FIXING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18677130 titled 'FIXING DEVICE
The fixing device described in the patent application consists of a tubular body, a heater unit, a frame, and a guide member. The heater unit is positioned inside the tubular body and makes contact with it, while the frame provides support for the heater unit. The guide member is located on the side opposite the heater unit, with the frame in between. This guide member features multiple contact portions that are spaced apart from each other along the length of the tubular body.
- The heater unit is housed within the tubular body and comes into direct contact with it.
- The frame supports the heater unit, ensuring its stability and proper functioning.
- The guide member, positioned opposite the heater unit, includes several contact portions spaced along the length of the tubular body.
- The first contact portion is located at one end of the guide member, while the second contact portion is in the central portion.
- The second contact portion has a lower effective heat transfer coefficient with respect to the tubular body compared to the first contact portion.
Potential Applications: - This fixing device could be used in industrial settings for securing components in place during manufacturing processes. - It may also find applications in the automotive industry for assembling parts with precision and efficiency.
Problems Solved: - Ensures proper fixation of components without causing damage due to excessive heat transfer. - Provides a stable and reliable method for securing objects in place.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in fixing components. - Reduced risk of damage during the fixing process.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Fixing Device for Industrial and Automotive Applications This technology could be utilized in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and electronics for secure and efficient fixing of components.
Questions about the Fixing Device: 1. How does the second contact portion differ from the first contact portion in terms of heat transfer coefficient? - The second contact portion has a lower effective heat transfer coefficient compared to the first contact portion, ensuring more controlled heat transfer. 2. What are the potential industrial applications of this fixing device? - This fixing device could be used in various industries for securing components during manufacturing processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to one embodiment, a fixing device includes a tubular body, a heater unit, a frame, and a guide member. The heater unit is inside the tubular body and contacts the tubular body. The frame supports the heater unit. The guide member is on a side opposite the heater unit with the frame therebetween. The guide member includes a plurality of contact portions which are spaced from each other in a longitudinal direction that parallels an axial direction of the tubular body. A first contact portion is located in an end portion of the guide member. The second contact portion is located in a central portion of the guide member. The second contact portion has an effective heat transfer coefficient with respect to the tubular body that is less than that of the first contact portion with respect to the tubular body.
