METHOD OF ATTACHING AN ANVIL TO. BRACKET OF THE ASSEMBLY (CROSS-REPERENCE TO RELATED "APPLICATIONS, [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/347,618 fled on May 24, 2010, the ‘entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein BACKGROUND [0002] Ultrasonic welding devices have been utilize. However, when a contact portion of an ultasonie welding ‘anvil becomes degraded, the arwl is thrown avay and a new ‘welding anvil is utilized. A problem with this approach sthat the ultrasonic welding aunls are relatively expensive, 10003] Accordingly, the inventors herein have recognized & need Tor an improved ilirwoaic welding assembly and method that reduces the shove mentioned deficiency. SUMMARY, 10003} An ultrasonic welding assembly in aecontance with an exemplary embodiment is provided, The ultrasonic weld- ing assembly includes an ultrasonic hor and an aavi having first, second, and third plate portion. The fist and second plate portions extend generally parallel to one another. The thind plate portion is coupled between the first and second plate portions. The first, second, and thint plate portions define frst and second sides. The first plate portion has a first Knurled region on the fist side disposed proximate to the ultrisonie born. The secon plate portion has a second knurled region on the second side. The third plate portion has ‘fis aperture extending therethrough, The ultrasonic weld- Jing assembly fuer includes a brackot configured to receive the second side ofthe anvil for holding the avi thereon, The bracket has a second aperture extending therethrough that aligns with the first aperture, such that a coupling member ‘extending through the frst and second apertures removably ‘couples the anvil to the bracket 10005] A method for attaching an anvil to bracket of ua lltasonie welding assembly in aeeordance with another ‘exemplary embodiment is provided. The anvil has fist, see ‘ond, and third plate portions The fst and second plate por tions extend generally parallel one another. The thin plate portion iscoupled between the frst and second plate portions. “The first, second, and third plate portions define first and second sides. Te ist plate portion has first knurled region ‘on the first side, and the second plate portion has u second, knurled region on the second side. The third plate portion has ‘frst aperture extending therethrough. The method includes,
