ABSTRACT:
A method of ultrasonic welding of plastic members to form a high strength interconnection between the members in the form of a low profile, illuminated electrical plug. High-frequency (ultrasonic) energy is transmitted by the ultrasonic welding apparatus to compatible plastic parts of the low profile electrical plug. At the intersection of the two parts, a combination of applied force and surface and/or intermolecular friction increases the temperature until the melting point of the thermoplastic is reached. Upon removal of the ultrasonic energy, a bond is produced between the plastic parts, effectively affixing them together in the desired fashion.
