Latest Patents

Waseda is credited with 1 patent: “Electric precipitator for press mold and press mold using same.” The invention is designed to collect stamping debris more reliably through electrostatic force, while offering practical installation and safe use with a press mold.

The precipitator uses a laminated sheet that includes a dust-collection layer, first and second electrode layers, insulation layers, and a close-contact fixation layer for attaching the device to a mold. A power supply applies voltage across the electrode layers. The insulation arrangement separates the dust-collection layer and electrodes, the two electrodes from each other, and the second electrode from the fixation layer. The electrode films use a conductive-polymer coating on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) base, while the specified second insulation layer uses a 75-micrometer-thick polyimide film. The patent also describes a press mold incorporating the precipitator.
