Abstract
An apparatus is described for filling notches in a notched workpiece with a soft filler material having a viscosity similar to glasses. The apparatus has a bottom portion which receives the notched workpiece and a top portion. The top portion has a lower surface adapted to apply a concentrated pressure in the direction of the bottom portion to enhance flow of the soft filler material into the notches when that material is inserted between the assembled top and bottom portions.
Claims15
An apparatus for filling notches provided in a notched workpiece with a soft filler material having a viscosity similar to glasses, comprising:
- a bottom portion having a groove for receiving and holding a workpiece having a notched top surface;
- and
- a top portion having a lower surface cooperating with said bottom portion and having at least one discrete location for applying a concentrated pressure to said soft filler material, said lower surface being positioned outside said notches in said workpiece when said workpiece is inserted in said groove, to enhance flow of said soft filler material into said notches when said top portion is assembled with said bottom portion with said soft filler material disposed therebetween.
An apparatus for filling a notched block of magnetic core material with a soft filler material having a viscosity similar to glasses, comprising:
- a bottom portion having at least one groove for receiving and holding at least one block of a magnetic transducer core material having a notched top surface;
- and
- a top portion cooperating with said bottom portion and having a serrated lower surface and a top surface having a selected weight substantially evenly distributed over said serrated lower surface, said serrated lower surface applying a concentrated pressure to said soft filler material and being positioned outside said notches in said block when said block is inserted in said groove and said top portion is assembled with said bottom portion with said soft filler material disposed therebetween, to enhance flow of said soft filler material into said notches.
