ABSTRACT:
A needle burner apparatus is a generally rectangular box with a needle alignment plate located under the cover thereof. The interior of the box is provided with the electrode assembly, the drive assembly for horizontally rotating and horizontally reciprocating the electrode, the exhaust fan assembly and the container for collecting burned needle residue. The needle alignment plate is mounted to the underside of the cover of the box and is spring-biased upwardly. The electrode is a single rod element that is positioned horizontally in a carriage. The rod electrode is mounted for rotation along its horizontal axis and the carriage is also mounted for horizontal reciprocal motion. A drive motor effect the axial rotation of the electrode and, through a gearing assembly, the same drive motor also effects the horizontal reciprocal motion of the carriage. An exhaust fan with a charcoal filter treats any noxious fumes created by the burning or melting of the end of the needle before the fumes are exhausted from the interior of the needle burner assembly. A container is positioned below the electrode to collect any ashes or other residue created during the burning of the end of the needle.
