SUPPORTING APPARATUS, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR SUPPORTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240315681 titled 'SUPPORTING APPARATUS, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR SUPPORTING APPARATUS
The abstract describes a supporting apparatus designed to assist in bending a unit with a bend body. The apparatus includes a drive member that rotates around a rotational axis, a transmission member that moves in the direction of the rotational axis by the rotation of the drive member, and a driven member that bends the bend body and moves in the same direction as the rotational axis by the movement of the transmission member. The drive member and the driven member are supported by two supporting members with the same shape, engaged with a coupling member.
- Drive member rotates around a rotational axis.
- Transmission member moves in the direction of the rotational axis by the rotation of the drive member.
- Driven member bends the bend body and moves in the same direction as the rotational axis by the movement of the transmission member.
- Drive member and driven member are supported by two supporting members with the same shape.
- Supporting members are engaged with a coupling member.
Potential Applications: - Manufacturing processes requiring precise bending of materials. - Industrial applications where controlled bending is necessary.
