  • Patent number: 10982556
    Abstract: An application jig is used when an erosion shield member is applied to a rotor blade member. The application jig includes a body section disposed on a back side of the rotor blade member; a first pressing section provided in the body section and pressing an erosion shield member to be placed at a leading edge of the rotor blade member from the back side; a second pressing section supported by the body section and pressing a trailing edge of the rotor blade member from the back side; and a third pressing section supported by the body section. The third pressing section is disposed to bypass the trailing edge from the back side to a belly side thereof, is pivotable around a pivot shaft provided in the body section, and presses a portion between the leading and trailing edges in a pivoting direction from the belly side.
