Abstract:
1. A method for transporting contact lenses through dipping baths, comprising the steps of individually accommodating contact lenses in respective containers which are capable of enabling a flow of one or more treatment fluids into and out of the container, holding the containers in carriers, advancing the containers through the dipping baths, subjecting the carriers for the containers to a reciprocating lowering and raising motion along the transport through the dipping baths, wherein the reciprocating lowering and raising motion is performed more than once in each dipping bath, and wherein a portion of each container which accommodates a contact lens remains immersed in the treatment fluid contained in each dipping bath during the reciprocating lowering and raising motions and while the container held by the carrier is transported through the dipping baths from a starting end to a leaving end thereof; and wherein a translational and vertical movement of the carriers is controlled such, that a path of the containers, within each of the baths, follows approximately a sinus curve.
