Abstract

A method for forming a tool 10 and a tool 10 which is comprised of several selectively coupled sectional members, such as members 12, 16 , which are placed upon a heat resistant surface 20 . A sealing material 24 , such as copper in a solid molecular state, is placed around the periphery of the tool 10 . The copper in a solid molecular state 24 , the heat resistant surface 20 , and the tool 10 are placed within a heat source which transforms the copper in a solid molecular state 24 into liquid which flows within the gaps, such as gap 41 and within knife edges 26, 28 which exists within the tool 10 . After the copper 24 cools, the cooper 24 reinforces and strengthens the tool 10.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A tool comprising at least a first and at least a second section, said at least second section being coupled to said at least first section; and sealing material which is resident between said previously coupled sections.  
     
     
         2 . The tool of  claim 1  wherein said sealing material comprises copper.  
     
     
         3 . The tool of  claim 1  wherein said sealing material comprises bronze.  
     
     
         4 . A tool made by the process of creating a first member of a certain shape; creating a second member of a certain shape; registering the first member with the second member; attaching said second member to said first member; providing a certain material; placing the certain material in close proximity to said first and second coupled members; and heating said first and second members and said certain material, effective to cause said certain material to flow between said first and second member, thereby forming a tool.  
     
     
         5 . The tool of  claim 4 , wherein said certain material comprises of copper.  
     
     
         6 . The tool of  claim 4 , wherein said certain material comprises of bronze.  
     
     
         7 . A method for creating a tool comprising the steps of: 
 forming a first member having a certain shape;    forming a second member having a certain shape;    attaching said first member to said second member;    placing said attached first and second members on a surface;    disposing a certain material around the periphery of said attached first and second members;    placing said surface, said attached first and second members, and said certain material in a heat source which provides a certain temperature for a predetermined amount of time; and    removing said attached first and second members from said heat source, effective to form a relatively strong laminated tool.    
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein said step of placing said attached first and second members on a surface further comprises the step of providing a surface which is heat resistant.  
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein said step of disposing a certain material around the periphery of said attached first and second members further comprises the step of providing a certain material which comprises a molecular structure which allows said certain material to have a lower melting point than the material of said first and said second members.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein said step of disposing a certain material around the periphery of said attached first and second members further comprises the step of calculating the amount of said certain material needed by summing the volume of gaps occurring within the tool.  
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein said step of placing said surface, said attached first and second members, and said certain material in a heat source which provides a certain temperature for a predetermined amount of time further comprises the step of providing a heat source which is capable of generating a sufficient level of heat to transform said certain material from a solid molecular state to a liquid molecular state.  
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein said step of removing said attached first and second members from said heat source further comprises the step of allowing said first and second attached members to cool before utilizing said laminated tool.
