Abstract
Abstract Members are welded together by indirect application of heat, as for welding internal battery posts for connecting groups of plates electrically, through the use of a plurality of heated elements simultaneously engaging posts to be welded together, and wherein the configuration of molten material is controlled as the weld cools, by the use of a templet. The elements are heated, preferably by application of open flame through a plurality of mixing systems for the fuel, with one system being provided for each heated element.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
Apparatus for thermal welding a plurality of members together comprising an element adapted to be heated and directly applied to members to be welded together, means for heating the element, both said elemEnt and said heating means therefor comprising components of the same apparatus, attached to one another and movable together, wherein said heating means comprises means for applying an open flame to said element, and wherein there are a plurality of said elements, each with an associated flameapplying means, wherein a mounting base is provided in said apparatus, with said respective attached element and flame applying means each being adjustably carried together on said base, and with a guide plate carried by said base and having a set of voids therein for at least partially receiving portions of said flame applying means therein for guiding and positioning each of said respective attached elements and flame applying means together relative to said base and to the other respective attached elements and flame applying means in accordance with a predetermined desired positioning of said elements.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
