Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
THE METHOD OF BONDING A THERMOPLASTIC MEMBER TO ANOTHER MEMBER IN PREDETERMINED ALIGNMENT, WHICH COMPRISES PRESSING SURFACES OF SAID MEMBERS AGAINST EACH OTHER AND SIMULTANEOUSLY RUBBING SUCH SURFACES THROUGH AN AMPLITUDE OF MOVEMENT AND DURING A TIME INTERVAL SUFFICIENT TO SOFTEN THE THERMOPLASTIC MEMBER SURFACE BY FRICTIONALLY INDUCED HEAT, THEREAFTER PROGRESSIVELY REDUCING THE AMPLITUDE OF RUBBING MOVEMENT AND PROGRESSIVELY BRINGING SAID MEMBERS TO SAID PREDETERMINED ALIGNMENT UNTIL RUBBING MOVEMENT CEASES WITH SAID MEMBERS DISPOSED IN SAID PREDETERMINED ALIGNMENT, AND THEN HOLDING SAID MEMBERS IN SAID PREDETERMINED ALIGNMENT WITH SAID SURFACES PRESSED AGAINST EACH OTHER UNTIL THE SOFTENED THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL HARDENS.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
