Zero contact screw and ergonomic housing portioning device

A method for securing essentially zero contact multiple screw-screw housing units together in a vacuum filler linked to a vacuum filler operator, each having a discharge end, the method comprising the steps of placing the multiple screw unit inside the screw housing so that the discharge end of the multiple screw unit is in close proximity to the discharge end of the screw housing unit, wherein the units are dimensioned so that the inner surface of the screw housing and the outer surface of the multiple screw unit are substantially matched throughout the parallel dimensions of the two so that any contact is eliminated or substantially reduced when the discharge end of the multiple screw unit is centered and secured by a multi-prong support segment, the multiple screw unit having holes at the discharge end and the screw housing having notches or securement points also at the discharge end of the screw housing,

• attaching a multi-prong support segment at the discharge end of the multiple screw unit and screw housing to connect and secure the multiple screw unit to the screw housing to support and space the multiple screw unit apart from the surrounding screw housing when in use in a configuration to reduce or eliminate contact between the outer diameter of the multiple screw unit and the inner diameter of the screw housing, the multi-prong support segment comprising at least a first section with first and second halves configured to fit into notches or securement points located at opposite segments of the discharge end of the screw housing, and at least a second section having first and second halves, the second section defining holes for the insertion of fasteners, such as a shouldered bolts, the fasteners being configured to be secured through one of the holes of the multi-prong support segment and into a mated hole in the discharge end of each of the multiple screw units.
