Abstract:
A device for applying pressure sensitive adhesive coated tape smoothly over a major surface of a lens blank. The lens blank is positioned on a lens blank support member in an opening in a tape support member, tape is clamped over the opening, and the tape and lens blank support members are moved relative to each other to bring the tape and surface of the lens blank into even smooth engagement with each other.
