18 Claims.
This invention relates to high voltage short wave capacitors and has for its object to provide a compact device of substantial capacity. Another object is to provide a capacitor of such type which is enclosed by a metal casing or shield which is insulated from the capacitor.
In design of high voltage short wave capacitors it has been common practice to use two or three armatures; but to obtain increased capacity without undue bulk while at the same time retaining the characteristics suitable for short wave work has been difllcult. This invention constitutes one solution of the problem.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section thru one embodiment of this invention, the portion to the left of the broken line being a section on the line AA of Fig. 2 while the portion to the right of the broken line is a section on the line B-B of Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a wiring diagram illustrating the circuit connections of the disclosed form of the invention.
Referring to the drawing a metal casing 10 is 25 provided with a removable metal cover 11 fastened to the casing by some usual form of securing means 12. Extending thru the cover are the terminals 13 and 14 each of which carries a horizontal armaturesupporting rod extending a 80 fraction of the length and centrally of the sides of the casing. The rod supported by the terminal 14 is designated by the numeral 15 at the right in Fig. 1 while the rod carried by the terminal 13 is designated as 17 at the left, in Fig. 1. Suspended from the rod 15 are a plurality of armature plates 16. Similarly suspended from the rod 17 are a number of armature plates 18. The terminals are formed integral with the plates below them, right, Fig. 1. In electrostatically cooperative relation with each of the foregoing armature plates 16 and 18, are floating armature plates 19. These floating armature plates 19 are suspended at their upper corners from two meta. rods 20 extending longitudinally of the casing but insulated therefrom and from rods l5, l7 and supported between opposite walls of the casing by the small inverted bowls 24 of pyrex or borosilicate glass, altho these insulators may be of any suitable structural insulating material. The two rods 20 are parallel with rods 15. 1'7 which in turn are in line with one another, Fig. 2. The insulators 21 and 22 around each terminal 13, 14 are preferably of the same material as the insulators 24 and are of similar shape and secured in place by means of cement 23 or in any other conven- (Cl. l75-41) ient manner. The insulators 24 are shown as being supported within guide grooves 25 formed on the inside of the casing so that no cement will be necessary for securing the insulators 24 in position when not desired. As shown in the drawing each of all the armature plates is secured in position on its own supporting rod by means of nuts threaded on to the rod. These nuts if desired may be of insulating material but they are preferably of metal in order to provide a good contact between the plates and their supporting rods.
The above spaced armature plates 16--17 and 1819 are encased in a combined dielectric and embedment, which is preferably sulphur poured in liquid form and cooled in any manner to lessen the likelihood of cracks forming, such as by the successive layer cooling method. Since the high potential armature plates are supported in suspension from the cover, a separate filling opening is desirable, as in a side of the casing, and after the embedment is cooled the small cover 2'7 is removably secured over this filling opening. Instead of the embedment described, a liquid dielectric such as oil may be employed in the construction illustrated.

together the remaining plates in the row in completely insulated condition as floating armatures; all whereby the metallic casing is insulated completely from the plate-row, and the floating armatures connect electrostatically in series the plates which are connected to the two insulated terminal leads.
18. The compact, high-capacity electrostatic condenser which includes a metallic casing formed with two terminal-lead-openings; a plurality of armature plates arranged in the casing in a row successively face to face in spaced apart relation; covers of structural insulating material for said lead-openings; two terminalleads extending thru said covers into the casing in positions adjacent different portions of the length of said plate-row; means connecting one of said leads to alternate plates in a portion of the row adjacent said first lead; means connecting the other lead to alternate plates in the portion of the row adjacent this second lead; means supporting the remaining alternate plates of the row in completely insulated condition as floating armatures in spaced relation to the plates connected to said leads, and connecting said plates electrostatically in series between the leads; a mass of sulfur supported by the casing and embedding said plate-row as a whole and filling the spaces between the individual plates as dielectric between the floating and the lead- 4 connected armatures; and structural insulating means inside the casing and supported thereby and supporting said means which supports the floating armatures.
