ABSTRACT Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Heat Sealing Thermoplastics Straps Apparatus and methods for heat sealing thermoplastics strap material comprising a portable tool adapted to receive two sections of strap material which are to be welded together and having a heating element, means for moving the heating element betwen the straps and a battery source for supplying heating current to the heating element. A control circuit detects the battery voltage on load, and a drive circuit controls the movement of the heating element between the straps, to control the speed of the heating element in dependence on the detected voltage level, to compensate for decreasing battery voltage. The battery source is mountd in or on the tool housing for portability. The heating element is mounted on a carriage assembly mounted for reciprocal motion between the two straps and driven by an electric motor. A shaft encoder associated with the carriage drive generates electrical pulses the frequency of which is proportional to the speed, and the number of which is proportional to the distance moved by the carriage. Switch means is employed for turning the heating current on and off and is actuated by the presence of the heater carriage assembly at particular positions along the carriage assembly path, determined by microswitches or counting the pulses from the encoder.
