Abstract The disclosure embraces a soldering apparatus which includes a vessel having an open top for containing a molten soldering material such as tin, a ladle having a scoop portion and a tank which is connected to the scoop by a pipe; the ladle is movable into and out of the vessel whereby the tank and scoop will become filled with the soldering material upon submergence of the ladle in the vessel; the tank has a selected dimension and lower height relative to the scoop so that the soldering material will form a meniscus bubble over its surface which will be free of slag or oxidation material to thereby present a clean soldering bath to the elements to be soldered when the tank is raised out of the soldering bath of the vessel.
Soldering apparatus comprising a vessel for containing a molten soldering material, a ladle including a tank and a scoop, said ladle being movable into and out of said vessel so as to fill said tank and scoop with soldering material contained in said vessel, said tank and scoop portion being in fluid communication and each having a lip with the lip of said scoop lying in a horizontal plane that is spaced vertically above the lip of said tank.
