Abstract:
A lens holding jig used for immersing a lens (L) in a liquid by holding the lens (L) at at least three positions that are side holding portions (41, 42) for holding both left and right edges of the lens (L), and at a lower-side holding portion (43) for holding the lower edge of the lens (L). The jig is structured such that the side holding portions (41, 42) each have a letter V-shaped holding portion (404) for holding the edge of the lens and have a vertically extending portion (403) extending downward from the V-shaped holding portion (404) along the edge of the lens (L). Further, a lower-side holding portion (1) is structured so as to have a support plate (11) having at its upper end a cut-out portion (110) for supporting an end edge of a lens (L2), and an auxiliary plate (12) formed in one piece with the support plate (11) at an intersection angle. The jig can reduce as much as possible the occurrence of appearance defect of a lens at the side holding portions for supporting the sides of a lens and at the lower-side holding portion for supporting the lower side of the lens.

Abstract:
A metal surface coating treatment device and a surface coated metal manufacturing method capable of providing excellent uniformness of coating thickness, excellent balance of weight, excellent appearance, and excellent feeling at the time of operation and contact, and having a large freedom degree of design of the amount of coating and size of coated metal, the metal surface coating treatment device comprising a magnetic floating means (1) for floating a treated metal (10) in the air, an optical control means with parts 2A, 2B, and 3 preventing the floated treated metal (10) from being magnetically attracted to the magnetic floating means (1) in vertical direction, a storage tank (9) positioned vertically coaxially with the magnetic floating means (1) and storing liquid coating material (11) used for the coating treatment of the treated metal (10), and a vertical moving means having a drive mechanism (7) for adhering the liquid coating material (11) to the treated metal (10) by immersing the treated metal (10) in the storage tank (9) by vertically moving the magnetic floating means (1), raising the treated metal (10) from the storage tank (9), and allowing to dry the liquid coating material (11) adhered to the surface of the treated metal.
Abstract:
A robot for transporting a plurality of wafers from one processing station to another in a batch-type semiconductor device manufacturing process includes a chuck for holding wafers, a spray nozzle for spraying inert gas on the wafers in order to cover them and thereby prevent their contact with the surrounding air, and a supply line for connecting the spray nozzle and an inert gas supply source. The spray nozzle has a plurality of spray openings spaced apart at uniform intervals. The inert gas is sprayed over the wafers from a nozzle that moves with the robot, thereby creating an inert gas environment around the wafers. Accordingly, as the robot moves, water or other particles adhering to the wafers do not contact the surrounding air moving relative thereto. Hence, marks are prevented from being produced on the wafers.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a chuck apparatus for holding and shaping a hollow, flexible, endless substrate during dip coating comprising: (a) a hollow, flexible bladder adapted to be disposed within the substrate; and (b) a first spindle and a second spindle which are partially disposed within the bladder, the second spindle being movable to press the bladder against the substrate and to shape the bladder and the substrate into an elongated shape.
Abstract:
There is disclosed an assembly for selectively coating a hollow, cylindrical first substrate defining a first open end region having an outer surface and an inner surface and a second open end region, the assembly including a first plug member fabricated from a nonwetting material, wherein the plug member has a bottom surface defining a pallet coupling feature and a top surface defining a cavity region encompassed by a circumferentially extending rigid side wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the first end region of the substrate is disposed in the cavity region where the inner surface of the side wall grips the outer surface of the first end region of the substrate to couple the first plug member to the first end region, whereby the plug member minimizes coating of the outer surface and the inner surface of the first end region of the substrate by a coating solution.
Abstract:
For processing semiconductor substrates in a processing fluid, the substrates are introduced into a processing bath in which the processing fluid is filled. For holding the substrates in the process of introducing them into the processing bath, a holder having a pair of holding rods end a pair of aiding rods is prepared. A periodical linear array of grooves is formed on each rod. The rims of substrates are inserted into respective corresponding grooves on the rods so that the substrates do not touch respective side walls of the grooves in the aiding rod.
Abstract:
An apparatus for holding and subsequently releasing a solid compact medicament, such as a caplet. The apparatus has a first and a second member each having an upper and a lower surface. The first and second members each have at least one notch opposed to each other and correspondingly aligned and extending beyond the respective upper and lower surfaces of each member. The first and second members have chambers adjacent to each of the notches, and each of the notches is moveable in the respective chamber of the opposing member so that the opposing notches form a gripping jaw that can move between a first and a second position. When the gripping jaw is in an open first position, it can receive a solid compact medicament, and in a closed second position, the gripping jaw can grip the medicament.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for sequentially applying a predetermined amount of adhesive to a series of sheets of insulation having a frame with a conveyor mounted at one end, a magazine adapted to maintain and dispense sheets of insulation, one at a time onto the conveyor, a floating adhesive dispensing hopper is positioned adjacent to the conveyor, and a sheet stopping mechanism located on the other side of the hopper at the opposite end of the frame. In operation, a plurality of sheets of insulation are loaded into the magazine, dispensed onto the conveyor one at a time, then driven by the conveyer under the floating adhesive dispensing hopper which applies adhesive to the entire width of the sheet of insulation as the sheet passes under the hopper. The stopping mechanism beyond the hopper stops the movement of the sheet of insulation by deactivating the conveyor until the sheet with the adhesive applied thereon is removed.
