Patent ID: 8464409

Claim:
A shaper machine for shaping an ophthalmic lens ( 100 ) for eyeglasses, the machine comprising: means ( 12 , 13 ) for supporting the lens ( 100 ) for driven rotation about a first axis of rotation (A 3 ), the rotation of the lens being driven by first drive means ( 14 ); a tool-carrier ( 20 ) mounted to turn about a second axis of rotation (A 20 ), the rotation of the tool-carrier ( 20 ) being driven by second drive means; a plurality of working tools ( 21 , 22 , 23 ) mounted on the tool-carrier ( 20 ) to rotate about respective tool axes (A 21 , A 22 , A 23 ), at least two of the tools comprising tools ( 21 , 22 ) for shaping the periphery of the lens and having distinct tool axes (A 21 , A 22 ) of rotation; and third drive means for driving relative spacing movements between the first axis of rotation (A 3 ) and the second axis of rotation (A 20 ); wherein the machine includes swivel means ( 29 30 , 31 ) enabling the tool-carrier ( 20 ) to pivot relative to the first axis of rotation (A 3 ) about a third axis of rotation (A 0 ) that extends substantially transversely relative to the first axis of rotation (A 3 ).
