rectangular shape from the front of a required size, into one body using a mold using a glass material. The ratio of the vertical length Ll and the horizontal length L2 of the portion 1 is set to be 1:2 or more. A required lens step 3 is integrally formed on the inner surface of the lens step forming portion 1, and two or more protruding portions 4a, 4b are formed on the outer edge.
