Abstract
A hand-held, trigger-actuated gun heats solder to be removed from a workpiece and sucks the molten solder from a hollow tip through a small-diameter suction tube into a larger-diameter chamber from which it may be removed at intervals through a discharge tube. The tip placed in contact with the solder is heated by a heater of the type used in soldering irons. A cylinder communicates with the chamber in such manner that solder is not drawn into the cylinder. The piston in the cylinder is actuated either by a solenoid energized when the trigger is pulled or by a mechanical linkage connected to the trigger.
