A housing member also having a hollow interior attaches to the top of the base. The housing member further includes an opening at its top. A threaded socket is fitted in the base so as to accept a heating element which is oriented vertically within the hollow interior of the combined base and housing member. The heating element includes a threaded connector positioned near the opening in the top of the housing and accepts a threaded solder container. The solder container attaches to the top of the heating element and is positioned above the opening in the housing. The heating element includes an internal thermal conducting member located within a tube with an appropriate socket connector on the tube so as to connect to the socket in the base. A monolithic burnt ceramic heater is positioned within a cavity in the thermal conducting member. A resistance element integrally formed in the ceramic element is electrically connected to the socket whereby heat passes from the resistance element to the thermal conducting member and then to the solder container.Field of SearchBrazzing or solderingWith heated casing Coil or loop-type heating element Integral with tip Detachable tip Threaded Crucible or furnace type (i.e., adapted to hold meltable material) Melting pot With protection means for heating unit or switch With current or voltage control means With significant heating unit structure or composition Container comprises resistance heating element With heat storage or transfer means Housing, casing, or support insertable into material or space to be heated (e.g., immersion type) With temperature or current control means Adjustable Heating element structure | |
