Subsequently, the subject lens is moved to the cup attaching apparatus, the marked point and a reference scale on the subject lens illuminated by an illuminating means are projected onto a screen, and while observing them, positioning is effected so that the reference scale and the marked point assume a predetermined relationship, and the cup is attached.
  • Numeral 15 denotes the screen plate formed of a semitransparent material (e.g., ground glass), and an image of the lens 5 illuminated by the illuminating light from above as well as an image of the ring index which passed through the lens 5 are projected onto the screen plate 15.
  • the images projected onto the screen plate 15 are imaged from the rear by a CCD camera 17 having an imaging lens through a mirror 16, and are displayed on the monitor 2.
  • the screen plate 15 is movable between a position A in the vicinity of the mounting portion 4 in Fig. 2 and a position B spaced apart a predetermined distance therefrom by means of a screen driving motor 33 (see Fig. 3).
  • a screen driving motor 33 see Fig. 3
  • the screen plate 15 is disposed at the position A so as to minimize the distortion of the projected image due to the refractive power of the lens 5.
  • the screen plate 15 is disposed at the position B spaced apart from the lens 5 so as to facilitate the detection of the displacement of the ring image.
  • Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating a controlling system of the apparatus.
  • An image signal from the CCD 17 is inputted to an image synthesizing circuit 35, and the circuit 35 combines the image signal with characters and marks generated by a display circuit 36 connected to a control unit 30, and displays the same on the monitor 2.
  • the image signal from the CCD 17 is inputted to an image processing circuit 34 as well.
  • the circuit 34 detects the position of the ring image projected onto the screen plate 15 through the lens 5, and inputs the detected signal to the control unit 30.

  • the motor 33 for moving the screen 15
  • a frame-shape measuring device 37 for measuring the shape of an eyeglasses frame the motor 39 for moving the CCD 17, a memory 40 for storing the inputted data and the like, and the switch panel 3.
  • a highlighted cursor 21 is moved by a cursor moving key 3b to select Items to be inputted.
  • the values of the input items can be changed by a "+" "-" key 3c or a ten-key pad 3d, and layout data including FPD (the distance between geometric centers of both eyeglasses frame portions), PD (pupillary distance), and U/D (the height of the optical center with respect to the geometric center of each eyeglasses frame portion) are inputted.
  • an ENTER key 3g is pressed.
  • the control unit 30 causes the screen plate 15 and the CCD 17 to move to the positions B and B', respectively, by operating the motors 33 and 39.
  • the control unit 30 continuously obtains the amount of offset of the position of the optical center from the reference axis L and the axial angle of cylindrical refractive power on the basis of the position detected signal of the ring image detected by the circuit 34. As shown in Fig.
  • the layout data including FPD, PD, and U/D, and the axial angle of astigmatism are entered.
  • the display of the intended lens center 20a is fixed as aligned with the reference axis L, and the reticle 22 and the reticle 23 are displayed at the positions where they are moved on the basis of the inputted layout data.
  • the target 24 which is displayed when the lens 5 is mounted on the mounting portion 4 is aligned with the reticle 22, thereby performing the centering adjustment.
  • the cup 6 is attached. It should be noted that, in this case as well, if the screen plate 15 is moved in advance to the position A before the attachment of the cup 6, it is possible to easily determine the processability by observing the lens image 5' and the intended lens shape (the target lens configuration) 20.
  • Fig. 7 shows an example of the screen at this time, in which reference numeral 50 denotes an image of the eyepoint mark for far use, and numeral 51 denotes an image of the horizontal line mark.
  • the eyepoint mark for far use and the horizontal line mark are clearly displayed by being projected onto the screen plate 15.
  • the screen plate 15 may be moved vertically without steps and may be stopped at such a position that allows the optical center to be determined easily.
  • the index plate 14 is disposed between the light source 10 and the lens 5, the present invention is not limited to the same, and the index plate 14 may be disposed between the lens 5 and the screen plate 15, or the mounting plate 4 may be used to serve as the index plate 14.
  • Fig. 9 is an external view of the apparatus in accordance with the second embodiment of the present invention
  • Fig. 10 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of an optical system in the apparatus.
  • Reference numeral 101 denotes an apparatus main body having substantially U-shaped side surfaces, and an illuminating optical system and an imaging optical system shown in Fig. 10 are disposed therein.
