Patent number: 6293671Abstract: This invention relates to a method for working an auxiliary spectacle lens to be added to the spectacles in use, in more details, pertaining to a technique for efficiently working such lens that is light in weight and easy to be stably mounted in front of the lenses of the spectacles in use. That is to say, this method comprises the steps of opening a slit of a size on a fringe portion of an unworked auxiliary lens made of synthetic resin by means of a shearing tool and tightly mounting a joint piece with a pigeon-eyed hole opened therein or that provided with bent portions to be suspended onto the lenses of the spectacles in use into said slit. Accordingly, this invention enables even an optical shop of a small scale to deal with such working just by obtaining an unworked auxiliary lens made of synthetic resin, a joint piece and a shearing tool of a simple structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2000Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: Masunaga Optical Mfg.

Patent number: 6094957Abstract: A method is provided for bending a difficult-to-work metallic wire into a complicated profile. A predetermined length of the difficult-to-work metallic wire is prepared. Part of a portion thereof is held by a conductive clamping device. A first conductive pressure member is brought into contact with a first bending work position of the workpiece, while applying a predetermined pressing force thereto, electric power is supplied between the first member and the clamping device via the wire. Thereby, the wire is bent by a predetermined amount, which part of the wire thus bent by the predetermined amount is located on a conductive rod having a circular cross-section. A second conductive pressure member is brought into contact with a second bending work position of the wire, while applying a constant pressing force to the second member, electric power is supplied between the second member and the conductive rod via the wire.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1999Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Masunaga Optical Mfg.
