  • Patent number: 8205655
    Abstract: A vibration welding apparatus vibrates a vibration-side processing member when the vibration-side processing member comes into pressure-contact with a fixing-side processing member, and the vibration-side processing member and the fixing-side processing member are welded. The vibration welding apparatus includes a first clamp unit for clamping the processing member on the vibration side, a second clamp unit for clamping the processing member on the fixing side, a vibration unit for vibrating the first clamp unit, and a release unit for releasing a state in which the first clamp unit clamps the vibration-side processing member. The first clamp unit moves a pressing member with elastic force of an elastic member, and presses the vibration-side processing member to clamp the vibration side processing member, and the release unit is disposed independently of the first clamp unit, and separates the vibration-side processing member pressed under the elastic force of the elastic member.
