  • Publication number: 20100024954
    Abstract: A pasted substrate (24a) is produced by: detecting a half cut site (34) by CCD cameras (72a and 72b) constituting first and second detecting mechanisms (47a and 47b); calculating dislocation amounts (?La and ?Lb) with respect to a reference position for each of photosensitive webs (22a and 22b); driving a rubber roller (80a) according to an arithmetic mean value (?L) of the dislocation amounts (?La and ?Lb) to correct the feed amounts of the photosensitive webs (22a and 22b); then conveying a glass substrate (24) to a space between the rubber rollers (80a and 80b); and pasting the photosensitive webs (22a and 22b) thereto. There are also provided a photosensitive transfer material having a thermoplastic resin layer and a photosensitive resin layer, and in which a melt viscosity ?K of a photosensitive resin layer at 100° C., and a melt viscosity ?Cu of a thermoplastic resin layer at 100° C. satisfy a relationship of ?K/?Cu>2.

  • Patent number: 7534989
    Abstract: A laser beam emitted from a laser diode of each of detectors is applied to a partly cut region of a photosensitive sheet film which is spread toward the detectors by a film bending roller. Part of the laser beam which is reflected from the partly cut region is detected by an amount-of-light sensor. The laser beam that is applied to a surface of the photosensitive sheet film other than the partly cut region is reflected outside of a light-detecting area of the amount-of light sensor, and is not detected by the amount-of-light sensor.

  • Publication number: 20090044900
    Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus has a joining mechanism for bonding a photosensitive web to a glass substrate such that a cushion layer thereof faces the glass substrate, thereby to produce a joined substrate. The manufacturing apparatus also has a cooling mechanism for forcibly cooling the joined substrate with cooling air, a heating mechanism for heating the cushion layer to a temperature in a predetermined temperature range up to a glass transition temperature thereof, and a peeling mechanism for peeling off a base film of the photosensitive web from the heated joined substrate. The cooling mechanism, the heating mechanism, and the peeling mechanism are successively arranged in the direction in which the joined substrate is fed along.

  • Patent number: 7231927
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for recycling plastics which is improved with respect to operation efficiency, operation environment, lowering degradation of plastics, recycling cost and environment load including saving energy. The recycling is made as follows: coarse-crushing used-up plastic products, separating plastic materials from other foreign matters by air blow separation, fine-crushing the separated plastics, washing the fine-crushed plastics by the process using a circulation flow including a spiral flow in which interaction between crushed plastics helps themselves clean without washing agents, dewatering the washed plastics, drying them, removing metallic matters by using metal detector, then feeding them directly without pelletizing to an injection molding machine of which nozzle part is equipped with filter and flow-switching mechanism for cleaning the filter by backwash reverse filtration.

  • Patent number: 7213628
    Abstract: Photosensitive material includes a support, and a photosensitive layer overlaid thereon and containing resin. A photosensitive layer laminator transfers the photosensitive layer from the photosensitive material to a glass substrate. In the photosensitive layer laminator, heat/pressure rollers apply the photosensitive layer to a transfer region on the substrate with heat and pressure. A photosensitive material feeder transports first and second photosensitive materials to the substrate set at the heat/pressure rollers. The first and second photosensitive materials have a width smaller than a width of the transfer region, and are disposed to extend along one another. Furthermore, a tension adjuster adjusts tension applied to the first and second photosensitive materials in an upstream direction from the heat/pressure rollers.

  • Publication number: 20030047506
    Abstract: An injection molding machine includes a nozzle for supplying a melted resin into a mold. In the nozzle, there is a filter for removing foreign materials mixed in the melted resin. The filter has a cylindrically-shaped filter body. In the filter body, many small holes are formed. By supplying the melted resin into the mold, the melted resin passes through the small holes into outside of the filter body. In cleaning the filter, the melted resin flows from the outside into the inside. The small holes each are smaller on the inside than the outside.

  • Patent number: 5427224
    Abstract: An apparatus for conveying and aligning various types of film packages recovered for recycling. A conveyer of the apparatus is constructed by a pair of parallel belts combined to form a V-shaped bearing gutter and driven in the same conveying direction. The film packages are conveyed on the conveyer and are slid downward through an inclined cylindrical tube which rotates about the longitudinal axis and has spiral ridges on the inner periphery. Thereby, the longitudinal direction of the film packages are aligned with the conveying direction. Then a posture discriminator discriminates between the upright posture and the upside-down posture of the film packages on a first conveying path, based on the position of the viewfinder. The film packages having the upright posture are caused to fall headlong from the first conveying path onto a second conveying path, so as to have the upside-down posture on the second conveying path.
