  • Patent number: 6447367
    Abstract: A processing jig comprises: a main body to be fixed to a processing apparatus; a retainer that is long in one direction for retaining a bar as an object long in one direction; four couplers for coupling the retainer to the main body; three load application sections, coupled to the retainer, to each of which a load is applied for deforming the retainer; and three arms for coupling the load application sections to the retainer. The retainer has a beam structure that is bent with an application of external force. A bar fixing section to which the bar is fixed is provided at a lower end of the retainer. Both ends of the retainer are not coupled to the main body but left open.

  • Patent number: 6095895
    Abstract: A processing jig comprises a main body including a material retainer for retaining a magnetic head material at the lower end thereof. The main body has a hole for fixing in its longitudinal mid-section and in a position above the middle along the vertical direction. A bolt is inserted into the hole for fixing the main body to a jig fixing plate of the processing apparatus. The jig is fixed to the processing apparatus with the bolt inserted into the hole only at the one point in the longitudinal mid-section.

  • Patent number: 6050878
    Abstract: A processing jig is provided for deforming an object to be processed that is long in one direction into a complicated shape and processing the object with accuracy. The jig comprises: a main body to be fixed to the processing apparatus; a retainer that is long in one direction for retaining a bar as the object long in one direction; four couplers for coupling the retainer and the main body to each other; three load application sections, coupled to the retainer, to which a load is applied for deforming the retainer; and arms for coupling the load application sections to the retainer. The retainer takes a shape of a narrow and long beam that is bent with an application of external force. The two load application sections on both ends each have three degrees of freedom in two directions orthogonal to each other and a direction of rotation, for example. The load application section in the middle has one degree of freedom in the vertical direction only.
