Definitions

  • Lens surfacing pads with particular reference to disposable pads of foraminous material which are readily conformable and releasably attachable to lens surfacing tools.
  • Disposable foraminous lens surfacing pads of wire mesh, woven fibrous material or perforated sheet metal and other perforate materials which are generally readily conformable to curved working surfaces of conventional lens surfacing tools have, heretofore, been detachably applied to such tools with mechanical clamps or adhesives, the latter usually being in the form of a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive attached to one side of the foraminous pad.
  • US. Pat. Nos. 2,886,923 and 3,225,497 are exemplary.
  • the present invention contemplates the use of a tough, puncture resistant continuous or imperforate film on one side only of the foraminous pads for receiving the adhesive.
  • the film is applied with a non-hazardous laminating operation requiring no post curing or aging.
  • the opposite working sides of the pads are left bare for direct surface engagement with lenses to be abraded.
  • suitable conventional abrasive slurries are applied thereto in lens surfacing operations such are shown and dcscribed in US. Pat. Nos. 2.886.923 and 3,225,497.
  • the present invention offers the advantages of a fully exposed uncoated bare foraminous abradin g surface, adhesive attachment means and protection against interference of the adhesive with lens surfacing operations. Still further. the present invention avoids prior art hazards, tedious and expensive operations in the manufacture of the pads and the prior art necessity for large inventoriesrcsulting from curing and aging cycles having to last several weeks before readiness for sale and use of the pads.
  • Foraminous surfacing pads are produced according to the present invention from a sheet of woven wire. woven synthetic fibers or perforate sheet metal, plastic or other material by laminating to one side of the selected foraminous sheet material a thin film of a thermoplastic resin, e.g., of a type derived from polyethylene. which has a high resistance to abrasion and puncture.
  • the film is applied with a simple time-temperature-pressure cycle eliminating prior art hazardous manufacturing operations and lengthy curing cycles.
  • An adhesive preferably a double-faced pressure sensitive tape, is applied to the laminate for attaching pads cut therefrom to lens surfacing tools.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a lens surfacing pad exemplifying a preferred embodiment of the present invention, portions of the pad being broken away to more clearly illustrate its structure;
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of a lens surfacing tool having a surfacing pad of the type shown in FIG. 1 applied thereto as 21 facing for its working surface;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view of the lens surfacing tool of FIG. 2 showing a portion of a lens in abrading relationship therewith;
  • FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic illustration, partially in cross-section, of an apparatus and method used in the manufacture of lens surfacing pads acccording to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view of lens surfacing pad material of the type formed according to the invention.
  • Pad 10 which is intended for use as a facing for lens surfacing tools, e.g., tool 12 (FIGS. 2 and 3), comprises a laminate of a foraminous sheet 14 of woven wire. woven fibers or perforate sheet material having a thin film 16 of a thermoplastic resin affixed to its inner side and an adhesive 18, e.g., double-faced pressure sensitive tape, applied to film 16 for use in detachably securing pad 10 to tool 12. During storage. adhesive 18 is protected by a strip-off covering 20.
  • a preferred construction would comprise a foraminous sheet 14 of galvanized soft steel wire screening having approximately 30 X 30 strands per inch and a wire size of approximately 0.007 inch; a 0.002 to 0.004 inch thick film 16 of a thermoplastic resin derived from polyethylene such as. for example, the highly abrasion and puncture resistant commercially available film material currently known as Surlyn. a proprietary name applied by E. I. DuPont Dc Nemours and Co. one.) to'the film' material; an adhesive 18 of double-faced pressure sensitive tape: and a strip-off protective cover 20 of paper or a thin plastic material preferably having a glazed or release coated surface for ease of removal from adhesive 18.
  • foraminous sheet 14 may be formed of'w'ovenrhard plastic or natural fibers, perforated aluminum foil or other metallic andplastic sheet materi'als ofva'rious thicknesses.
  • pad 14 With protective covering 20 stripped away from pad 14, it is applied as a facing for tool 12 simply by press-' ing adhesive 18 against the working surface 22 of tool 12 (FIG. 3). In so doing, and with additional pressure applied to the pad 14 by a lens L being surfaced by tool 12 (FIG. 3), pad 14 will assume the curved shape of 1 surface 22 whether convex (as illustrated) or concave- (not illustrated).
  • Pad 14 is fabricated as follows:
  • a sheet 14' (FIG. 4) of a particular preselected type of foraminous material is placed flatly upona platen 28 and covered by a film 16' of the aforementioned 0.002 to 0.004 inch thickness of thermoplastic resin.
  • a pressure plate 30 is theii brought into place flatly against film 16' and pressure is applied to plate 30 uniformly over the extent of its coverage of film 16 while the film is heated by plate 30, e1g., with electrical heating coils 32 therewithin, for a period of time sufficient to attach film 16 to sheet 14' as a laminate.
  • An exemplary time-temperature-pressure cycle is approximately 1 minute at approximately 275 F witha pressure of approximately 4,000 pounds per square inch.
  • a protective barrier such as a silicone coated release paper 17. should be placed between a platen 30 and film l6.
  • a layer 18' of adhesive material e.g., a double-faced pressure sensitive tape having one side protected with a cover sheet 20 (FIG. '5) is applied to film 16.
  • Pads 14 of the circular shape illustrated in FIG. 1 or of other desired shapes aiid sizes are then punched or otherwise cut from the completed laminate l and are immediately ready for use.
  • a disposable lens surfacing pad comprising the laminate of:
  • a layer of adhesive on said film for detachably securing said pad to said rigid lens surfacing tool as a tool facing; whereby said film component of said laminate prevents the material of said adhesive from penetrating said sheet of foraminous material and contaminating a lens placed thereagainst under pressure for surfacing by said tool.
  • a lens surfacing tool comprising:
  • a rigid main bodyadaptable to lens surfacing machines one side of said body having a surfacecurvature substantially corresponding to a curvature desired to be produced upon a lens intended to be worked by said tool;
  • adisposablelens surfacing pad detachably secured to said surface of said tool as a facing
  • said pad comprising the laminate of a sheet of foraminous material, a thin, imperforate film of highly abrasive and puncture resistant material heat sealed to one side only of said sheet of foraminous material, the opposite side of said. sheet being fully exposed for direct contact with a lens to be surfaced and a layer of adhesive on said film fordetachably securing said pad to said surface of said tool as a tool facing whereby said film component of said laminate prevents the material of said adhesive from penetrating said sheet of foraminous material and contaminating a lens placed thereagainst under pressure for surfacing by said tool.
  • a lens surfacing tool according to claim 9 wherein said foraminous material is a perforate sheeting and said film of said highly abrasion and puncture resistant material is a thermoplastic resin.
