Abstract
A carcinogenic free bar gun handle and method of producing a carcinogenic free bar gun handle where individual plates are molded, stacked on top of each other, and bonded using ultraviolet adhesive. Additional inlets and outlets are machined into the bonded bar gun handle. A series of embossed protrusions and corresponding embossed holes on the plates create machinal fits between the respective plates which increases the strength of the bar gun holder.
Claims5
A method of manufacturing a carcinogen-free bar gun handle comprising the follow steps:
- molding a first plate, molding a second plate, molding a third plate, molding a fourth plate, molding a fifth plate;
- inserting the first plate into a fixture;
- stacking the second plate onto the first plate with a layer of adhesive between the first and second plates;
- stacking the third plate onto the second plate with a layer of adhesive between the second and third plates;
- stacking the fourth plate onto the third plate with a layer of adhesive between the third and fourth plates;
- stacking the fifth plate onto the fourth plate with a layer of adhesive between the fourth and fifth plates;
- wherein the stacking of the second plate, the third plate, the fourth plate and the fifth plate onto the first plate occurs in the fixture while the first plate is inserted in the fixture;
- pressing the stacked plates, the pressing occurring following the stacking of each of the second, third, fourth and fifth plates, wherein the pressure exerted by the pressing of the stacked plates is in the range of 5 to 20 psi and wherein the duration of the pressing of the stacked plates is in the range of 1 to 5 minutes;
- releasing the pressure of the stacked plates;
- curing the adhesive;
- wherein all components are comprised of carcinogenic-free materials;
- wherein said adhesive is an ultraviolet curing adhesive with a curing wavelength in the range of 365 nm-405 nm and with a viscosity within the range of 80-300 centiPoise;
- and
- contouring the assembled carcinogen-free bar gun handle.

A method of manufacturing a bar gun handle comprising the following steps:
- molding at least two plates;
- stacking the at least two plates on top of one another with a layer of adhesive between the at least two plates;
- pressing the stacked at least two plates;
- curing the adhesive;
- said curing step further comprising enclosing the stacked at least two plates within a chamber and exposing the stacked at least two plates to ultraviolet light, wherein the stacked at least two plates are subjected to a plurality of exposures of ultraviolet light, the stacked at least two plates being rotated between each exposure within the plurality of exposures of ultraviolet light;
- wherein said at least two plates and said adhesive are BPA-free and wherein said adhesive is an ultraviolet curing adhesive having a wavelength in the range of 365 nm-405 nm and a viscosity within the range of 80-300 centiPoise;
- and
- contouring the assembled carcinogen-free bar gun handle.
