5 Claims. (Cl. 201-63) The invention relates to a mounting for resistors.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a mounting for resistors on which the resistors may be quickly and easily assembled. Another object of the invention is .to provide a mounting for resistors which may be manufac-g tured at a minimum cost. Another object of the invention is to provide a mounting for resistors which is durable. Another object of the invention is to provide a mounting forl resistors so that the resistors may be mounted in a gang, thereby taking up a minimum amount of space in a radio cabinet or other apparatus in which the'resistors are used. Another object of the invention is to provide a convenient mounting for resistors in a gang whereby the resistors may be connected `in a great number of different circuits `with -great ease. Another `object of the invention is to provide a light weight gang resistor assembly adapted for ,a variety of uses. Another object of the-:invention is to provide a resistor adapted to b uickly Amonnted'on a support. Other object' will be in partobvious or in part pointed out hereinafter.
The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements,
and arrangements of parts, as will be exemplified in the structure to be hereinafter described, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the following claims.
In the accompanying drawing, in which is shown one of various possible embodiments of the mechanical features of this invention,
Figure 1 is an elevation of a single resistor before mounting,
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the resistor,
Figure 3 is4 a front elevation of a gang of resistors and the mounting therefor,
Figure 4 is a rear elevation ofthe mounting for the gang of resistors,
Figure 5 is a side elevation of the' gang of resistors and the support or mounting therefor,
and
Figure 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 3.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views of the drawing. g
Referring first to Figures 1 and 2, the resistor, indicated generally by the numeral 10, preferably consists of a rod or bar of porcelain or other insulating substance 11 having a capillary passage 12 through which extends a resistance conductor 13 embedded in metal end pieces 14, 14. The resistance conductor 13 preferably comprises aglass rod or filament covered with a conductive coating of high resistance material, such as carbon. The conductor 13 is in intimate instead of bakelite.
contact with the wall of the capillary passage 12, the diameter of the conductor being preferably as near to the diameter of the capillary pas-4 The metal end pieces 14, 14 are rigidly connected to the porcelain insulator rod 1l. This may be done by relating the rod and the projecting ends of the resistance conductor 13 which is supported by the rod 11 to a suitable mold, and molding the metal end pieces 14, 14 on said insulating rod 11, thereby completely embedding the resistance conductor 13, as is clearly shown in Figure 2. Preierably'the metal end pieces 14, 14 'are of readily moldable metal such as type metal, which in cooling contracts and rmly grips the ends of the porcelain rod 11 so as to form a firm and rigid body.
Formed on the molded metal end pieces 14, 14 on the sides thereof arel a pair of projections 15, 15 which are desirably cone shaped. The mechanical and electrical union between each tute at the same time conductors and connectors, and preferably are integral with the ` metal end pieces 14, 14.
Referring now to Figures 3, 4 and 5, I provide a rectangular sheet of insulating substance 16. Preferably this substance is bakelite or a phenolic condensation product which is strong, not brittle, has a high dielectric strength, and is not damaged by water or oil. One of the features of my invention is that the iinished gang of resistors may be given relatively hard usage without breaking. In accordance with certain features of my invention, other? substances such as hard rubber and sheet fiber might be used One of the advantages of having the rectangular sheet 16 of bakelite is that bakelite is impervious to moisture, and
. consequently the possibility of leakage of current between the projections l5, 15 along the insulating substance 16 in damp weather is thereby 'eliminated Along one edge of the sheetof insulating material 16 I punch a row of holes 17 of uniform size and diameter. Along the other side of the sheet 16. I punch another row of holes 18, likewise of uniform size and diameter. Any pair of holes 17 and 18 opposite each other preferably are the same distance apart as any other pair of holes 17 and 18 opposite each other, and the distance between any such pair 17 and 18 is the same as the distance between the projections 15, 15 of a resistor 10.
I provide a plurality of terminals 2 0 preferably made of sheet metal, such as of sheet brass coated with tin. Each terminal 20 has a generally circular portion 21 having a central hole of substantially the same size as the holes 17 and 18. Each terminal 20 further has a somewhat smaller generally circular portion 23 having a central hole 24. The portions 21 and 23 are connected by connecting portions 25 which may be gently curved to merge into the curve of the circular portions 21 and 23, as shown.
There is provided a number of terminals 20 equal to the total number of holes 17 and 1B, a-
A plurality of resistors l0 are now' mounted on the sheet 16 by placing the projecting portions 15, 15 in the tubular metal fasteners 26, one projection 15 of each resistor being placed in a fastener 26 in the row 17, and the other projection 15 of each resistor being placed in a fastener 26 in the row 18 opposite the firstnamed fastener. The projections 15, 15 are securely fastened in the tubular fasteners 26 and are, furthermore, electrically connected to them by inserting a drop of solder in each of the fasteners at the end opposite the resistors 10.
In opposite ends of the sheet 16 are holes 30 through which may be inserted screws to fasten the complete resistor gang in any electrical apparatus, such as in a radio cabinet or box.
Metal clips or connectors 32 consisting of a wire or strip of metal bent over at the ends may be now placed over the terminals 20, as illustrated in Figure 3. These connectors or clips 32 may be made in suitable lengths to include between them either two, three, four or any greater number, of the terminals 20. The connectors 32 are preferably fastened to the terminals 20 by soldering, thus making a good electrical union. The resistors l0 may be connected to any desired circuit in series, in parallel, or they may be connected to different circuits in a variety of ways. A wire conductor may be readily connected to a terminal 20 by placing the end of the wire through the hole 24 in the portion 23 of the terminal 20 and twisting it. The connections can be quickly made by reason of the advantageous construction described, and the entire unit is simple and easily handled.
It will thus be seen that there has been provided by this invention an apparatus in which the various objects hereinabove set forth, tcgether with many thoroughly practical advantages, are successfully achieved.
As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention, and as many changes might be made in the embodiment above set forth, it is to be understood that all matter `hereinbefore set forth, or shown in the accompanying drawing, is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
