Apparatus for manufacturing a multichannel electrode array for cranial nerve stimulation
First Claim
1. An apparatus for manufacturing a multichannel electrode array for cranial nerve stimulation, comprising:
- an electrode support supporting a plurality of electric wires, with a plurality of platinum rings fitted over the electrode support;
a frame unit fixing the electrode support;
a rotating unit comprising upper and lower plates coupled to upper and lower ends of a rotating shaft, the rotating unit being rotated in such a way that when bobbins around which the respective electric wires that are supported by the electrode support are wound slide on the upper plate, the electric wires are twisted pair by pair on the electrode support;
an elevating plate rotatably and slidably supporting the rotating unit; and
a pair of manipulation units rotating the rotating unit such that the rotating unit slides for a length of the grid.

Abstract
According to the present invention, an apparatus for manufacturing a multichannel electrode array for cranial nerve stimulation comprises: an electrode support supporting a plurality of electric wires, and having a plurality of platinum rings inserted therein; a frame member including a base, a pair of vertical frames, and a horizontal frame to fix the electrode support; a rotating member into the center of which the electrode support is inserted, and which rotates such that electric wires are twisted, pair by pair, at the electrode support so as to form a grid, when bobbins that are wound with the electric wires slide; an elevating plate rotatably and slidably supporting the rotating member; and a pair of left-side and right-side control units and which rotate the rotating member such that the rotating member slides along a length equal to that the grid.
