Patent number: 10514099Abstract: An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily remove a carrier film when removing the carrier film from a gasket body in a carrier-film-equipped gasket, which includes a combination of a rubber-only type gasket body and a resinous carrier film that retains the gasket body, even if the gasket body is adhered to the carrier film. To fulfill the object, a step for peeling, against an adhesive force, the carrier film from the gasket body in a state in which the gasket body is fixed to a base, is carried out. As a preliminary step of the peeling step, the gasket body is pressed from the carrier film side by a pressing device thereby to decrease the adhesion area between the gasket body and the carrier film, and the peeling step is carried out in a state in which the adhesion area has been decreased.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: NOK CORPORATIONInventors: Takuro Nishimura, Hajime Yui, Kenichi Oba

Publication number: 20090127736Abstract: A casting film is formed by releasing a casting dope onto a moving circumferential surface. The casting film is cooled to obtain self supporting property. A peel roller peels the casting film as a primary wet film and sends the primary wet film to a transfer section. Through the transfer section and the like, the primary wet film is guided to a first drying chamber where a wet gas containing water vapor is blown onto the primary wet film. Water molecules are absorbed in the primary wet film. Absorption of the water molecules in the primary wet film promotes diffusion of the constituent compounds contained in the primary wet film, which facilitates release of constituent compounds.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2008Publication date: May 21, 2009Inventors: Takuro NISHIMURA, Hidekazu Yamazaki
