A heat staking apparatus includes a workpiece support and a moveable support plate having a planar surface spaced from the workpiece support. A plurality of extensible components are supported on the support plate by holders that slideably engage the planar surface in a manner allowing horizontal adjustment in an infinite number of directions within a given area on the plane. The extensible components include staking tools configured to heat stake a workpiece located on the workpiece support. The hot staking apparatus further includes a plurality of adjustable hot air heater assemblies, one for each extensible cylinder. Each hot air assembly includes a holder adjustably secured to the support plate. The holder includes opposing members, one of which is spring-loaded for removably releasably engaging and holding the respective hot air heater assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In one aspect, the present invention includes a heat staking apparatus having a workpiece support and a support plate defining a plane spaced from the workpiece support.
A plurality of extensible components are supported on the support plate, at least one of the extensible components being adjustably supported on the support plate for movement in a plurality of directions along the plane.
The extensible components include staking tools configured to heat stake a workpiece located on the workpiece support.
By adjusting the at least one extensible component, the heat staking apparatus can be adjusted for use on similar parts, even though the parts are not identical.
Also, the heat stake apparatus can be readily adjusted on-site to accommodate product variations.
In another aspect, the hot staking apparatus includes a support plate, a hot air heater assembly, and a holder secured to the support plate.
The holder includes opposing members having surfaces configured to removably releasably engage and hold the hot air heater assembly.
The removability of the hot air heater assembly facilitates replacement and repair.
These and other features, advantages and objects of the present invention will be further understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art by reference to the following specification, claims and appended drawings.
