Abstract
534,952. Welding and jointing glass ; uniting metal to vitreous material. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd., BREADNER, R. L., and SIMMS, C. H. Dec. 18, 1939, No. 32432. [Class 56] [Also in Group XXXVI] A method of sealing a side tube to a vitreous envelope consists in supporting the tube with one end close to the envelope, heating the portion of the envelope to which the tube is to be sealed causing contact between the end of the tube and the heated portion, and then forming a hole through the heated position within the side tube by establishing a difference of pressure between one side of the heated portion and the other. When the side tube 1, Fig. 1, is of vitreous material, its lower end is closed and the open end 3 is arranged close to and below the horizontal envelope 4. The portion 5 of the envelope is heated by a small blow pipe 11 introduced into the envelope, and the heated portion sags down and closes the open end 3 of the tube. Further heating causes the pressure within the tube to blow a hole through the portion 5, and the hole enlarges to the internal diameter of the tube 1. When the side tube 10, Fig. 2, is of metal, is is supported in a guide which allows it to be moved axially to and from the envelope 4 The portion 5 of the envelope is heated, and when the glass is soft the tube is forced into it. Suction is then applied to the interior of the tube 10 through an aperture, or through an extension tube 7, to form the hole in the heated portion 5. The glass at the edge of the hole unites with the interior of the tube 10 to form a seal 9. Electric conductors may be introduced into the envelope through the tube 7.
