Patented June a, 1941 2,244,090 compasses wr'rir us'ramznp prnmcrm Eberhard 'lraub, Stuttgart, Germany, aasignor to Bosch Gueilschai' hrinkter Robert tmitbeac .IIaftung, Stuttgart, Germany Application July 6,1937. Serial No. 152,157 In Germany August 4, i936 14 Claims; (01. 115-41) This invention relates to condensers with metaliaed dielectric in which therefore no independent metal foil is used but for the making .of which a dielectric serves upon which the condenser covering is produced by spraying, rolling.

'in particular, however, by atomization (cathode atomization) or by the vaporization of metal or is otherwise directly produced. In such condensers contact difllculties easily result at the current connections, in particular when the condenser covering is very thin, for example if it is less than 0.002 mm. or 0.001 mm.

In such condensers in order to secure a lasting current connectionit has been proposed according to application Serial No. 22,072 that an edge of the dielectric provided with the metallic coveringis turned down 180 so that the metal covering will come on the outside. The contact for the current is attached to the turned down edges left free after the assembling. If such a condenser is constructed only of metalized dielectric then we shall have on the turned down edges a direct contact with the metalized surface of the adjacent layers of the same potential. However if we use besides the metalized also intermediate layers of non-metalized dielectric then measures must be taken if we wish to obtain a mutual contact of the adjacent layers of the same potential.

We may obtain a simple condenser structure according to the invention if we turn down not only the edge of the metalized dielectric layers but also the edge of the non-metalized dielectric layers, and that in such manner that the foldededges of the non-metalized dielectric layers will dielectric layers in considerably increased thickness. A-A indicates in the drawing the center line of the condenser. For the construction of the coil, in the embodiment shown, metalized paper is employed, especially paper which has received vaporized metal (zinc or cadmium for example) or has been metalized by cathode atomization. By a is designated the one and by b the other metalized paper strip. is the metal coating upon the strip a and d the metal coating upon the strip b. The metal coatings or coverings have a thickness of about 0.0001 mm. f and o are two non-metalized paper strips. The non-metalized paper strips are, Just like the metalized pa-.- per strips, turned down at one edge of the condenser by 180 and that in such a way that the turned down edges of the strips and a will lie within the turned down folds of the strips 0 and b.

On the front sides of the condenser on the turned down edges of the metal coverings c and d lying exposed to the outside is attached the connection for the current. It consists of a metal coating h which is specially produced by spraying thereupon. The metal covering it should not be too thick as otherwise it will be too brittle. It must be merely so thiclrisay 0.3 to 0.5 mm.) that a terminal wire can be soldered thereon. In the drawing 1' and 10 indicate the two connecting wires.

The individual coatings do not have in a radial direction, 'asis shown in the drawing for sake of clearness, an interval between one another but are rolled directly on one another.

In the example of the invention between the two metalized paper strips 0 and b only one non-metalized paper strip j and a is used respectively. If we use between the metalized dielectric coatings a plurality of non-metalized dielectric coatings then we turn down the edges of all non-metalized coatings and that in such fashion that the folded edges of the metalized coatings will overlap them.

' What is claimed is:
