Abstract: A pump for delivering precisely metered discrete quantities of solvent containing suspended solids in rapid cycles. The pump ejects the solvent from a cylinder in amounts proportional to discrete longitudinal movement of a piston inside the cylinder and eliminates internal valves that may become clogged.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for handling any desired length of flexible material such as tubing in any desired mass production operation or in any simple operation where various lengths of flexible material such as flexible tubing must be handled and/or cut to any desired length. The present invention also relates to a method and apparatus for mounting attachments onto a length of flexible material such as tubing wherein any desired number of attachments can be quickly and efficiently mounted onto the tubing at any desired location or multiplicity of locations along the length of the flexible material including but not limited to at or adjacent the material ends.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method and apparatus for applying solvent to an object for the purpose of solvent bonding the object to another object. The present invention is especially useful in connection with narrow diameter hollow cylindrical objects such as tubing. The present invention is especially applicable to high speed and mass production requirements where numerous pieces must be solvent bonded in rapid succession.
