Title: Manabu Tomiya and His Patent for Press-Mold Dust Collection.

Introduction

Manabu Tomiya is an inventor based in Toyota, Japan, and works at Creative Technology Corporation. His patent work addresses dust collection during stamping, with a focus on reliable performance and safe installation on a press mold.

Latest Patents

Tomiya is associated with 1 patent: “Electric Precipitator for Press Mold and Press Mold Using Same.” The invention uses electrostatic force to collect dusty foreign matter emitted during stamping.

The device includes a laminated sheet with a dust-collection layer, two electrode layers, insulation layers, and a close-contact fixation layer for attaching the assembly to a mold. A power supply applies voltage across the electrodes. The layered insulation separates the dust-collection layer, electrodes, and fixation layer, while the electrode films use a conductive polymer coating on a polyethylene terephthalate base. The patent also describes a polyimide film, 75 micrometers thick, for the second insulation layer. A press mold incorporating the precipitator is also provided.

Career Highlights

Tomiya’s patent highlights an approach to integrating electrostatic dust collection directly with press-mold equipment. Its design aims to improve collection reliability while supporting practical installation and safe use.
