Abstract:
A machine for transferring a preformed functional film onto a curved face of an ophthalmic substrate, including: a first device for receiving and holding the substrate; a second device for receiving the film, the first device and/or second device configured to hold the film by applying a pressure force to the periphery thereof; a first mechanism for moving the devices, configured to place the curved face such that it faces the film, a second mechanism for moving the devices, configured to bring into contact the center of the film with the center of the curved face and to apply the film with the substrate to radially spread, from the center of the film up to the periphery thereof, a conformal contact between the film and the curved face; and a control and command unit configured to control at least the second mechanism when the film and the substrate are in contact.

Claim (Index 27):
A method for manufacturing an ophthalmic lens comprising a substrate and a functional film which is preformed and bonded to a curved face of the substrate, the method of manufacture comprising a method for transferring the preformed functional film which is carried out using a transfer machine as claimed in  claim 19 , the transfer method comprising the following steps:\n mounting and holding the substrate in a first predetermined position on a first receiving device of the machine; mounting the preformed functional film in a second predetermined position on a second receiving device of the machine and holding it while applying a predetermined pressure force to an entire perimeter of the functional film due to the first receiving device and/or to the second receiving device; positioning the curved face of the substrate to face the preformed functional film with a first movement mechanism that moves at least one of the first and second receiving devices of the machine, with respective geometric centers of the substrate and of the preformed functional film aligned; bringing the center of the preformed functional film into contact with the center of the curved face of the substrate; and applying the functional film to the ophthalmic substrate in such a way as to spread, radially from the center of the functional film as far as the periphery thereof, conformal contact between the functional film and the curved face of the substrate, using a second movement mechanism of at least one of the first and second receiving devices of the machine; the bringing-into-contact and the application being controlled by a command and control unit of the machine.
