An apparatus for manufacturing a laminated unit of ceramic green sheets comprises an endless belt, and an applying apparatus provided at a predetermined position on the running path of the endless belt. The applying apparatus includes a reservoir for storing a ceramic slurry and a moveable blade. When the belt runs with the blade spaced a predetermined distance from the top surface of the endless belt, the ceramic slurry flows out through a gap between the blade and the belt and, thus, is applied on the belt to a predetermined thickness. The applied ceramic slurry is dried by a drier so as to form a ceramic green sheet. A conductive paste is printed on the top surface of the ceramic green sheet by a printing apparatus. The printed conductive paste is dried by a drier. The ceramic green sheet with the conductive paste printed thereon is brought again to the applying apparatus due to the movement of the endless belt, the blade of the applying apparatus is further displaced upward, and ceramic slurry is applied on the previously formed ceramic green sheet. By repeating such applied again on the ceramic green sheet. By repeating such a process, a laminated unit of the ceramic green sheets is obtained.

Apparatus for manufacturing a laminated unit of ceramic green sheets

A variable capacitor for use in electrical and electronic equipment which includes a stator disposed on an insulating base, a stator terminal lead having an electrode portion fixed to the stator and a terminal end extending through the insulating base. The variable capacitor includes a metallic rotor rotatably disposed on the stator through a dielectric plate, a rotor terminal lead having a resilient spring portion disposed on the rotor and a terminal end extending through the base, and an insulating cap of hollow cylindrical shape fitted over the resilient spring portion of the rotor terminal lead. The insulating cap is rigidly connected to the base to form the variable capacitor of compact size with sufficiently large electrostatic capacity.
