Patent number: 6960312Abstract: A lens forming apparatus for preparing a plastic eyeglass lens includes a first lens curing unit, a second lens curing unit and a conveyor system for moving mold assemblies between the two units. The apparatus may also include an anneal unit configured to apply heat to a substantially polymerized lens. The apparatus may be used to form an eyeglass lens from a lens forming composition that may include an aromatic containing polyether polyethylenic functional monomer, a photoinitiator, and a coinitiator. The lens forming composition may be cured by the application of activating light or activating light and heat.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2002Date of Patent: November 1, 2005Assignee: Q2100, Inc.Inventors: Galen R. Powers, John T. Foreman, Omar M. Buazza, Stephen C. Luetke, Matthew C. Lattis, Larry H. Joel, John T. Triplett, Loren C. Lossman

Patent number: 6758663Abstract: A high volume lens curing system is described. The high volume lens curing system may be configured to cure multiple eyeglass lenses in a continuous manner. An embodiment of a system may include a lens curing apparatus, a mold assembly and a controller. In some embodiments, the apparatus may include a conveyor system configured to convey the mold assembly through the lens curing units. The controller may include controller software operable to receive an eyeglass prescription, identify the first and second mold members that will produce an eyeglass lens having the eyeglass prescription and/or determine curing conditions.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2001Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: Q2100, Inc.Inventors: John T. Foreman, Galen R. Powers, Matthew C. Lattis, Loren C. Lossman, Larry Joel

Patent number: 6698708Abstract: An annular gasket may be configured to engage a mold set for forming a mold assembly. The gasket includes at least four discrete projections. The projections are preferably arranged upon inner surface such that they are substantially coplanar. The projections may be evenly spaced around the interior surface of the gasket.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2000Date of Patent: March 2, 2004Assignee: Q2100, Inc.Inventors: Galen R. Powers, Larry H. Joel, Loren C. Lossman

Patent number: 6579478Abstract: A progressive lens mold, a method of making a progressive lens mold, and progressive lenses made using such mold or method. Back faces of progressive molds are preferentially tapered at their edges to reduce prism effects in lenses made using such molds. The tapering is accomplished by removing more of the back face adjacent the near portion vision zone of the mold versus the back face adjacent to the far vision zone of the molds.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2001Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: Q2100, Inc.Inventors: Loren C. Lossman, Larry H. Joel, James S. Carr
