Abstract:
A holding structure ( 2 ) in an ultrasonic vibration welding device that welds workpieces by applying ultrasonic waves to the workpieces holds an ultrasonic vibration transmitter (horn) ( 5 ) bearing the transmission of longitudinally vibrating ultrasonic waves in holding members ( 8, 8 ). The horn comprises a horn body ( 51 ) having the length of one-half the wavelength λ of the ultra-sonic vibration. Holding structure ( 2 ) includes holders ( 7 x,  7 y ) having a prescribed volume and thin sheet connectors ( 6 a,  6 b ) placed at different positions (Pa, Pb) on the horn body ( 51 ). The horn body ( 51 ) is fixed to holding members ( 8, 8 ) by means of the respective holders ( 7 x,  7 y ).

Claim (Index 1):
A holding structure of an ultrasonic vibration transmission mechanism comprising a horn body formed as a solid body of a prescribed length, holders which make the horn body face the center and two connectors provided in different axial positions on the horn body in order to maintain a space between the horn body and the respective holders made as one piece in an ultrasonic vibration welding device that can weld pieces by frictional heat on the pieces by applying an ultrasonic wave machine's vibrational energy to pieces from a horn resonating in ultrasonic vibration; said structure is constructed to maintain a space between the horn body and the holders by means of thin sheet connectors in a 1st position on one edge of the horn body and to maintain a space between the horn body and the holders by means of thin sheet connectors in a 2nd position separated at a prescribed distance from the abovementioned edge on another edge; the horn body is then fixed to the holding element by the respective holders.
