Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
An apparatus for connecting plastic tubes by heat sealing, comprising a plate with at least one heatable widening mandril forming a funnel shaped widening, one side of said plate comprising second annular sections having truncated conical outer walls which widen toward the exterior, the opposite side of said plate comprising first annular sections having inner truncated conical surfaces which taper toward the interior, whereby the smallest diameter of an inner conical surface at the inner extreme end of an annular section is equal to the smallest outer diameter at an outward extremity of an annular section at the opposite side of the plate, the top angle of said second annular conical outer walls [21A] to [24A] of said second annular sections [21], [22], [23], [24] and of the conical inner walls [17A], [18A], [19A] and [20A] of said first annular sections [17], [18], [19], [20] being comprised between 20 and 60 degrees and means connected to simultaneously heat said first and second annular sections.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
164 words
An apparatus for connecting plastic tubes by heat sealing, comprising a plate with at least one heatable widening mandril forming a funnel shaped widening, one side of said plate comprising second annular sections having truncated conical outer walls which widen toward the exterior, the opposite side of said plate comprising first annular sections having inner truncated conical surfaces which taper toward the interior, whereby the smallest diameter of an inner conical surface at the inner extreme end of an annular section is equal to the smallest outer diameter at an outward extremity of an annular section at the opposite side of the plate, the top angle of said second annular conical outer walls [21A] to [24A] of said second annular sections [21], [22], [23], [24] and of the conical inner walls [17A], [18A], [19A] and [20A] of said first annular sections [17], [18], [19], [20] being comprised between 20 and 60 degrees and means connected to simultaneously heat said first and second annular sections.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein there is an insulating layer in between the external part of the truncated conical surfaces and the internal part of the truncated conical surfaces.
