The invention relates to an ultrasonic welding and cutting device for use in the manufacture of a flat-cable. The flat cable includes a plurality of wire conductors which are arranged in parallel at a given interval to each other and interposed between first and second insulator films. The device has a product flow line with an upstream to downstream direction. The device comprises a horn means including a horn melter unit for imparting ultrasonic oscillations, and a horn cutter unit. The horn melter unit and the horn cutter unit are located sequentially from upstream to downstream at a predetermined distance along the product flow line. The device further comprises an anvil means including an anvil melter unit and one or several anvil blade unit(s). The anvil melter unit and the anvil blade unit(s) respectively face the horn melter unit and the horn cutter unit along the product flow line, such that, when the first and second insulator films containing the plurality of wire conductors are passed between the horn and anvil means, the first and second insulator films can be fused and adhered by the horn and anvil melter units, and successively fused and cut or trimmed by the horn cutter unit and anvil blade unit(s), respectively along the product flow line. <IMAGE> |
