Abstract
A belt-like film 18 is moved along a plate 15 folded to be rectangular in section, so that the film 18 is formed into a continuous tube by a tubular frame of the plate 15. A spring piece 30 having an anvil 31 bulged out therefrom is securely held on the inner side edge 16 of the aforementioned plate 15, and an ultrasonic hammer 32 is located face to face with said anvil 31, so that both side edges of the belt-like film 18 formed into a tube are placed on the anvil 31 to be melded by the ultrasonic vibration of the hammer 32.
Claims2
A sealing device comprising:
- a tubular plate having two side edges thereof folded to overlap one upon another as if at a kimono's neck part;
- a means for moving a belt-like film along the tubular plate following a sectional profile of the tubular plate to form the film into a continuous tube;
- a spring piece with one end fixedly set on one side edge of the aforementioned overlapped part of the tubular plate, and
- an anvil formed on the other end of the spring piece for melding an overlapped portion of the tubular film in cooperation with a movable hammer which applies ultrasonic vibratory impact on the anvil.

A sealing device comprising:
- a tubular plate so folded as to form a continuous slit between two side edges thereof;
- a means for moving a belt-like film along an inner surface of the tubular plate following a sectional profile of the tubular plate to form the film into a continuous tube;
- a spring piece with one end fixedly set to a base block immovably held on one of the sides of the tubular plate sandwiching the aforementioned slit;
- and
- an anvil formed on the other end of the spring piece for melding clasped-hands like edges of the tubular film which are thrusted out from the aforementioned slit in cooperation with a movable hammer which applied ultrasonic vibratory impact on said anvil.
