Patent number: 9339864Abstract: A manufacturing method for a screw-threaded bottle-can including the steps of: forming a shoulder part, a pipe part, a tapered part and an aperture-end part above a trunk part; and forming a screw-thread part by an inner mold and an outer mold in which the pipe part is sandwiched therebetween. An outer diameter of the pipe part is formed to an intermediate diameter between a ridge diameter and a bottom diameter of the screw-thread part. The screw-thread part is formed from the tapered part to the pipe part so as to form a screw-starting part at an intermediate position of the tapered part. A height of a first step of a right-hand screw-type protrusion of the inner mold is formed to be lower than a height of a second and subsequent steps in an angle range of 90° circumferentially continuing from the screw-starting part.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: UNIVERSAL CAN CORPORATIONInventor: Masahiro Hosoi

Patent number: 8524536Abstract: Nip rollers 11 and 12 each including a pair of upper and lower rollers are disposed on an upstream side and a downstream side with a portion to be cut of an optical film F located therebetween. In the nip roller 12, a center axis C of the upper roller 12b is displaced relative to a center axis L of the drive roller 12a in a direction away from the portion to be cut. Upon cutting of the polarizing film F, the upper rollers 11b and 12b are simultaneously moved downward, so that a timing at which the downstream nip roller 12 nips the polarizing film F is delayed. Further, the nip roller 12 pulls the polarizing film F in the direction away from the portion to be cut, so that tension is applied to the polarizing film F. In this state, the polarizing film F is cut by a laser device 10.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2008Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignees: Nitto Denko Corporation, Akebono Machine Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kouta Nakai, Junpei Kozasa, Yoshio Takahashi, Masahiro Hosoi

Patent number: 8257638Abstract: A suction table 9 is disposed at a cutting action position for a polarizing film F, and holding blocks 9a and 9b, which are different in height from each other, are disposed in proximity to each other along a transport direction on a surface of the suction table 9 to form a suction groove 14. Nip rollers 11 and 12 are disposed on front and rear sides of the suction table 9 to nip opposed ends of the polarizing film F. Further, the suction table 9 suction-holds the polarizing film F in a state that the polarizing film F is inclined with the suction groove 14 located below a portion to be cut. In this state, a laser device 10 scans the polarizing film F along the suction groove 14 to cut the polarizing film F in a width direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2008Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignees: Nitto Denko Corporation, Akebono Machine Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kouta Nakai, Junpei Kozasa, Masahiro Hosoi
