  • Tool magazine
    Patent number: 10377004
    Abstract: A tool magazine includes a magazine arm and a gripper plate. The magazine arm has a tool pot to hold a tool. The magazine arm is pivotable around a pivotal axis such that the tool pot pivots around the pivotal axis. The gripper plate has at least one gripper to hold the tool at a holding position on a circular arc track along which the tool moves when the magazine arm pivots. The at least one gripper is open in a tangent direction of the circular arc track at the holding position.

  • IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20080012464
    Abstract: In a display in which two substrates are disposed facing each other with the inner pressure reduced, spacers are used to keep the distance between the two substrates. The spacers are fixed to the substrates using a fixing material obtained by hardening a paste-like adhesive. By transferring paste to each of the spacers, drying the paste applied to the spacer, and applying paste to the dried paste, the amount of paste to be attached to the spacer can be controlled.

  • Image display device
    Publication number: 20060220522
    Abstract: By forming chamfered portions on corner portions of a spacer, a contact area between the spacer and a fixing material is enlarged. Side surfaces of the spacer including the chamfered portions are embedded into the inside of the fixing material and hence, an adhesion area of the spacer with the fixing material is enlarged thus enhancing an adhesion strength. As a result, a fixing strength of the spacers which hold a space between a back panel and a face panel in vacuum is enhanced.
