A lens layout block device comprising a seal feeding device that supplies
an elastic seal to a seal sticking position (A5). The elastic seal is
loaded in a tape loading part in the form of a seal tape covered by a
mount and a protective sheet and wound in a roll shape and fed by driving
a motor. The protective sheet is separated by a protective sheet
separating mechanism. At the seal sticking position (A5), a sensor
detects the leading edge of a positioning hole in the mount and stops the
conveyance of the seal tape after the seal tape is fed from the detection
position for a specified time. The stop position is determined as the
reference sticking position of the elastic seal and a lens holder is
pressed against the elastic seal from above. The mount is pulled down by
the seal separating mechanism to separate the mount from the elastic
seal.
