Abstract: An integrated multiple particle heating agent is provided for heating, particularly using the agent for heating and bonding plastic substrates. The integrated multiple particle heating agent includes significant portions of non-conductive ferromagnetic oxide particles which generate heat because of hysteresis losses and of conductive ferrous particles which generate heat because of eddy current losses. The dual particles are thoroughly intermixed and respond to a magnetic field of an appropriate RF frequency. The ferromagnetic particles are submicron size and the ferrous particles are micron size. The particles are combined with an inert resin carrier and applied as a coating, directly incorporated within the substrate, or as a separate element. The ferromagnetic oxide loading is generally less than the ferrous particle loading, with a range of 30 to 60 percent (40 to 50 preferred) by weight of ferrous particles and a range of 10 to 50 percent (15-25 preferred) by weight of the oxide particles.

Abstract: A preformed flock lined rubber-like glove has its cuff folded back to expose the flocked lining and is mounted in a rotating support. A spray nozzle deposits a band of the hot-melt adhesive on the flocked lining of the exposed and rotating cuff. The hot-melt adhesive is a combination of a hot-melt adhesive resin and a uniform dispersion of small particles which create heat in the presence of a high frequency magnetic field. The hot-melt adhesive is allowed to solidify to a solid mass. The glove is telescoped downwardly onto a polyethylene sleeve supported on a rigid form and the cuff is unfolded to place the adhesive into engagement with the sleeve. A high frequency unit includes a high frequency coil having a pair of conducting bars at least one of which is movable. The glove and sleeve subassembly is clamped between the conducting bars and the coil is energized from a high frequency source. The fine particles are activated to heat the hot-melt band simultaneously with application of pressure.

Abstract: A machine tool has a spindle head pivotable through 180 degrees and having a spindle rotatably mounted in its housing. As a result of the pivoting movement, the spindle head can be shifted from a vertical to a horizontal working position. The spindle head has a toolholder and an axially displaceable tension rod. Through the tension rod runs a coolant bore extending into the working zone of the clamped tool. The coolant bore is connected to a line in a transfer piston displaceable in the spindle-head housing. The coolant bore and the transfer piston line are constantly in communication so that coolant flows uninterruptedly during displacement of the transfer piston. The line communicates with a coolant supply system. The coolant can be conveyed into the working zone of the tool in any position of the tool spindle and without any appreciable increase in size of the spindle head.

Abstract: Apparatus for broaching a cylindrical surface of a workpiece, in which at ast one broaching tool is mounted on a tool carrier rotatable about its axis and about the axis of the cylindrical surface of the workpiece clamped in a stationary position. The broaching tool is independently rotatable about its own axis, and the rotary motion of the tool is superimposed on the rotation of the carrier and consequently the revolving motion of the broaching tool. Since the workpiece is stationary during broaching, very high cutting speeds can be achieved. The broaching tool can be of small and lightweight construction so that it is especially suitable for an automatic tool change. In a preferred form, a plurality of broaching tools are utilized, the axes of which are spaced outwardly from and circumferentially about the axis of the workpiece.

The driven sprocket is positioned between and adjacent the reciprocated die assemblies at the processing station.

Abstract: This invention provides an apparatus and method of setting up apparatus for the automatic cutting and/or shaping of IC components carried in a tubular carrier and advanced for processing by gravity. A base plate is disposed at an angle of approximately forty degrees to the horizontal and provides a supporting means for gravitational feeding of these components from a removable U-shaped retainer to a guide and then to a die station. At this die station a resiliently tired feed wheel engages the body of the IC component which is metered and advanced with an intermittent motion. This motion is provided in a timed relationship with two rotating shafts which have pins moved in a precise orbit around a shaft centerline. These pins are one-hundred-eighty degrees out-of-phase with each other. The rotated feed wheel and attached tire are intermittently moved in a strict timed relationship to the movement of the two shafts by a one-way clutch driven by one of the shafts and by an eccentrically moved Pitman arm.

Abstract: A heat sealing apparatus for bonding plastic tubular members includes a seamless, tubular, elastic heating element encircling the plastic members. In one form, an annular inflatable bladder filled with hydraulic fluid encircles the heating element, and includes a rigid outer wall and an elastic inner wall that is bonded to the outer surface of the heating element. When the bladder is pressurized the heating element is compressed inwardly to a bonding position against the plastic members. The plastic members are then heated to a bonding temperature by the heating element resulting in a fusion bond along their interface. When the bladder is evacuated the heating element opens outwardly to be spaced from the plastic members to allow removal of the sealed members. The heating element includes a uniform dispersion of susceptor particles that will generate heat when exposed to the high frequency magnetic field of an induction heating coil. A method of heat sealing tubular plastic members is also disclosed.
