ABSTRACT:
An eyeglasses frame tracing device used in an eyeglasses lens grinding machine. The eyeglasses frame tracing device of the invention comprises a horizontally movable base portion, a rotary base rotatably supported on the base portion, a shaft including a measuring element at its upper end, the shaft being retained on the rotary base so as to relatively move in the vertical and lateral direction with respect to the rotary base, a light-shielding plate which moves in association with the vertical movement and lateral movement of the measuring element shaft and which has openings to allow a part of light to pass therethrough, and a pair of a light emitting section and a light receiving section which are provided opposite to each other with the light-shielding plate interposed therebetween and which moves integrally with the rotary base. Instead of the light-shielding plate, the device may comprise a light emitting section which moves in association with the vertical movement and the lateral movement of the measuring element shaft, and a light receiving section including an area image sensor, which corresponds to the light emitting section and moves integrally with the rotary base. With such structure, because one detector determines a three-dimensional position of the eyeglasses frame, the device can be reduced in size and a manufacturing cost of the device can be decreased.
