  • Publication number: 20230409129
    Abstract: An electronic pen cartridge is replaceable with a refill of a stationery ballpoint pen such that the stationery ballpoint pen housing can be reused as the electronic pen housing. The electronic pen cartridge is of a capacitance type and includes a pen tip which is projectable from an opening on one side in an axial direction of the pen housing. Inside the tubular cartridge housing are an electronic circuit including a signal transmission circuit configured to generate a signal to be supplied to a position detection sensor, and a rechargeable power storage device configured to supply a power supply voltage to the electronic circuit. A coil is wound around a portion of the cartridge housing, the portion located at a position where there is room in the pen housing. The power storage device is charged by a current induced in the coil based on an externally supplied magnetic field.

When an upper peeling die (33) and a lower peeling die (34) of the first peeling unit (21) are moved forward, an insulating coating (8) is peeled off from upper and lower surface of a coil conductor wire (2), and a conductive portion (7) is cut from the upper surface and the lower surface of the coil conductor wire (2). The conductive portion (7) is formed to have exposed portions (7a) and recessed portions (7b) cut in a trapezoidal shape. A front peeling die (42) and a rear peeling die (43) of the second peeling unit (22) are moved downward while the recessed portion (7b) is placed on and pressed against a second receiving section (41b) of a cradle (41), which peels off the insulating coating (8) and cuts the conductive portion (7).

  • Patent number: 10778072
    Abstract: A control device moves a split claw (11) holding a projecting portion (4d) of an eighth-layer coil segment (4) in a counterclockwise direction D1. At this time, the control device moves first to third extended blades (13a) to (13c) in an outward direction D3 so that the projecting portion (4d) of the eighth-layer coil segment (4) is bent in the outward direction D3. Then, the control device moves the first to third extended blades (13a) to (13c) in an inward direction D4. Through the above steps, the projecting portion (4d) of the eighth-layer coil segment (4) is bent in the counterclockwise direction D1 while being bent in the outward direction D3. As a result, a return force tending to return in the inward direction D4 is generated by an elastic deformation force.
