  • Patent number: 10259032
    Abstract: Metal foil base material placed on lower blade is first restricted under pressure by lower blade and pad and then cut by a shearing action based on an engagement of lower blade side cutting edge and upper blade side cutting edge. Resin face sheets are fixed to the top surface of lower blade and the pressing surface of pad, the face sheets having a larger friction coefficient than that of these surfaces. By frictional forces imparted by face sheets, metal foil base material is prevented from being dragged and moved by the pressing force of the upper blade prior to cutting. Consequently, the occurrence of “burr”, “roll-up”, and so forth is eliminated thereby ensuring a good cutting quality.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9387993
    Abstract: To provide a conveyor apparatus that is capable of performing an operation of a bagged electrode with the bagged electrode being in a non-expanding state. A conveyor apparatus 1 conveys a bagged electrode 100 that is formed by sandwiching an electrode 110 by a pair of separators 120, 130 and by partly welding an outer circumference of the pair of separators 120, 130. The conveyor apparatus 1 has a conveyor unit 10, an operating unit and an air-blowing unit 20. The conveyor unit 10 conveys the bagged electrode 100 while holding the bagged electrode 100. The operating unit performs an operation of the exposed bagged electrode 100 at a part of a conveyor line of the conveyor unit 10. The air-blowing unit 20 blows toward a surface that is an opposite side to a held surface of the bagged electrode 100.

The conveyor apparatus 1 has a conveyor unit 10, an operating unit and an air-blowing unit 20. The conveyor unit 10 conveys the bagged electrode 100 while holding the hagged electrode 100. The operating unit performs an operation of the exposed bagged electrode 100 at a part of a conveyor line of the conveyor unit 10. The air-blowing unit 20 blows toward a surface that is an opposite side to a held surface of the bagged electrode 100.
