Abstract
A chuck assembly particlarly useful to position a lap or lens blank at the end of an oscillatory spindle for opthalmic lens grinding; comprises an opposing pair of jaws, one of which is fixed and the other a loosely hanging plate, laterally and longitudinally tiltable between engage and disengage positions by selective action of a fluid-operated piston having a conic contact head which distally abuts the jaw plate for leveraged closing fulcrumed against a workpiece-adjacent edge, in opposition to resilient means biased to hold the jaw open. |
