UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MANUFACTURE OF ELECTRON DISCHARGE DEVICES Application March 2'7, 1935, Serial No. 13,232 6 Claims. (01. 250-27.5)
This invention relates to the manufacture of electron discharge devices and more particularly to the manufacture of such devices including a plurality of coaxial electrodes and particularly suitable for the generation of ultra-high frequency impulses.
In electron discharge devices of the type commonly known as Barkhausen oscillators, the anode or output electrode may be a helical grid disposed between a linear cathode and a cylindrical reflecting electrode and coaxial therewith. The leading-in conductors for the output electrode, which may also serve as the supports for this electrode, preferably are sealed in the enclosing vessel at points remote from the leadingin conductors for the cathode and the reflecting electrode. In such construction, it is exceeding- 7 1y diflicult, without using complex supporting and spacing assemblies, to mountthe output electrode in uniform space relation to the other electrodes inasmuch as it is difficult to hold the output electrode in the desired position while the supports therefor are being sealed into the enclosing vessel and to accurately gauge the clearances between the output electrode and the oathode and between the output electrode and the reflecting electrode of the device.
One object of this invention is to accurately position an electrode in an electron discharge device with reference to other electrodes of the device. Another object of this invention is to expedite the fabrication of electron discharge devices ineluding a plurality of electrodes disposed one within another.
In accordance with this inventiomthe cathode and the reflecting electroderof a Barkhausen oscillator, or other device ofsimilar design, are mounted upon a press and the output electrode, which may be a helical grid having supporting .members secured to opposite ends thereof, is mounted within a central bore of a tubular spacer .member having a cylindrical surface coaxial with the helical grid and of the same diameter as the inner diameter of the cylindrical reflecting electrode. The spacer member, with the grid therein, is inserted'into the reflecting electrode, and the stem and the electrodes mounted thereon are inserted into the enclosing vessel, the supports for the grid extending through apertures in the vessel. The stem and the supports for the grid are then sealed to the enclosing vessel. Subsequently, the spacer member is withdrawn through a tubular extension on the enclosing vessel and thisextension is then sealed.
Inasmuch as the spacer member may be made to exact dimensions, the helical grid may be positioned accurately with respect to the reflecting electrode and the cathode. The relative positioning of the grid with respect to the other electrodes is accurately maintained during the sealing-in of the grid supports so that in the completed device the several electrodes will be in the desired space relation.
The invention and the features thereof will be understood more clearly and fully from the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: V
Fig. l is a perspective view of an electron discharge device illustrative of the type comprebended by this invention, a portion of the enclosing vessel being broken away, to show the internal elements more clearly;
Fig. 2 is a view partly in cross-section of the device illustrated in Fig. 1 showing the disposition of the elements prior to the sealing of the stem and the output electrode supports to the enclosing vessel;
Fig. 3 is an end view'of a spacer member utilized in the fabrication of the device as shown in Fig. 2, in accordance with this invention; and
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the spacer member along line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Referring now to the drawings, the electron discharge device shown in Fig. 1 is of the type commonly known as a Barkhausen oscillator and comprises an enclosing vessel I0 having a stem H which terminates in a tri-armed press l2. A pair of rigid bent Wires l3 are embedded in two :arms of the press l2 and have secured thereto ,35
flexible J-shaped metallic members M which sup- "port a linear cathode i5, for example, a thoriated tungsten filament. The heating current for the cathode l5 may be supplied through conductors I55 connected to the rigid wires 13.
The cathode I5 is disposed within and coaxial with a cylindrical reflecting electrode I! which may have a slit it and a longitudinal flange l8. The reflecting electrode H is supported from a rigid metallic support or rod l9, embedded in the remaining arm of the press H, by L-shaped wires 29 which are suitably affixed to the support or rod 19, as by welding. The L-shaped wires 20 may be affixed to the flange l8 by welding, together with a linear wire 2! which serves to reinforce the flange l8 and also to provide a sufiiciently long conductive path for the welding operation. A suitable potential may be applied to the reflecting electrode I'i through a conductor 22 connected to the rod l9.
Disposed about the cathode I5 is an output electrode, which may be a helical wire grid 23 coaxial with the cathode I5 and the reflecting electrode l1 and having integral extensions 24 secured to rigid metallic supports 25 sealed in the end of the enclosing vessel l remote from the stem l I.
In devices adapted for operation at ultra-high frequencies, it is essential that the electrode spacings be very small and that the electrodes be uniformly spaced. Although such uniform and small spacing might be obtained by the use of a complex supporting structure, such structure would introduce objectionable capacitative and inductive factors of appreciable magnitude in the electrode system. If such structure is not used, great difficulty is experienced in positioning the output electrode accurately with respect to the other electrodes.
In accordance with this invention, these difilculties are overcome Without introducing any undesirable capacitative and inductive factors into the electrode system. To this end, the output electrode is positioned and held in accurate relation to the other electrodes during the fabrication of the device, by a spacer member which may be removed from the enclosing vessel prior to the evacuation and sealing thereof.
In one form illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, a bifurcated spacer member, which may be machined from a single piece of metal, comprises two substantially semi-cylindrical portions 26 having an enlarged portion 21 at one end and joined by a web 28. The enlarged portion may be provided with threaded taps 3|. The two semi-cylindrical portions are spaced to form an elongated slot or groove 29 and a substantially cylindrical cavity 30 of the same diameter as the outer diameter of the helical grid 23. The outer diameter of the portions 26 is equal 'to the inner diameter of the reflecting electrode l1.
In the fabrication of the device in accordance with this invention, the reflecting electrode l1 and the cathode are mounted on the stem H. The helical grid 23 is then inserted into the cavity 3!} of the spacer member with the extensions 24 passing through the slit 29. The extensions are secured to the conductors 25, which have glass beads 32 thereon. The spacer member, with the grid therein, is then inserted into the reflecting electrode ll, the extensions 24 of the helical grid 23 passing through the slit 40 in the reflecting electrode Ill and the lower slot 29 in the spacer member permitting passage of the assembly over the support I4 of the cathode. The stem with the assembly thereon is then inserted into the enclosing vessel ID, as shown in Fig. 2, with the beads 32 positioned in tubulatures 34 on the vessel l0 and the electrodes substantially in axial alignment with another tubulature 35 on the side of the enclosing vessel. The stem H is sealed to the enclosing vessel ID by fusing and the tubulatures 34 are fused to the beads 32. Subsequently, the spacer member is withdrawn through the tubulature 35, as by a rod 36 which may be threaded into the taps 3|, and the tubulature 35 is sealed by fusing.
It will be noted that during the sealing of the stem H and the conductors 25 to the enclosing vessel, the grid 23 is maintained in proper spacial relation to the reflecting electrode l1 and the cathode 15 so that any shrinkage which may occur at the seals cannot alter the space relation of the electrodes. As a result, the desired accurate spacing of the electrodes in the completed device is attained.
Although a specific design of spacer member has been shown and described and one specific illustration of practicing the method in ac- 5 cordance with this invention has been set forth, it is to be understood, of course, that the invention is applicable to the fabrication of devices of constructions specifically different from that shown and that modifications may be made in the spacer and the method described without departing from the scope and spirit of this invention as defined in the appended claims.
