i Specification of Lettcrs latent.
Patented Feb. 1. 1921.
Application tiled November is, 1918. Serial No. 262.722.
7 '0 all whom it may concern:
Be itknown that I, CHARLES C. Anno'r'r. a citizen of thel nited States, residing at Pittsfield, county of Berkshire, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electric Heating Units. of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to-elctric heating elements of the type in which a resistance conductor is inclosed' in a metallic sheath ducing such a resistance element is to locate a straight resistance conductor. which may be called the core wire. centrally of a metallic tube which is to form the sheath and fill the tube with an insulating powder. such as magnesia. so as to completely embed and properly center the core wire. The ends of the tube are then plugged, suitable provision being made for the ends of the core wire which extend beyond the tube. and the 'tube is subjected to a reducing process. The result of this operation is the reduction of both the sheath and the core wire, with the consequent compacting of the insulating material. The arrangement is such that when the core wire is reduced to its desired size. the insulating material is so thoroughly compacted that it becomes practically a unit with the core wire and may be drawn or rolled like a solid metal. This element, being supplied with the proper terminals, constitutcs an cilicient heating unit since it is exceedingly rugged and requires no insulat ing support, the core wire being well insulated and protected from mechanical injury. Such a resistance elementnaturally has its limitations. since the space available for the heating element is not always suflicient to contain the length of conductor necessary to produ e the required resistance; This is particularly true where the element is to be used on a circuit of 220 v. or higher.
I have found that sheath wire having a helical or slllllOlls conductor instead of a straight core wire may be produced having all the advantages of the above described .straight conductor sheath wire in addition to advantages of its own. The principal advantage of this form of unit liesin the fact that a much greater length of core wire may be contained 111 a given. space so that the unit is much more compact and self contained and is readily adapted to *the higher voltages. without occupying increased space. There are other advantages, however, both from the standpoint of the manufacture and of the utility of the unit itself which are important. One ofthese advantages arises from the fact that the core wire is not reduced in diameter by the reduction of the sheath. Since the core wire is not drawn down, a of wire which is difficult to draw. but whlch may be more suitable, may be used. A greaterthickness' of insulating material which will give greater margin of safety to the electrical insulation may also be used since the core wire is not reduced, whereas in reducing straight core wire, it the thickness of the insulating material is above a certain maximum. the core wire \vill'not be drawn down properly. Furthermore the core wire retains its surface left by the drawing dies. and a smaller wire may be used than would be safe where it is drawn down in the tube. There are also certain other advantages. such as simplified terminal connections, greater latitude in thegrade and character of the metals used for the sheath.
In accordance with my invention, therefore, a sinuous or helical resistance elementis centrally located in a metallic sheath.
filled with powdered insulating material which is compacted to a high degree so as ,to form a very dense insulating body having relatively high heat conducting properties, so that the heat will be transmitted to the sheath at the greatest possible rate consistent with good electrical insulation, there-- by producing a mechanically rugged resistance element capable of embodying a high resistance in a relatively small space.
My invention will best be understood by reference to the. accompanying drawings in which-Figure 1 is a sectional view of the resistance conductor mounted in a tube ready for filling; Fig. 2 is an end view of the same; Fig. 3 is aview of the filled tube partially broken away to show the terminals; F 1g. 4 is a view showin the unit re duced; and Fig. 5 is a detail 0 the terminal- In the manufacture of sheath wire in accordance with my invention I form a sinuous resistance element which is preferably in the form of a helix, the material being a high resistance material such as nickelchromium allo This conductor is supported centrally of the tube 11 which may be of any desired metal capable of being drawn or swaged down. The helix when wound may be a closed helix but, when it is supported in the tube, it is stretched so as to separate the turns and at the same. time the tension will tend to keep the helix in a central position. In order to form enlarged tar minals, upon the helix and at the same time furnish a suitable support for the helix for 12; as shown in:=detail in Fig; 5.
the filling'and subsequent drawing opera-- tion, I mount each end of the helix on a rod This rod,
which is preferably of the same material as the core wire, soas to prevent any-galvanic action between the core and the terminals, is
provided with an enlarged upon which the helix fits. wire-is then wound onto the inclined surfacev ofthe head and on to the rod for a plointed head 13 short distance, theend being finally inserted 5 in a slot Min-the rod. The edges of the slot are then swaged over the end of the wire so as to make a good electrical contact and securely fix the end of the wire to'the terminal. The two ends of the helix are thus provided with terminal sup rts which are passed through holes in tin caps 15 and 16 which are fitted over the ends of the tube, the terminals being secured to the caps by set screws 17 and 18. The wire is preferably under tension, as above inted out, and is supported so that the he ix will be kept in its proper central position. The cap 15 is provided with a funnel 19 havin rforations 20 throu h which the insu ating material is pou into the tube. The insulating material employed is one which has the quality of compacting into a solid mass and at the same time has high electrical insulatirig properties and high heat conductivity. agneslum oxid is a suitable material for this purpose. When the tube is filled and the material somewhat compacted by some means, as for instance, by jarring or vibrating the sheath tube, the caps 15 and 16 are removed and the ends of the tube permanently closed. As shown, this is accomplished by means of metallic disks 21 and 22 over which the metal is bent, the ends of the terminals assin through the disk and being form into heads 23 and 24. The tube is'now in the condition shown in Fig. 3. The tube is now subjected to a reducing process which consists in passin it through a swaging or IOlllng machine. he amount heend ofthe.
'from the spirit of my invention,
of reduction necessary is not great since its purpose is largely to compact the powdered material around the helix, Ordinarily a reduction in diameter and consequent 13f"!- ening of the tube, such as is represen by the relative dimensions of the parts shown in Figs. and 3, will accomplish this purpose. I have found, for instance, that a tube having an outside diameter of g" and an internal diameter of when properly reduced will have an outside diameter of and an elongation of about 15%.
Que of the results obtained by such a reducing process is that the electrical resistance of the resistance conductor decreases to a certain extent and this was found to found that there is a direct relation between the decreased reslstance and the increase in the length of the tube, that is, the-ratio between the resistance of the helix before swagmg and after swagingis equal to the ratio between the length of the tube after swaging and before swa 'ng. The reason i for this seems to be that since the number of turns of the helix remains the same, while the diameter of the helix is decreased, the
length of each turn is also decreased. The helix is not materially extended by drawing it out so asv to se pressing the helix. without-substantial movement of the helix with ref'eiehc'e to the surrounding insulation. The insulating material is thus very thoroughly'compacted all around the helix. It is, therefore, ssible to determine very accurately just w at the resistance of the helix will be upon a given reduction, or to put it in another way, it is possible to determine just when a certain resistance is reached by measuring the length of the tube. When the tube is properly reduced, the sheath and insulating material are cut away so as to expose the terminal for some length, as shown in Fig. 4, and the unit is then ready for use.
While I have described my invention as embodied in concrete form in accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, it should be understood that I do not limit my Invention thereto, since various modifications thereof will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art without departing the scope of which is set forth in the annexed claims.
