Abstract: A method for forming a thin, board-like base material has a tensile transfer step and a forming step. In the tensile transfer step, the long, thin, board-like base material is transferred by pulling the thin, board-like base material in the transfer direction while holding both ends of the thin, board-like base material along the transfer direction and pulling the ends outward in the direction intersecting the transfer direction. In the forming step, predetermined forming operations are performed with respect to the thin, board-like base material.

Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a terminal member that is electrical conductive with a conductive member. The terminal member is formed by working a workpiece having a plate shape with a first surface and a second surface extending from one end toward the other end, by cutting out a recessed portion at the one end from the first surface to the second surface. In this method, the recessed portion is supported by being abutted against a supporting member, and a portion spaced from the recessed portion toward the other end side is fixed, and both side portions along the one end from the recessed portion are bent while being pressed from the first surface toward the second surface side, thereby forming, as a pair of conductive surfaces for conduction with the conductive member, second surface portions facing each other with the supporting member interposed therebetween.

Abstract: An electric connection block is provided with a bus bar formed from a press-formed product of a metal plate member and a resin-made housing insert molded integrally with the bus bar. The bus bar is provided with a flat plate-shaped main plate part and a standing terminal erected by bending a base end connected to a portion of the main plate part relative to the main plate part. The electric connection block is manufactured by insert molding the housing integrally with the bus bar in a before-bending state where the standing terminal is located on the same plane as the main plate part, and bending the base end of the standing terminal to thereby erect the standing terminal relative to the main plate part after the insert molding of the housing.

Abstract: A thin plate-shaped substrate molding device for pressing molding a pre-molded article to a prescribed irregular shape. The thin plate-shaped substrate molding device comprises a first die, a second die, a plurality of tensioning portions and a controller. The first and second dies are movably disposed to be moved towards and away from each other. The second die has protruding portions that protrude towards the first die for forming stretched portions and forming bent portions. The controller controls the first die, the second die and the tensioning portions. The bent portions are tensioned and stretched by the tensioning portions, while the stretched portions of the pre-molded article are still pressed by the first die and the protruding portions of the second die, to impart the shape of the protruding portions to the pre-molded article along the side edges of the protruding portions.
