Patent number: 6752581Abstract: This invention relates to a device for removing and transporting articles, such as ophthalmic lens mold sections, or packaging elements from a mold. The invention, in one embodiment includes first, second, and third assemblies; the first of which removes the articles from the molding station at a first location and transports them to a second location; the second assembly receives the articles from the first assembly and transports them to a third location, and the third assembly receives the articles from the second assembly and transports them to a fourth location. A second embodiment includes a flipper assembly disposed between the first and second assemblies, which flipper receives the articles from the first assembly and inverts them before depositing them onto the second assembly. This second embodiment is useful in conjunction with molded articles which are transported to the flipper assembly in an inverted position.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1997Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.Inventors: Victor Lust, Stephen Robert Beaton, Scott Frederick Ansell, Henri Armand Dagobert, Phillip King Parnell, Sr., Craig William Walker, Daniel Tsu-Fang Wang

Patent number: 5770119Abstract: An automated demolding apparatus for reliably and repeatedly mechanically separating contact lens mold portions of a mold assembly without damaging the contact lens formed there between. Before demolding, the second mold portion is irradiated by a laser beam, which is absorbed thereby to cause a substantial temperature gradient between the second mold portion and the contact lens being demolded.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1996Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Vision Products, Inc.Inventors: Craig William Walker, Henri Armand Dagobert

Patent number: 5681138Abstract: Apparatus for removing and transporting ophthalmic lens mold sections from a mold, and generally comprising first, second, and third assemblies. The first assembly removes the lens mold sections from the mold and transports the lens mold sections to a first location, the second assembly receives the lens mold sections from the first assembly and transports the lens mold sections to a second location, and the third assembly receives the lens mold sections from the second assembly and transports the lens mold sections to a third location. Preferably, the first assembly includes a hand to receive the lens mold sections from the mold and to releasably hold the lens mold sections, and a support subassembly connected to the hand to support the hand and to move the hand between the mold and the first location.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 1996Date of Patent: October 28, 1997Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Vision Products, Inc.Inventors: Victor Lust, Stephen Robert Beaton, Henri Armand Dagobert, Phillip King Parnell, Sr., Craig William Walker, Daniel Tsu-Fang Wang
