Plastic, heated water container for tape machines
| Details |
Inventors: Hill, Forrest G.;
Assignee: The Marsh Stencil Machine Co. (Belleville, IL)

A plastic, heated water tank for gummed tape dispensing machines that resists corrosion, is easy to clean, reduces the likelihood of burning the user, and yet affords good heat transfer from an external heating element into the water in the tank. It provides as an insert in the plastic tank a tubular metal heat transmission member with special sealing means between the plastic and the ends of the metal member. The sealing means prevent leakage from the container around the ends of the metal member that could result from differences in expansion rates of the plastic and the metal. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
In a tank for a tape dispensing machine or the like: the tank being adapted to hold liquid, and to engage a heating element that is external to the tank device to heat the liquid; the tank being of plastic material of relatively low heat conductivity; and a metal member of relatively high heat conductivity molded into the plastic tank, the metal member being in the lower part of the tank so as to be below the liquid level thereof, and constituting a wall portion for the tank exposed on one side to the interior of the tank and on the other side to the exterior thereof, and means including embedding of an end of the wall portion in the plastic to prevent leakage from the tank around the end of the metal wall portion, the plastic extending continuously around the edge of the metal member, the plastic and the metal member having interengaging surfaces at said end affording resistance to relative movement in all directions, between the plastic and the metal, to avoid separation of the metal member and the plastic that could permit leakage.
2.
In the tank of claim 1, the metal member having at least one groove filled by the plastic in one surface of the metal, and the plastic also extending around to be disposed against the opposite side of the metal member.
3.
In the tank of claim 1, the metal member extending across the lower part of the tank and being embedded in the plastic at its opposite ends, with its intermediate parts exposed internally and externally of the tank; the plastic extending continuously around both ends of the metal member and both ends of the metal member having the aforesaid interengaging surfaces with the plastic.
4.
In the tank of claim 3: the metal member being tubular, and the plastic at the ends of the member surrounding the member but leaving at least one of the member open so that the metal member can fit over the heating element.
5.
In the tank of claim 4: both ends of the metal member being open, and being similarly interengaged with the plastic
