ABSTRACT:
Coating of the convex side of an optical lens for blocking purposes by spinning the lens about its vertical axis and dipping its downwardly facing convex side in a liquid coating material, stopping the rotation of the lens and upwardly withdrawing the lens above the level of the coating material, and spinning the upwardly withdrawn lens to spread the coating material by centrifugal force as a uniformly thin film over the convex side and to drive the film sufficiently for handling.
To facilitate the lens coating operation, the lens is held on its upper concave side by a suction cup having the upper end of its vibration damping stem chucked in the drive shaft of a hand held motor housing. To further facilitate the lens coating operation despite leakage between the suction cup and the lens, the drive shaft has a passage therethrough communicating with a passage from the suction side of the suction cup through the stem and with a flexible suction tube leading to the suction port of a power vacuum motor.