  • a monitor 102 such as a liquid-crystal display is provided on an upper front surface of the main body 101, and a switch panel 103 is provided on a lower front surface. Displayed on the monitor 102 are an image of a subject lens LE which is imaged by a CCD camera, which will be described later, a mark for alignment, a layout screen, and the like.
  • Numeral 105 denotes a screen plate made of semitransparent or translucent material (for instance, frosted or grounded glass).
  • Three lens supporting portions 104 are implanted or projectingly provided on the screen plate 105 at equal angular intervals about a reference axis L so as to place the lens LE thereon.
  • Each of the lens supporting portions 104 has such a length that the lens LE is distanced about 15mm from the screen plate 105 when the lens LE is placed.
  • An index plate 114 on which a prescribed pattern is formed is mounted to the supporting portions 104a so as to be located below the lens LE when the lens LE is placed.
  • the dot images move in a direction toward (or away from) a generating line of the lens LE.
  • the direction of the axis of the cylinder can be similarly detected by examining in which direction the dot images are moving with respect to the coordinate positions of the dot images with the lens LE not mounted.
  • the type of the lens is selected by a TYPE key 103a.
  • a description will be given of cases where the types of the lenses LE to be processed are a unifocal lens, a progressive multifocal lens, and a bifocal lens, respectively.
  • the unifocal lens mode is selected by the TYPE key 103a. Since input items for the layout of the unifocal lens are displayed on the left-hand side of the screen of the monitor 102, a highlighted cursor 121 is moved by a cursor moving key 103b to select items to be inputted. The values of the input items can be changed by a "+" "-" key 103c or a ten-key pad 103d, and layout data including FPD (the distance between geometric centers of both eyeglasses frame portions), PD (pupillary distance), and U/D (the height of the optical center with respect to the geometric center of each eyeglasses frame portion) are inputted. In addition, when the lens LE has cylindrical power, the cursor 121 is moved to the item AXIS, and the axial angle in the prescription is inputted in advance.
  • FPD the distance between geometric centers of both eyeglasses frame portions
  • PD pupillary distance
  • U/D the height of the optical center with respect to the geometric center of each eyeglass
  • That image signal is inputted to the processing unit 134, and the control unit 130 continuously obtains information on the displacement of the optical center from the reference axis L and information on the direction of the cylinder axis on the basis of information on the coordinate positions of dot images of the grid index detected by the processing unit 134.
  • a BLOCK key 103i is turned ON.
  • the control unit 130 drives the motor 131 to rotate the shaft 107a so as to allow the cup 106 mounted in advance on the attaching portion 107 to arrive at the reference axis L.
  • the control unit 130 then drives the motor 132 to lower the cup 106 and allows the lens LE to be sucked by the cup 106.
  • the information on the displacement of the position of the optical center and the information on the axial angle are stored in the memory 140.
  • a switch between the right and left eye lenses is effected by pressing an R/L key 103k to attach the cup for the left eye lens.
  • a job number is inputted in advance by operating a JOB key 103m and the ten-key pad 103d, thereby allowing the lens data stored in the memory 140 to be managed by the job numbers.
  • the stored data is read out by designating a job number, and is inputted to the processing apparatus 138.
  • the processing apparatus 138 it is possible to use the one disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,716,256.
  • the processing apparatus 138 if the job number is inputted by an input section 138b (e.g., a work slip with a bar code attached in correspondence with the job number is read by a bar-code scanner), the lens data corresponding to the job number is read from the cup attaching apparatus body 101, and is inputted.
  • the lens LE is moved so that the center of the mark 125 displayed on the screen is aligned with the center of the reticle 122.
  • the lens LE is moved so that the mark 124 showing the frame center of the eyeglasses frame is aligned with the center of the reticle 122.
  • the alignment of the angle of the cylinder axis is effected by rotating the lens LE such that, in both cases, the numerical value 126a displayed on the screen agrees with the numerical value 126b of the inputted angle thereabove, or the long axis of the mark 125 assumes the same inclination as that of the long axis of the reticle 122.
  • the distance from the center of the upper line of the small lens portion to the bottom side of the lens immediately therebelow (that is to say, the height of the small lens portion) is entered.
  • the display position of the lens shape figure 120 is determined.
