MEANS TO APPLY VIBRATORY SOLID-STATE BONDING ENERGY (E.G.,ULTRASONIC, ETC.) TO WORK:
(under the class definition) Device for subjecting work to an oscillation having a cyclic frequency within or above that of audible sound, which oscillation is disclosed as effecting fusion-bonding by a scrubbing type action of two work parts in intimate contact thereby tending to disrupt any bond inhibiting substances therebetween.
