  • Patent number: 9981779
    Abstract: A rope fixture 11 fixes a closing rope 12 for binding a bag opening of a flexible container bag 20A as a bag body, and includes a plate-shaped body in which a through-hole and a slit are formed, wherein a through-hole 13 allows the closing rope 12 to pass therethrough and a slit 14 nips and locks the closing rope 12 and has an insertion opening 17 provided at one end located at a lateral side of the plate-shaped body 15 and has a rope locking portion 18 allowing the closing rope 12 to pass therethrough and locks the closing rope 12 provided at the other end.

  • Patent number: 9902563
    Abstract: A conveyor is provided with a supply roll, a corrective holding part and an additional holding part. The supply roll rotatably supports a belt-shaped cell material for an electrode or a separator. The corrective holding part conveys and holds the cell material fed out from the supply roll while bending a first side surface of the cell material that lies against an outer peripheral side of the supply roll into a concave shape. The additional holding part conveys and holds the cell material while bending a second side surface of the cell material into a concave shape. The holding parts include a curved contact surfaces that contact opposite side surface of the cell material. The curved contact surface of the corrective holding part has a radius of curvature that is less than a radius of curvature of the curved contact surface of the additional holding part.

  • Patent number: 9139373
    Abstract: A conveyor is provided with a supply roll, a plurality of movement parts and a first securing device. The supply roll is rotatably arranged and is configured to support a belt-shaped cell material for an electrode or a separator to intermittently feeding out the cell material by rotation of the supply roll. The movement parts are configured to lengthen and shorten a conveying route by conveyably holding the cell material fed out from the supply roll. The first securing device is configured to secure the cell material. The first securing device is provided upstream from the movement parts along a direction in which the cell material is conveyed. The movement parts are further configured to change position so as to shorten the conveying route in a state in which the cell material is secured by the first securing device.
