ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a contact lens sterilizing device (10,54,118) which chemically disinfects contact lenses (L) in a cell (20,64,134) containing antimicrobial solution (42,104,144) and which subsequently transfers the lenses (L) to a storage cell (22,66,136) containing storage solution (44,106,146). Momentum generated as the striker arm (6) of a mechanical timer (2) snaps from a first position to a second position is utilized to propel a cage (C,70,140) holding the contact lenses (L) from the sterilizing cell (20,64,134) to the storage cell (22,66,136), thereby effecting the transfer operation. In one embodiment (10) of the present invention, the striker arm momentum is indirectly imparted to the contact lens cage (C) via a flipper (28). In other embodiments (54,118) of the present invention, the striker arm momentum is directly imparted to the contact lens cage (70,140) via a hook (72,142) integrally formed on the cage (70,140).
