Patent ID: 7834298

Claim:
An inductive sealing unit, comprising: a conductive coil assembly comprising: (i) at least two sections, at least one of which is adjustable with respect to the other, (ii) each of said sections having a magnetic flux concentrator associated therewith, said sections are spaced apart to form a recess having dimensions for receiving at least a portion of an object therein, said sections being moveably adjustable in relation to each other to change the dimensions of said recess to accommodate reception of different size objects to be sealed in said recess by an electromagnetic field (iii) a flexible conductive coil looping between said sections and being disposed with respect to said concentrators to provide said electromagnetic field which induces heat sufficient to seal the object and (iv) a bridging section of said coil extending between said sections so that said bridging section of said coil is positioned away from said magnetic flux concentrators of said sections, across a width of said recess, said bridging section of said coil flexing or bending to displace the bridging section of said coil to facilitate changing the dimensions of said recess.
