Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
THE METHOD OF WELDING TWO PLASTIC OBJECTS TOGETHER WHICH COMPRISES BEVELING THE ABUTTING EDGES OF SAID OBJECTS TO FORM A V-SHAPED GROOVE, APPLYING A PLATIC ROD IN SAID GROOVE, SIMULTANEOUSLY HEATING SAID ROD AND THE SURFACES OF SAID GROOVE TO PRODUCE A FIRST WELD SUBSTANTIALLY FILLING SAID V-SHAPED GROOVE, CUTTING A BROADER SEMI-OVAL GROOVE CENTERED ABOUT THE CENTER LINE OF SAID V-SHAPED GROOVE TO A DEPTH INCLUDING A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE SAID FIRST WELD, APPLYING A PLASTIC SEMI-OVAL ROD SUBSTANTIALLY CONFORMING WITH SAID SEMI-OVAL GROOVE IN SAID SEMI-OVAL GROOVE AND SIMULTANEOUSLY HEATING SAID ROD AND THE SURFACES OF SAID SEMI-OVAL GROOVE TO PRODUCE A SECOND WELD SUBSTANTIALLY FILLING SAID SEMI-OVAL GROOVE WHEREBY A STRONG, TIGHT DOUBLE WELD BETWEEN SAID TWO PLASTIC OBJECTS IS OBTAINED.
