Patent number: 9878473Abstract: A method for manufacturing a contact lens having a multilayer structure using a mold, includes: (a) charging a first polymerizing composition into a space formed by combining a first mold with a second mold, and polymerizing a first semi product having a thinner thickness and a smaller outer diameter than those of a contact lens immediately before being removed from the molds after all polymerizing processes; (b) opening the first and second molds; and (c) charging a second polymerizing composition into a space formed by combining a third mold with one of the first and second mold, the first semi product fixed onto the one of the first and second molds, and polymerizing the second polymerizing composition.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2013Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: MENICON NECT CO., LTDInventor: Yasuhiko Katou

Patent number: 8740017Abstract: A dispenser used when attached to an opening of a squeeze bottle discharge a content liquid when inverted. The dispenser has a first channel to discharge a straight forward-moving liquid and a second channel to discharge a foaming liquid. The first channel has a first through channel connecting a first inlet for the content liquid to a first outlet. The second channel has a conduit that has an opening at an inner bottom of the bottle, extends to a foaming chamber, serves as an air supply channel, and has an inner diameter; the foaming chamber is connected to the conduit and mixes the content liquid with air to foam the content liquid; and a second through channel connecting the foaming chamber to a second outlet.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2011Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Menicon Nect Co., Ltd.Inventors: Miduho Shibata, Tomio Nagao

Patent number: 8101701Abstract: Fumaric acid derivatives and ophthalmic lenses using them are disclosed. More specifically, a fumaric acid derivative having a hydrophilic group and a silicon-containing alkyl group within a molecule, and contact lenses or intraocular lenses using the same are disclosed. The fumaric acid derivatives of the present invention provide, on one hand, superior oxygen permeability by having a silicon-containing alkyl group within the molecular structure, and on the other hand, improved compatibility with other hydrophilic monomers by having a hydrophilic group within the same molecule. When ophthalmic lenses obtained by polymerizing monomer compositions containing the fumaric acid derivative are constructed as, for example, water content lenses, lenses with high oxygen permeability independent from the water content may be obtained, wherein the fumaric acid derivatives is superior in compatibility with the hydrophilic monomer used in combination and allows the combination in various mixing ratios.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2007Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignees: Menicon Nect Co., Ltd., Mie UniversityInventors: Takahito Itoh, Takahiro Uno, Masato Ohnishi, Yasuyuki Kato, Takashi Otsu
