Abstract
Abstract An electrically heated spray nozzle, such as for spraying plastics, includes a highly compressed tubular heating body wound about a spray nozzle as a plurality of coil windings. The heating body has a tubular steel inner jacket containing a pair of spaced electric heating elements embedded in a high compressed powdered insulating material. A copper outer jacket encases the inner jacket and a hard solder connection joint as least as broad as the diameter of the outer jacket connects the outer jacket and hence the heating body to the nozzle. The number of coil windings per unit length of nozzle body is larger near the ends of the nozzle than near its middle. A steel wear-resistant lining may cover the surface of the nozzle bore.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A method for the production of an electrically heated spray nozzle comprising the steps of: providing a spray nozzle; providing an electric heating line including providing a pair of spaced electric heating elements imbedded in a powdered insulation material in a tubular steel inner jacket; rolling a copper outer jacket onto said inner jacket to form a tubular heating body; simultaneously compressing said tubular heating body; coiling said tubular heating body onto said spray nozzle; and, soldering said outer jacket, by a hard solder connection joint, to said spray nozzle as a plurality of coil windings along the length of the nozzle thereby securing said heating body to said spray nozzle, wherein said connection joint is at least as broad as the diameter of said outer jacket.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
127 words
A method for the production of an electrically heated spray nozzle comprising the steps of: providing a spray nozzle; providing an electric heating line including providing a pair of spaced electric heating elements imbedded in a powdered insulation material in a tubular steel inner jacket; rolling a copper outer jacket onto said inner jacket to form a tubular heating body; simultaneously compressing said tubular heating body; coiling said tubular heating body onto said spray nozzle; and, soldering said outer jacket, by a hard solder connection joint, to said spray nozzle as a plurality of coil windings along the length of the nozzle thereby securing said heating body to said spray nozzle, wherein said connection joint is at least as broad as the diameter of said outer jacket.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of providing more coil windings per unit length of said spray nozzle at the ends of said spray nozzle than in a center portion of said nozzle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
117 words
An electrically heated spray nozzle for spraying plastics and the like, comprising: a highly compressed tubular heating body coiled around a spray nozzle as a plurality of coil windings along the length of the nozzle, said heating body comprising: a steel inner jacket provided on said heating body and containing a heating line including a pair of spaced electric heating elements imbedded in a highly compressed powdered insulating material, a copper outer jacket encasing said inner jacket, said outer jacket also resisting melting; and, a hard solder connection joint connecting said outer jacket, and hence said heating body to said spray nozzle, said connection joint being at least as broad as the diameter of said outer jacket.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
117 words
An electrically heated spray nozzle for spraying plastics and the like, comprising: a highly compressed tubular heating body coiled around a spray nozzle as a plurality of coil windings along the length of the nozzle, said heating body comprising: a steel inner jacket provided on said heating body and containing a heating line including a pair of spaced electric heating elements imbedded in a highly compressed powdered insulating material, a copper outer jacket encasing said inner jacket, said outer jacket also resisting melting; and, a hard solder connection joint connecting said outer jacket, and hence said heating body to said spray nozzle, said connection joint being at least as broad as the diameter of said outer jacket.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
The spray nozzle of claim 3 wherein the number of coil windings per unit length of said nozzle body is larger near the ends of said nozzle body than near its middle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The spray nozzle of claim 3 wherein said nozzle body is provided with an inner lining covering the surface of the nozzle bore.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The spray nozzle of claim 5 wherein said inner lining is made of a highly wear resistant material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
11 words
The spray nozzle of claim 6 wherein said material includes steel.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
30 words
The spray nozzle of claim 3 wherein said solder connection joint includes two broad solder seams to allow for efficient heat transfer between said heating body and said spray nozzle.
