Abstract

The separator production method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes a coated article winding off step of winding off, from a core, a separator original sheet which has been taken up in a coated article taking up step of winding the separator original sheet on an outer peripheral surface of the core while oscillating the core in a rotation axis direction, and the core is oscillated in the rotation axis direction in the coated article winding off step.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for producing a film, said method comprising the steps of:
taking up a film by a first step of winding the film on an outer peripheral surface of a core while oscillating the core in a rotation axis direction, such that the film is in a state of being distorted in a wavelike manner in the rotation axis direction; and
a second step of winding off the film, which has been taken up in the taking up step and which is in the state of being distorted in the wavelike manner in the rotation axis direction, from the core,
wherein in the second winding off step, the core is oscillated in the rotation axis direction and in the second winding off step, oscillation of the core is controlled so that distortion of the film which has been wound off becomes smaller.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
an oscillation cycle and an amplitude of the core in the second winding off step are identical with respect to an oscillation cycle and an amplitude of the core in the taking up step.

3. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
in the second winding off step, a position of an end part of the film, which has been wound off, in a transverse direction is detected, and oscillation of the core is controlled based on information thus detected.

4. The method as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising the step of:
slitting the film, which has been wound off in the second winding off step, into parts each of which has a predetermined product width.

5. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
a functional layer is provided on at least one of a front surface and a back surface of the film.
