Abstract
Automatic apparatus for the treatment of the links of metallic chains which comprises, in operative sequence: means for the automatic application of soldering powder to the chains being treated; means for the automatic removal of the excess of soldering powder applied to said chains; and means for the automatic application of a powder which isolates each chain link from the next during the soldering operation. The application and removal means also have the function of movable guide means for the chains being treated.
Claims6
Automatic apparatus for the treatment of links of metallic chains, said apparatus comprising, in operative sequence:
- means for the automatic application, by shaking, of the soldering powder to one or more chains being treated;
- means for the automatic removal, by shaking, of the excess of the powder thus applied so that there remains, retained in the interstices of the individual links, only the quantity necessary for the subsequent soldering;
- and means for the automatic application, by shaking, of an isolating powder, such as talcum or the like, as to isolate the links one with respect to the other, said application and removal means comprising movable brackets shaking said chains and at the same time guiding them in a mixed transversal and longitudinal movement in an almost horizontal plane.
