The anchor / seals serve two purposes: they provide a hanging capacity to support the patch in the well and create a “bridge” preventing the molten alloy from freely flowing through the annulus between the tubular assembly and sand screen and focusing the molten alloy at the anchor / seals to flow in radial direction penetrating through the sand-screen and the surrounding proppant sand creating a complete seal.

When a metal ribbon is ultrasonic-bonded, a peripheral area of an island and hanging pins provided in the periphery of the island need to be clamped by use of clampers of a bonder to prevent the island from being lifted up. However, if no sufficiently-wide peripheral area of the island can be secured or no hinging pins can be provided due to the miniaturization of the device, there arises a problem that the island cannot be clamped. A protrusion, which protrudes toward a lead and has the same height as an end portion of the lead, is provided to an edge of the island opposed to the lead. Accordingly, when the protrusion and the end portion of the lead are simultaneously pressed by the damper, it is possible to prevent the island from being lifted up even when no hanging pin or no clamp area around the island is provided.
