ABSTRACT:
The soldering apparatus of the invention includes a soldering wire feeding mechanism for feeding soldering wire from a storage spool. The soldering wire feeding mechanism includes a motor which drives a feeding wheel for engaging and transporting the soldering wire into a flexible feeding tube. An eccentric adjusting cylinder is mounted adjacent the wheel and can be turned to fit the diameter of the soldering wire being used. The feeding tube connects to the soldering iron of the invention, which has a metal guide tube through which the soldering wire extends and is fed to the soldering area. The soldering wire travels from the feeding tube to the guide tube through a sleeve to which both tubes are threaded. The free end section of the guide tube adjacent to the tip of the soldering iron extends rectilinearly from a bend or curve such that the soldering wire leaving the tube is rectilinear and not bent. Inside the guide tube is a tube shaped guide member of polytetrafluorethylene, which guide member has at least one bead determining the inner diameter or clearance needed for optimally guiding the soldering wire. This inner diameter can be adjusted to fit the diameter of a given soldering wire or the guide tube can be replaced with a guide tube which fits. In one embodiment the guide member has two beads, a first adjacent the free end of the guide tube and a second spaced apart from the first and inside the rectilinear section of the guide tube.
