Patent ID: 10137519

Abstract:
A flux reservoir apparatus (100, 200) includes a stage (12) having a recessed portion (13) for reserving flux (51, 52, 53) therein and a flux pot (20) composed of an annular member having a through hole (30) through which the flux (51, 52, 53) flows, the flux pot arranged to move back and forth on the surface (14) of the stage (12) to feed the flux (51, 52, 53) into the recessed portion (13) and to smooth the surface of the flux (51, 52, 53), in which the through hole (30) is an elongated hexagonal hole with a length greater than the width of the recessed portion (13) in the direction perpendicular to the back-and-forth direction, and in which the bottom surface of a flux pot main body (21) is a chevron surface. This reduces leakage of the flux (51, 52, 53) in the flux reservoir apparatus (100, 200).
