Abstract
A container for exothermic welding material can include a first receptacle with a first internal volume that contains welding material and a first opening into the first internal volume, and a second receptacle with a second internal volume that contains starting powder and a second opening into the second internal volume. The second receptacle can be removably secured to the first receptacle to form a unified assembly, with the first and second openings closed to separate the starting powder from the welding material.
Claims20
A container for exothermic welding material, comprising:
- a first receptacle that defines a first internal volume that contains welding material, and a first opening into the first internal volume;
- and
- a second receptacle that defines a second internal volume that contains starting powder, and a second opening into the second internal volume;
- the second receptacle being removably secured to the first receptacle to form a unified assembly, with the first and second openings closed to separate the starting powder from the welding material.
A method of manufacturing a container for exothermic welding material, comprising:
- filling welding material into a first internal volume of a first receptacle via a first opening defined at a first end of the first receptacle;
- closing the first opening to retain the welding material within the first receptacle by removably securing a first seal to the first receptacle;
- filling starting powder into a second internal volume of a second receptacle via a second opening defined at a second end of the second receptacle;
- closing the second opening to retain the starting powder within the second receptacle by removably securing a second seal to the second receptacle;
- and
- after closing the first and second openings, securing the first end of the first receptacle to the second end of the second receptacle to form a unified assembly.
A container for exothermic welding material, comprising:
- a first receptacle that defines a first volume, the first volume containing welding material;
- a second receptacle, including:
- a wall defining a cavity that contains starting powder;
- and
- a lid removably secured to the wall to, in cooperation with the wall, fully enclose the cavity;
- the second receptacle being removably secured to the first receptacle, to form a unified assembly.
