Publication number: 20230405986Abstract: A vacuum-sealing device includes: a first roll; a second roll that contacts the first roll; a first holding member having a first space in which the first roll is held and which has an axis coincident with an axis of the first roll; and a second holding member having a second space in which the second roll is held and which has an axis coincident with an axis of the second roll. The first holding member has an inner circumferential surface that faces the outer circumferential surface of the first roll, and rotation of the first roll and the second roll in correspondence with each other causes a sheet material to pass.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: SINTOKOGIO, LTD.Inventors: Takemasa KONDO, Kyoji FURUKAWA, Keita SUZUKI, Yuki HAGA, Atsushi SUZUKI

Patent number: 9614418Abstract: An electric cylinder includes: an outer cylinder including, on one end side, a fixing section; a rod configured to be capable of expanding and contracting in an axis direction from an opening on the one end side of the outer cylinder; a bearing provided on the other end side end and on the inside of the outer cylinder; a rotating shaft supported by the bearing and driven to rotate; a screw mechanism configured to convert a rotational motion of the rotating shaft into a linear motion of the rod and transmit the linear motion; and a distortion detecting unit provided on the outer circumference of the outer cylinder. The outer cylinder includes at least two or more division members that can be divided and combined. The distortion detecting unit is provided in one division member among the two or more division members.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: SINTOKOGIO, LTD.Inventors: Kyoji Furukawa, Shigeyuki Takagi

Patent number: 9415557Abstract: An electric cylinder system includes: an electric cylinder; and a control section that controls the electric cylinder. The electric cylinder includes: an outer cylinder; a rod configured to be capable of extending and retracting in an axis direction from an opening on one end side of the outer cylinder; a bearing provided on the inside of the outer cylinder; a rotating shaft rotatably supported by the bearing and driven to rotate with driving force of a motor; a screw mechanism that converts a rotary motion of the rotating shaft into a linear motion of the rod and transmits the linear motion; and a load detecting section that detects a load in an axis direction applied to the rod in a position where the load is transmitted from the rod through the screw mechanism. The control section controls the electric cylinder on the basis of a signal from an encoder of the motor and a signal from the load detecting section.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2012Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: SINTOKOGIO, LTD.Inventors: Kyoji Furukawa, Shigeyuki Takagi

Publication number: 20150217529Abstract: To provide a decompressing jig that can apply pressure on a workpiece after a space for accommodating the workpiece is sufficiently decompressed and a method for applying pressure on a workpiece by using the decompressing jig. The decompressing jig 1 is configured by integrating a first member for decompression 10, a second member for decompression 20, a sealing member 30, a first member for preliminary decompression 40, and a second member for preliminary decompression 50. The first member for decompression 10 is formed by spreading a first sheet 12 made of a flexible sheet across a first frame 11. In the first frame 11 a path for suction 15 that is connected to a device for suction via a port for suction 14 and that is connected to a space S for accommodating the workpiece is formed. The first member for preliminary decompression 40 forms a chamber Y for preliminary decompression between it and the first sheet 12 so that the chamber Y can be decompressed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2013Publication date: August 6, 2015Inventors: Masahiko Nagasaka, Shogo Nakajima, Osamu Sugino, Kyoji Furukawa

Patent number: 5742372Abstract: An apparatus is provided for manufacturing liquid-crystal panels with a uniform gap by pressing the entire surface of an empty cell, while any warp or undulation in the empty cell is corrected. The apparatus is characterized by a flat pressure-contacting plate 6 mounted on a horizontally fixed base stand 2, a suction frame 10 disposed movably up and down relative to the base stand 2, the frame 10 having a center opening 12 for accommodating and depressurizing the pressure-contacting plate 6 and an empty cell W, a film 13 for transmitting ultraviolet rays to close the opening 12, and ultraviolet-ray radiation means 17 disposed just above the suction frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1996Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Assignee: Sintokogio, Ltd.Inventor: Kyoji Furukawa

Patent number: 5231923Abstract: A press apparatus for use in manufacture of a liquid crystal panel presses upper and lower glass substrates placed between a pressure-exerting plate and a pressure-receiving plate while a seal located around the glass substrates is being heated and melted. The pressure-exerting plate is supported by a pressure-transmitting plate through three load cells. The pressure-transmitting plate presses the pressure-exerting plate against the pressure-receiving plate through the load cells and thereby presses the glass substrates uniformly. When a difference between the detection values of the load cells exceeds a predetermined value, it is determined that the glass substrates are not being pressed uniformly and the pressing operations thus stopped.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1992Date of Patent: August 3, 1993Assignee: Sintogokio Ltd.Inventors: Kazuhiro Ohta, Shoji Uchimura, Sigeyuki Takagi, Kyoji Furukawa
