Lens cleaner

Abstract

A lens cleaner includes a fixture, an elongated loading plate, two guide members, an air blowing member, an air evacuating member, and two cleaning members. The loading plate is attached to the fixture and configured for loading a number of lenses thereon. The two guide members are attached to the fixture and parallel to the loading plate. The air blowing member is configured for blowing air. The air evacuating member is configured for evacuating air. The two cleaning members are moveably attached to the two respective guide members. Each cleaning member defines a first inlet coupled to the air blowing member, a first outlet communicating with the first inlet, a second inlet, and a second outlet communicating with the second inlet and coupled to the air evacuating member. The first outlet and the second inlets open toward the loading plate.
