Abstract 1,039,790. Soldering. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. July 2, 1963 [July 2, 1962], No. 26119/63. Heading B3R. An apparatus for making one or more solder connections between solder coated bodies, comprises a means for directing heat in a path of thin linear cross-section on to the line of juncture of the bodies. A module 10, Fig. 1, having pre-soldered connections 11 is to be joined to a base 12 having complementary connections (not shown). The apparatus comprises an arm 13 carrying one or more plates 15 of tungsten alumina or beryllium oxide heated by a supporting serpentine element 41 and a pair of locating claws 17, the plates and arms having limited movement in a vertical plane which is restrained when a handle-operated cam 19, 21 is out of engagement with a spring 18. The claws can be engaged with the module when the cam is vertical and in the position shown are released, for example at the end of each heating cycle. The arm 13 may move simply in a vertical plane, or may also have a lateral or swinging movement to obtain modules from a remote location and set them in the required position.
APPARATUS FOR FORMING A LINE OF CONCENTRATED HEAT FOR EFFECTING JUNCTION ALONG THE LINE OF THE CONTACTING SURFACES OF ONE GROUP OF CONTACTING SURFACES WITH THE CONTACTING SURFACES OF AT LEAST ONE OTHER GROUP OF CONTACTING SURFACES, THE RESPECTIVE ASSOCIATED CONTACTING SURFACES OF THE DIFFERENT GROUPS TO BE SO JOINED COMPRISING RESPECTIVE SETS, AT LEAST ONE PREDETERMINED CONTACTING SURFACE OF EACH OF THE RESPECTIVE SETS BEING PRETINNED, SAID APPARATUS COMPRISING: A SUPPORT FOR THE SURFACES; A MOVABLE BASE; MEANS FOR SELECTIVELY MOVING THE BASE INTO AND OUT OF OPERATING RELATION WITH THE SUPPORT; ELECTRICAL HEAT GENERATING MEANS CARRIED BY SAID BASE; HEAT DIRECTING MEANS INTEGRALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEAT GENERATING MEANS HAVING A THIN EDGELIKE OPERATING FACE; RESILIENT MEANS RELATING THE HEAT GENERATING MEANS AND HEATING DIRECTING MEANS TO THE BASE SUCH THAT ON MOVING THE BASE INTO OPERATIVE RELATION WITH THE SUPPORT THE OPERATING FACE IS BROUGHT INTO CLOSE PROXIMAL RELATIONSHIP WITH AT LEAST TWO SETS OF CONTACTING SURFACES TO EFFECT THEIR SIMULTANEOUS JUNCTION DURING HEATING; AND SECURING AND GUILDING MEANS CARRIED BY THE BASE HAVING PORTIONS FOR EFFECTING ENGAGEMENT OF THE SURFACES TO BE JOINED AND MAINTAINING THEM IN A FIXED POSITIONAL ARRANGEMENT DURING HEATING.
