ELEMENT FOR SINGEING APPARATUS.

ATTORNEY,
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
THEODORE F. HUSSA, OF MONTGLAIR, NEW JERSEY.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it-knownthat IYTHEODORE It IIussA, aocitizenjof the United States, residing at Montclair, in thercounty ofEssexcand State of NewJersey, have. invented certain new .and-useful .-Iinproyements in Elements for SingeingxApparatus, of whichthe following. is a spe'oification, reference being had therein. tov the .-.accompanying drawings, 10"
which format part-thereof.
- In singeingapparatus. used in the textile art, it is acommon practice to pass ind v dual threads on fabric, inclose juxtaposition to [t::fl3-1Illllg .element to remove the: fluff therefrom; In some. types of such apparatus-, the element. lconsists of suitable gas burners, :while in other types, platinum elements-brought to an incandescent state by -bei ng included in anz-electrical circuit, are employed With theluse of elements of the latter type, it is customary to cause a current of air to pass about the element to remove, theflnfi' or prevent its accumulating upon .the element itself.
5 Platinumelementsare .not only expensive to produce by reason ofthequantity of the metal necessarily incorporated in the element, but the renewal of these elements as the result of deterioration from continued use makes the upkeep of the apparatus expensive.
In view of these conditions there has been a persistent efiort to produce elements of metal other than platinum which may be brought to the desired state of incandescence to properly singethe threads or fabric, with an economy in current consumption which will make their use as a substitute for plati-' fabric being treated.
The invention consists primarily in an element for singeing apparatus consisting of an alloy of nickel and chromlum adapted to be readily brought to an incandescent Specification of Letters Patent.
; ELEMENT FOR smenrue APPARATUS,
state; and in such other novelcharacteristics as are hereinafter set forth andydescribed and more part1cularly pointed out 111'lJl1G I claims hereto appended.
Referring to the drawings I -Figure 1 is aside view, partly in section, of an elementfor use insingeingthreads; and
Fig. 2 is a perspecti'veview of an-element for use in singeing-fabrics.
FLike letters refer .to like parts in both views.
In the" embodiment of my invention shown in F ig. 1 of the drawings, a indicates a troughed section adjacent which the thread ispassed in removing fiufftherefrom." This element is provided at one end thereof with an lBXtBllSlOIl Z) adapted to be connected with one. electrical terminal, whichextension pro ects at substantlally right anglesto the trough aand is-substantially straight. At
the other end of said trough is all-extension expansion and contraction of;,the-trough a and avo1d', the, bulging of the trough while in use.
In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 2, the construction is as heretofore described, with the exception that instead of employing a trough a, I employ an arched plate 6,
,PatentedNov. 18,1919. .npplication filed January 15,1918; Serial No. 211,915.
this form of the invention being adapted for use in singeing fabric.
In both forms of the invention, the portion of the elements adjacent which the thread or fabric passes, and also preferably the extensions for connecting this portion with the electrical current, is made of an alloy of nickel and chromium which I have found in practice to be highly satisfactory in an element of this character.
This alloy, I have found, becomes incandescent with a voltage sufiiciently low to permit the use in the apparatus of a number of elements connected in series in an ordinary lighting circuit. There is no tend ency toward oxidation, and the repeated expansion and contraction thereof does not result in molecular disturbances resulting in heat checking, or the discharge of small particles of the metal when it is brought to incandescence.
I have found that the addition ot other metals to the alloy, such as iron, makes the alloy unsuitable for use as an element for singeing apparatus, it being necessary to use only commercially pure nickel and commercially pure chromium in order to provide an element which may be used .tor the purpose intended. The thickness of the extensions 7) and c of the element is such as to offer little or no resistance to the expansion of the trough portion a, or the arched por tion 0.
iVhile the voltage required to bring an element made in accordance with my invention to incandescencc is somewhat higher than with a platinum element, the amperage is lower. The current consumption, however, is somewhat higher with an element made in accordance with my invention than with a platinum element, but the difference does not exceed 20% and the additional expense of operation is not sutiiciently great to overcome other advantages, such as the original cost of installation and the reduced cost of upkeep as compared with a platinum element.
I am aware that an alloy consisting of chromium and nickel alone, or with other metals, is well known in the metallurgical art, but I believe that I am the first to discover that the use of an alloy consisting only of chromium and nickel in an element for a singeing apparatus, imparts to said apparatus characteristics highly desirable in securing an effective singeing of threads or fabric.
It is not my intention to limit the invention to the particular structural character istics shown in the accompanying drawings,
it being apparent that such may be varied without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
Having described the invention what I claim. as new and desire to have protected by Letters Patent is 1. An element for singeing apparatus consisting of an alloy of nickel and chromium adapted to be readily brought to an incandescent state.
2. An element for singeing apparatus consisting of a portion adapted to act upon the material to be singed, integral extensions at the opposite sides thereot projecting at substantially right angles thereto, one of said extensions having an inturncd portion extending substantially parallel with the portion operative upon the mate rial, said element being formed of an alloy of nickel and chromium adapted to be readily brought to an incandescent state.
3. An element for'singeing apparatus consisting of a trough section having integral extensions at opposite ends thereof projecting at substantially right angles thereto, one of said extensions being inturned and projecting substantially parallel with said trough, said trough and said extension being, formed of an alloy of nickel and chromium adapted to be readily brought to an incandescent state.
In witness whereof, I hereunto all'ix my signature. in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. this 19th day of December, 1917.
