Abstract
Abstract Device for soldering a printed board, equipped with a printed substrate conveyor, which effects soldering of chip parts on a printed substrate by moving the printed substrate through a molten solder wave formed by providing a nozzle in a solder tank accommodating molten solder, and a vibration imparter for giving vibration to the printed substrate when it is passing through the molten solder wave.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A device for soldering on printed boards, comprising: means for conveying a printed board in a longitudinal direction; a solder tank for containing molten solder; nozzle means for jetting molten solder from said solder tank to form a molten solder wave which continuously contacts a bottom surface of the printed board as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means; roller means for rollingly contacting one of the printed board and said conveying means as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means; and means for imparting vibration through said roller means to the printed board as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means with the molten solder wave in continuous contact with the bottom surface of the printed board.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
124 words
A device for soldering on printed boards, comprising: means for conveying a printed board in a longitudinal direction; a solder tank for containing molten solder; nozzle means for jetting molten solder from said solder tank to form a molten solder wave which continuously contacts a bottom surface of the printed board as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means; roller means for rollingly contacting one of the printed board and said conveying means as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means; and means for imparting vibration through said roller means to the printed board as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means with the molten solder wave in continuous contact with the bottom surface of the printed board.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
154 words
A device for soldering on printed boards, comprising: means for conveying a printed board in a longitudinal direction; a solder tank for containing molten solder; nozzle means for jetting molten solder from said solder tank to form a molten solder wave which continuously contacts a bottom surface of the printed board as it is conveyed by said conveying means; and means for imparting vibration to the printed board as it is conveyed by said conveying means with the molten solder wave in continuous contact with the bottom surface of the printed board, said imparting means including a roller located to rollingly contact said conveying means as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means with the molten solder wave in continuous contact with the bottom surface of the printed board and means for vibrating said roller generally perpendicular to said longitudinal direction so as to vibrate the printed board through said conveying means.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
154 words
A device for soldering on printed boards, comprising: means for conveying a printed board in a longitudinal direction; a solder tank for containing molten solder; nozzle means for jetting molten solder from said solder tank to form a molten solder wave which continuously contacts a bottom surface of the printed board as it is conveyed by said conveying means; and means for imparting vibration to the printed board as it is conveyed by said conveying means with the molten solder wave in continuous contact with the bottom surface of the printed board, said imparting means including a roller located to rollingly contact said conveying means as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means with the molten solder wave in continuous contact with the bottom surface of the printed board and means for vibrating said roller generally perpendicular to said longitudinal direction so as to vibrate the printed board through said conveying means.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
172 words
A device for applying solder to base portions of closely spaced, electrically conductive elements projecting from bottom surfaces of printed boards with open spaces between adjacent closely spaced ones of the elements, said device comprising: means for conveying a printed board in a longitudinal direction; a solder tank for containing molten solder; nozzle means for jetting molten solder from said solder tank to form a molten solder wave which continously contacts a bottom surface of the printed board as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means; roller means for rollingly contacting one of the printed board and said conveying means as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means; and means for imparting sufficient viration to the printed board through said roller means that the molten solder from the molten solder wave attaches to the bases of the elements, in the open spaces, as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means with the molten solder wave in continuous contact with the bottom surface of the printed board.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
172 words
A device for applying solder to base portions of closely spaced, electrically conductive elements projecting from bottom surfaces of printed boards with open spaces between adjacent closely spaced ones of the elements, said device comprising: means for conveying a printed board in a longitudinal direction; a solder tank for containing molten solder; nozzle means for jetting molten solder from said solder tank to form a molten solder wave which continously contacts a bottom surface of the printed board as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means; roller means for rollingly contacting one of the printed board and said conveying means as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means; and means for imparting sufficient viration to the printed board through said roller means that the molten solder from the molten solder wave attaches to the bases of the elements, in the open spaces, as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means with the molten solder wave in continuous contact with the bottom surface of the printed board.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
72 words
A device as in claim 3, wherein said roller means includes a roller located to rollingly contact said conveying means as the printed board is conveyed by said conveying means with the molten solder wave in continuous contact with the bottom surface of the printed board, said imparting means including means for vibrating said roller generally perpendicularly to said longitudinal direction so as to vibrate the printed board through said conveying means.
