<p>A ceramic material containing organic binder is formed by extrusion, dried and cut off so as to make the honeycomb body 100 having the bulkheads 11 and a plurality of cells 12 partitioned by the bulkheads 11 and penetrating between both end faces of the honeycomb body 100. The tapered jig 3 having a tapered forward end portion 31 is inserted into the opening 13 of the cell 12 of the honeycomb body 100. Then, the bulkheads 11 are heated and softened and deformed by a pushing force given by the tapered jig 3 so that the opening 13 of the cell 12 is expanded to form the large opening 131, and the opening 13 of the adjoining cell 12 is reduced at the same time so as to form the small opening 132. After that, the honeycomb body 100 is fired. In this way, the exhaust gas purifying filter for collecting particulates is manufactured.</p> |
