摘要:
A continuous tape supply apparatus is provided in accordance with the present invention for supplying tape at a substantially consistent tension to a tape applicator machine having an indexing demand, such as a box sealing and taping machine. In general, the continuous tape supply apparatus includes plural tape sources, such as in roll form, from which tape can be supplied to the tape applicator machine, a splicing station for splicing the tape from at least one of the tape sources to another of the tape sources, a means for causing the splice and thus the changeover of tape from one source to another, and a tension control means for providing the tape from the continuous tape supply apparatus at a substantially consistent tension under an indexing demand. Preferably, the splicing mechanism also splices tape in the reverse order from the other tape source station back to the first tape source stations. The tension control means is preferably provided by a tape drive station, a first dancer arm providing a variable loop forming means between each of the tape supply sources and the splicing station, and a second dancer arm positioned operatively after the tape drive station which is located operatively after the splicing station. The first dancer arm is further preferably used to control a braking mechanism which together eliminate roll inertia effects to the splicing station. The second dancer arm is also advantageously used to control the speed of the motor drive of the tape drive station.

An apparatus for binding a plurality of sheets of paper together is disclosed. A pair of clamping plates presents one edge of the sheets for binding after a jogging plate aligns the edges. After a solid hot melt adhesive material sheet is placed along the edge of the sheets, a heating platen heats and melts the hot melt adhesive material sheet and causes the liquid adhesive to bind the sheets together. The method of binding the stack of a plurality of sheets of paper includes positioning a plurality of sheets between the clamping plates, vibrating the sheets to square and align their edges, clamping the aligned sheets of paper, presenting the aligned edge of the paper to the heating platen, placing an adhesive hot melt material sheet on the edge of the sheets, heating and melting the hot melt adhesive material sheet onto the edge, and removing the bound sheets from the apparatus.

摘要:
Electrical component assembly (30) comprising a first electrical component (32) comprising an electrical connection protrusion (34) (e.g., a solder bump) made of a first metal solder composition having a first melting point, and a second electrical component (36) comprising an electrical contact (38). A second metal solder composition (40) having a second melting point is formed or otherwise disposed so as to function as an electrical connection between at least a portion of the electrical connection protrusion (34) and the electrical contact (38) of the second electrical component (36). The second melting point is lower than the first melting point, and there is a distinct interface of demarcation between the electrical connection protrusion (34) and the second metal solder composition (40).
