Title: Theodore J. Morin and His Solder Pot Invention.

Introduction

Theodore J. Morin is an inventor associated with New Canaan, Connecticut, and Thermatool Corporation. His patent work includes an apparatus designed to manage molten solder, replenish its supply, and remove dross.

Latest Patents

Morin’s listed patent is “Solder Pot with Replenisher and Skimmer.” It describes a tank divided into two sections by a low-heat-conductivity wall with openings below the molten solder level. Separately controlled heating elements allow the second section to melt solder ingots rapidly while limiting the effect on the solder temperature in the first section.

The apparatus also uses a ramp and a powered skimmer. The skimmer stirs the solder in the first section and pushes dross over the ramp into the second section. A surface-level sensor in the second section signals an ingot feeder, which replenishes the solder as needed. Morin is credited with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Morin’s documented patent contribution focuses on improving solder-pot operation through separate heating zones, dross removal, and sensor-controlled replenishment. The listed company associated with his work is Thermatool Corporation.
