Abstract
Abstract A substantially hollow supporting base made from a plastic material comprises an upper elongated supporting surface for the support of a plurality of plastic layers to be welded and a depressible pressure member cooperating with and movable relative to the supporting surface between a rest position and a welding position. An electric heating wire is connected to and extends along the elongation of the supporting surface for welding, in association with the pressure member, the plurality of plastic layers. All the other electrical components necessary for alternatingly heating the heating wire, are accommodated in the hollow interior of the supporting base.

A portable welding device for fusing a plurality of fusible layers, particularly layers of plastic material, comprising, in combination, support means comprising an upright base and an elongated arm portion projecting laterally from said base and having a free outer end; an upright support member on said outeR free end of said arm portion for supporting said outer end; an elongated upper support face provided on said base and said elongated arm portion for supporting a plurality of fusible layers thereon; pressure means mounted on said base movable relative to said upper support face between a rest position and a welding position for engaging in said welding position a plurality of fusible layers on said support face and for pressing the same against said support face; and welding means associated with said upper support face for heating said fusible layers pressed by said pressure means onto said support face so as to weld said fusible layers to each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A portable welding device for fusing a plurality of fusible layers, particularly layers of plastic material, comprising, in combination, support means comprising an upright base and an elongated arm portion projecting laterally from said base and having a free outer end; an upright support member on said outeR free end of said arm portion for supporting said outer end; an elongated upper support face provided on said base and said elongated arm portion for supporting a plurality of fusible layers thereon; pressure means mounted on said base movable relative to said upper support face between a rest position and a welding position for engaging in said welding position a plurality of fusible layers on said support face and for pressing the same against said support face; and welding means associated with said upper support face for heating said fusible layers pressed by said pressure means onto said support face so as to weld said fusible layers to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A device as defined in claim 1, wherein said base, said elongated arm portion and said upright support member are integrally connected to each other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
76 words
A device as defined in claim 1, wherein said base and said arm portion constitute a housing, and wherein said welding means are electric welding means comprising an electric heating wire supported on said elongated support face for heating engagement with said plurality of fusible layers, and electric circuit means accommodated in said base and including switch means for periodically electrically actuating said heating wire for heating the same and thereby said plurality of fusible layers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
71 words
A device as defined in claim 3, wherein said support face is electrically nonconductive and has axially opposite ends and comprises a groove longitudinally extending between said opposite ends and support means in said groove for supporting said electric heating wire, said support means comprising a longitudinally extending electrically conductive support beam having leg portions abutting the bottom of said groove and having an upper portion supporting said electric heating wire.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
63 words
A device as defined in claim 4, wherein said longitudinally extending groove in said support face has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional configuration, and wherein said longitudinally extending support beam has a substantially inverted U-shaped cross-sectional configuration, said upper portion of said support beam supporting said electric heating wire constituting the base portion of said beam and extending substantially level with said support surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
