Description of the invention (1)% of invention The present invention relates to a mold for manufacturing contact lenses. The mold of the present invention is particularly suitable for manufacturing glasses with seamless edges. . The method and mold for making contact lenses are well known in the invention. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,540,410, which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses molds and their use in making contact lenses. However, a disadvantage of the conventional spectacle mold is that it is not possible to make a seamless spectacle edge. "Seam," refers to a line or boundary formed by the excess spectacle material. Please refer to the figure. The figure shows a close-up side view of the edge 10 of the eyeglass with a 10 seam 11. The disadvantage of this seam is that the seam may touch Conjunctiva and cause surface roughness, discomfort, or both surface roughness and discomfort. There are still many obstacles in making glasses with seamless edges, including how to achieve a side-to-side pair without the need for post-processing steps. 15Seamless edges with changing geometric shapes on the sides. In addition, the obstacle to making seamless edges is caused by one or two factors of poor coordination and poor positioning of the front and rear mold halves. Finally, it must be cured Previously, the excess exposure material was removed from the glasses, so a mold is needed to overcome the above obstacles to make contact lenses with seamless edges. 20 Brief description of the drawing Figure 1 is a close-up side view of a seam contact lens View; FIG. 2 is a top view of a front mold half of a preferred mold of the present invention; FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view of the mold half along I-I of FIG. 2; FIG. 3 is a front mold half of FIG.

In addition to providing a complementary surface, active or passive, that fits within the surface 112, the surface is formed on the edge of the C-cast glasses—a flat edge, to increase the contact between the front and rear glasses—the wearer's conjunctiva. Surface 117 is in contact with the rear surface 5 around the edge 120 and is pressed on the rear or front mold half during curing but does have 36 ° contact and minimizes tilt or non-parallelism between the front and rear mold half. As shown in FIGS. 3, 3A, 4 and 4A, the rear mold half 103 has separated surfaces 109 and 115 and a generally uniplanar annular flange 105, and a uniplanar 10-shaped bad flange 105 is attached to the convex surface. The 109 axis extends radially outward in one of the planes of the normal direction. The front mold half 102 has a concave surface 11 and is smooth enough to make the contact lens of optically acceptable quality. This concave surface 110 allows the front curve size of the unexpanded glasses to be die-cast into the mold. The rear mold half 103 is defined by a central curved section with an optical quality convex surface 109 and a concave surface 115 of approximately flat 15 rows. The convex surface 109 can make the non-swelled surface curve size of the glasses die-cast and smooth enough to make the surface of the spectacles of optically acceptable quality. The convex surface in of the front mold half 102 and the concave surface 115 of the rear mold half 103 do not need to have a surface suitable for constituting an optical quality surface. One or two mold halves 20 of the present invention may be provided with mold tabs, such as US patents No. 5,540,410. Those skilled in the art understand that the interlocking members and surfaces used by the molds of the present invention may have several configurations. Other examples of interlocking members and interlocking surfaces. The construction is described in Figures 5 to 8. The construction chosen depends on the size of the front and rear mold halves used. This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page} Binding ---------% | Staff of Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by a consumer cooperative 505560 5. Description of the invention (back to 5, two flat surfaces m that are generally continuous in the figure are angled from the surrounding edge 120 on the rear surface upward and outward at an angle of about 120 degrees to about 165 degrees, Extending downward. Surfaces 134, 135, and 136 with complementary shapes to the surfaces 131, 132, and 133 extend from the front surface 5 U1, respectively, to firmly fit the surfaces together. Figure 6 shows another item of interlocking members In the embodiment, the second rear interlocking surface 137 is adjacent to the interlocking surface m, and the second interlocking surface 138 is adjacent to the interlocking surface 112. The surface 137 is preferably spherical and has about less than, greater than, or more It is preferably equal to the radius of curvature of the surface 138. Heads 7 and 8 describe another alternative way of the interlocking member of the present invention. The mold of the present invention can be effectively used for manufacturing by polymerizing a polymerizable material Contact lenses. Preferably, made using the mold of the present invention The formed 1½-shaped glasses are unhydrated glasses, and the glasses can be worn only by being hydrated or expanded by this technique. The front half mold 102 and the rear half mold I5 can be made of any suitable material, including but not limited to glass.

Description of the invention (7 The use of a kind of soft material such as a half mold will make the rear surface = surrounding edge 12G impact or flatten the surrounding edge of the front surface when the mold is pressed. The excess eye 2 material is removed from the cavity 101 on the dividing line of the rear mold half. Alternatively, a rear mold half that is softer than the front mold half may be used, so that the peripheral edge 111 of the front surface 5 impacts on the rear edge 120. All Examples In the design, the front and rear mold halves are designed to allow rapid heat transmission, but are sufficiently rigid to withstand the prying forces that separate the mold during demolding. The mold of the present invention can be used in any method of making contact lenses. However, it is preferred to use the manufacturing method 10 as described in US Patent No. 5,54,41: In general, in the preferred method, it is preferable to place a certain amount of polymerizable ingredients in the front mold 102 by injection. On the concave surface 110. The rear mold half 103 is placed on the polymerizable component, wherein the convex shape of the rear mold half 103 is the concave surface 11 which faces the front mold half 102. Preferably, the volume of the polymerizable component collected is greater than the volume of the cavity 101. Therefore, placing the second 15 branches 103 on the first mold half 102 will cause excess material to flow into the area formed between the flanges of the mold half. The convex surface 109 is preferably more protruding than the concave surface 110: in order to determine the center position.一旦 Once the mold half 103 has been placed on the front mold half 102, it is preferable to press the mold half together with about 1 to about 5 stone forces to apply the line shown by the arrow of force = '20 to the convex One or both of edges 105 and 106. Apply force by any convenient method, including but not limited to using air pressure, mechanical devices such as springs, or a combination. In one embodiment, a flat-shaped deposition nozzle located on the flange or a combination of a conical and flat-shaped nozzle that can be partially fitted into the half 102 or 103 is used.
