Abstract:
In a vertical vibration joining apparatus where a resonator having a vibrator on one end side is horizontally attached to a supporting tool capable of ascending and descending, the resonator includes a cross horn of a cross shape in a front view and two boosters, the cross horn is for converting acoustic vibration transmitted from the vibrator from vibration in a lateral direction to vibration in a vertical direction orthogonal to the lateral direction, two boosters are provided at both ends of a pair of projection portions of the cross horn in the lateral direction, and portions to be supported to the supporting tool are coaxially and integrally provided on two boosters by bending outer peripheral faces of the boosters at minimum vibration amplitude points of vibration in the lateral direction resonating with the acoustic vibration transmitted from the vibrator outside in a diametrical direction to project the same annularly.
