Abstract

Abstract An apparatus for the ultrasonic welding and cutting of a pair of juxtaposed synthetic-resin sheets has a sonotrode and an anvil, one being engageable with the other, upon their relative movement toward one another. Mounted on the anvil or sonotrode is a spacer element is the form of a ridge running along the middle of the welding face of the tool. This ridge has a height slightly less than the combined thickness of the two sheets so that when the spacer ridge engages the opposite welding face it cuts the sheets while the surfaces of the face blanking the spacer ridge coact with the opposite face to form a welded seam.
