Abstract

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a substrate-integrated gasket using screen printing. The method includes: a step for forming, on a surface of a substrate by means of screen printing, a coating layer of a paste for forming a gasket; and a step for hardening the coating layer by pressing, at a predetermined height, a coating layer correction member to the coating layer. The cross-sectional shape of the coating layer formed on the surface of the substrate is corrected by means of the coating layer correction member, and in such state, the coating layer hardens to be a gasket, thereby forming a gasket having a highly accurate cross-sectional shape.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of manufacturing a substrate integrated gasket, the method comprising:
a step of forming an application layer of a gasket forming paste to a surface of a substrate using a screen printing process, the application layer having a first height relative to the substrate; and
a step of pressing an application layer correcting member onto the application layer and curing the application layer,
wherein the application layer correcting member includes a table having a spacer formed thereon that includes a second height less than the first height, and the application layer correcting member includes a movable correcting plate that is configured to contact the spacer and press the application layer such that after the application layer is cured, the substrate integrated gasket includes a height equal to the second height.

2. The method of manufacturing the substrate integrated gasket according to claim 1 , wherein the gasket forming paste is made of an ultraviolet curable liquid rubber, the movable correcting plate comprises a transparent plate, and the application layer is cured by irradiating ultraviolet light to the application layer via the movable correcting plate.

3. The method of manufacturing the substrate integrated gasket according to claim 2 , wherein the movable correcting plate is formed into a tabular shape.

4. The method of manufacturing the substrate integrated gasket according to claim 1 , wherein the movable correcting plate is formed into a tabular shape.
