「引用文献１に記載された発明では、各ダイインサートの上面が、ダイテーブルの上面と同一平であるか否かは明らかではない。しかし、被加工材を正確に供給するためには、必然的にダインインサートと大テーブルとを面一にするはずであって、請求項６に係る態様のような配置とすることに、格別な困難性は認められない。」









翻訳例

In the invention described in Reference 1, it is unclear whether each die insert upper surface is flush with the die table upper surface. However, in order to accurately feed workpieces, it is necessary that the die insert and the die table be flush with each other, and there is no remarkable difficulty in adopting an arrangement in the manner of the embodiment of claim 6.





解説

The term “同一平” is sometimes translated as “coplanar” or “level,” but the most apt term in this case is “flush.” This paragraph is also an example of a typographical error on behalf of the Examiner. Recognizing the intent behind terms rather than translating exactly as presented is important for conveying meaning to the end client.
