Abstract: A die for forming a honeycomb structure is provided with back pores through which a forming material is introduced and slits through which the forming material is extruded into a lattice-like shape, and the die comprises a first plate-like member made of a super hard alloy containing tungsten carbide and a bonding agent and provided with the back pores extending in a thickness direction; and a second plate-like member bonded to the first plate-like member, made of the super hard alloy containing tungsten carbide and the bonding agent, and provided with the slits connected to the back pores, wherein the bonding agent is dispersed in a lesser amount in a bonded part between the first plate-like member and the second plate-like member than in the other part.

Abstract: A method for grinding a number of objects includes a series of steps from arranging the objects to be ground on a grinding jig (a master plate) through removing the ground objects from the grinding jig after completion of the grinding process, smoothly and precisely without damaging a number of the objects to be ground and without altering the arrangement pattern of the objects to be ground from the start through the end of the series of steps.

Abstract: In a molding die machining electrode, slit grooves of a molding die are machined with a slit groove forming part having a substantially circular outer circumference by ranging hexagonal erected wall parts in a row; while the inner circumference of a slit groove forming part overlaps with the erected wall parts in the outer circumference of the slit groove forming part, the outside slit grooves are machined with the slit groove forming part having a substantially circular outer circumference. The further outside slit grooves are machined with the slit groove forming part of the third electrode. A plurality of the slit groove forming parts are radially divided and overlapping portions between the plurality of the slit groove forming parts are formed substantially coaxially with a molded body. The areas of the slit groove forming parts are designed to nearly similar values, suppressing the difference in wear of the electrodes.

Abstract: A grinding jig set comprising a combination of several jig units and a method for grinding a number of objects are provided. The method comprises a series of steps from arranging the objects to be ground on a grinding jig (a master plate) through removing the ground objects from the grinding jig after completion of grinding process, smoothly and precisely without damaging a number of the objects to be ground and without altering the arrangement pattern of the objects to be ground from the start through the end of the series of steps. The jig set for grinding comprises a set of jig units used for a series of processing from allocation of objects to be ground on a grinding jig through removing the ground objects from the grinding jig after the grinding operation.

Abstract: A cleaning tool has a tray 10 and a cover member 20. The tray has a space for individually accommodating a to-be-cleaned object D. The cover member has a frame 21, and thread-like members 22 and 23. The thread-like members 22 are tensioned to the frame along a first direction so as to form a first plane section that defines the top portion of the space. The thread-like members 23 are tensioned to the frame along a second direction so as to form a second plane section above the first plane section. When the thread-like members 22 are about to vibrate during the cleaning, the thread-like members 22 are about to vibrate during the cleaning, member can relatively freely move in each plane section.
