An object of the invention is to provide a tool horn integrally formed into one unit of a vibration converting portion (1) and a torsional vibration tool portion (2), which can convert longitudinal vibration in an ultrasonic processing device (DE) to torsional vibration, wherein said vibration converting portion (1) is provided with a disk-shaped main body (11), in which flexural vibrations are induced when ultrasonic vibrations concerned with longitudial direction are imparted thereto, with one side thereof forming one pair of projected frames (12) attachable to the longitudial vibration horn and the other side thereof forming a connecting rib (14) connected to the torsional vibration tool portion (2), said connecting rib (14) being disposed in a relation occupying the diagonal position to said projected frames (12).
A tool horn comprising an integrally formed structure including a vibration converter for converting longitudinal ultrasonic vibrations to torsional vibrations and a vibration tool for providing torsional vibrations to a workpiece, said vibration converter including an elongated metal bar having first and second longitudinal sides arranged opposite to each other, said first longitudinal side receiving said longitudinal vibrations and said second longitudinal side providing said torsional vibrations to said vibration tool.
A horn for transmitting ultrasonic vibrations adapted for receiving longitudinal vibrations and providing torsional vibrations in the sonic or ultrasonic frequency range comprising:
