Abstract
Abstract A processing jig of the invention is provided for deforming an object to be processed that is long in one direction into a complicated shape and processing the object with accuracy. The jig comprises: a main body to be fixed to a processing apparatus; a retainer that is long in one direction for retaining a bar as the object long in one direction; four couplers for coupling the retainer to the main body; five load application sections, coupled to the retainer, to which a load is applied for deforming the retainer; and arms for coupling the load application sections to the retainer.
