Abstract:
The invention relates to an improved means and process for welding wires and, more particularly, for welding lead wires to the ends of the magnet wire in small wire coils. The invention also embraces an improved welding torch using a small-orificed burner tip and providing a sheath of shielding inert gas around the welding flame. Improved fixture means is likewise provided for tensioning and holding the wires in intimate contact while welding or fusing. The fixturing includes a means holding one wire in tension and coiling the other thereabout. The torch is moved up to the wrapped wires to effect the weld by fusing the wires at a temperature such that the insulation first vaporizes, obviating the need for initial removal of the insulation by other means or methods. The fixture includes rotatable means to bring the two ends of the coil wire into position for making welds to the leads.
Abstract:
A method of forming a solder joint includes the steps of providing a heat shield member formed as an arcuate preferably metallic shell attached to a spring-clamp by means of an obedient shaft; attaching the spring clamp to a structure adjacent the solder joint; moving the heat shield member by bending the obedient shaft so that the heat shield member is positioned in a location spaced-apart from the solder joint with the concave surface of the heat shield member facing the solder joint; and applying heat from a torch to the solder joint from the side opposite the heat shield so that the heat shield reflects the heat back onto the solder joint.
Abstract:
Method of manufacturing a cemented carbide cutting tool, includes a) bonding a body part of hot work tool steel and a cutting part of cemented carbides together by heat treatment; b) cooling the bonded body part and cutting part for a preset period of time; c) machining the cutting part to have a predetermined pattern according to its application and forming a cutting tool; d) coating a surface of the machined cutting tool with a film of at least one of metallic oxides, nitrides and carbides; and e) cooling the coated cutting tool for a preset period of time in air, and a cutting tool manufactured by the method. Cracks do not generate even after the coating step, and thus cemented carbide cutting tool having excellent mechanical properties may be manufactured.

Abstract:
A plumber's heat shield comprises an arcuate metallic shell attached to a spring-clamp by means of an obedient shaft which enables the heat shield to be moved to any position relative to the spring-clamp. The arcuate shell is preferably formed from aluminum or other material having high infrared reflectivity. The obedient shaft is preferably formed from helically-wound steel spring outer sheath surrounding a ductile copper wire core. The spring steel outer sheath prevents the ductile copper wire core from being bent at too sharp of a radius (which would cause the ductile core to work-harden and fracture) while at the same time protecting the ductile copper wire core from the open-flame of the soldering torch.
