Abstract
An assembly device of a support mat for a ceramic catalyst carrier includes: a push-in device provided in a vertically movable tool base and capable of pushing a ceramic catalyst carrier together with a support mat into a recession of a shaping die; a first and a second pressing unit pressing both end portions of the support mat from side faces so as to curve the both end portions of the support mat along an arc-shaped upper surface of the ceramic catalyst carrier; first pressing pieces and a second pressing piece provided in tip portions of the first and second pressing units; and a push-up unit provided on a bottom of the recession and capable of pushing up the ceramic catalyst carrier together with the support mat.

An assembly device of a support mat for a ceramic catalyst carrier, comprising:
- a base capable of holding the support mat in a flat plate shape substantially horizontally;
- a shaping die provided on an intermediate portion of said base and having a recession that has a shape substantially fitting a semicircular bottom surface of the ceramic catalyst carrier;
- a push-in unit capable of pushing the ceramic catalyst carrier together with the support mat into the recession of said shaping die;
- a first pressing unit and a second pressing unit that are horizontally driven toward the ceramic catalyst carrier to press both end portions of the support mat from side faces in a state where said push-in unit is moved up to depart from the support mat so as to curve the both end portions of the support mat along an arc-shaped upper surface of the ceramic catalyst carrier, said first pressing unit and said second pressing unit being capable of being pressed toward the both end portions by said push-in unit which is moved downward toward the ceramic catalyst carrier in a state where said first pressing unit and said second pressing unit are horizontally moved toward the ceramic catalyst carrier;
- and
- a push-up unit provided on a bottom of the recession in said shaping die and capable of pushing up the ceramic catalyst carrier together with the support mat.

- a push-up unit provided on a bottom of the recession in said shaping die and capable of pushing up the ceramic catalyst carrier together with the support mat;
- and
- an automatic tape feeder to feed an adhesive tape to an upper surface of one end portion of said base,
- wherein one of said first pressing unit and said second pressing unit that is to press one of the end portions of the support mat where the adhesive tape is not pasted is driven before the other one of the first and second pressing units is driven.
