Abstract:
An ultrasonic sealing apparatus for paper packages achieves more stable ultrasonic sealing by cooling the horn during ultrasonic sealing which would otherwise be unstable due to heat imparted to a horn by continuous sealing. An end portion of a horn of a casing that includes the horn and a converter, or the horn, a booster and the converter is cooled by supplying air to a frame portion exposed toward an anvil side.

Claim (Index 1):
An ultrasonic sealing apparatus for sealing of an overlapped portion by pressing a horn and an anvil against the overlapped portion from both sides, the overlapped portion being a portion where surfaces of a packaging material are so overlapped that thermoplastic resin layers face each other, wherein:\n the apparatus comprises the horn, the anvil and a frame portion; the horn is ultrasonically vibrated; the anvil presses the packaging material interposed between the horn and the anvil; and the frame portion has a mechanism for blowing a fluid to an end portion of the horn.
