, I 1 .This invention relates to an electrical unit and more particularly to an improved resistor having a body of selected vitreous material in which a resistance element is embedded in an improved manner and which is capable of withstanding high thermal shocks.
One object of the present invention is to provide an electrical unit, specifically a resistor. wherein the electrical element or resistance wire is embedded into its support body in an improved and more positive manner; and wherein the physical characteristics of the material of the support body exteriorly and interiorly of the resistance wire coil may be more properly correlated d controlled.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, and rst to the structural embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 5, it will be seen that the resistor, generally indicated at 2, is of cylindrical form and comprises a preformed inner body tube 4 formed of a selected vitreous material, such as boron-silicate glass, which has characteristics of high heat resistance, of low thermal expansion, and of electrical insulation. Around the inner tube 4 there is wound a resistance coil or element 6 having each coil winding spaced from the adjacent coii in uniform relationship. The resistance element is wound for substantially the full length of 'the inner body tube, in the structure shown.
At each end of the inner tube 4 is secured an electrical conducting metal band 8 which is electo an end coil winding of the resistance element B. The connection may be made in any suitable manner, but preferably is made by welding as set forth in the copending application 'of Harry A. Chanowitz, 601,902, Afiled June 27, 1945, now Patent No. 2,479,556 issued August 23, 1949. Each band 8 is in upstanding lugs III suitably welded together and arranged for'connection with the electrical apparatus with which the structure is to be used.
Formed over the inner tube 4 and the resistance element B in a manner presently to be described, is an outer coating I2 of selected vitreous material forming an outer body tube. The vitreous material of the outer coating I2 is preferably of the same constituency as that of the inner tube, for reasons presently to be explained, but of course may be of dierent constituency than the inner tube to afford a resistor unit of different physical and selected characteristics as required in any particular case. The outer coating I2 extends over the metal bands 8 to seal the resistance element 6 and the bands 8 in the resistor unit. The upstanding lugs I project through the outer coating l2, in the completed structure, as shown in Figure 1.
The resistor structure, as above described, may be fabricated, for example, in accordance with the preferred method of fabrication illustrated in Figures 2, 3 and 4.
A horizontally arranged mandrel I4 is provided with an end or lead portion I6 of a diameter smaller than its main body portion I8, said lead portion I6 being joined with the main portion I8 by a tapered section 2U. In fabricating the resistors, after the coils 6 and lugs 8 have been mounted on the inner sleeve bodies 4, one or more of the bodies are positioned onto an expansible braided ber glass sleeve 22,I as shown in Figure 2. The mandrel i4 is then moved endwise into the fiber glass sleeve 22, the tapered section 20 expanding the ber glass sleeve 22 so that the glass resistor bodies are rmly supported when positioned on the main mandrel portion I8. The fiber glass sleeve 22 is adapted to prevent deformation of the glass cylinder resistor bodies when subjected to heat in the application of the outer glass coating, and also affords a simple means for protecting the glass cylinders from breakage as they are moved on and oi the mandrel.
When the cylinders have been positioned onto the mandrel I4, the mandrel is moved into juxtaposition to a hopper 24, Figure 4, containing a selected powdered vitreous material 25, so as to Serial No.`
position the hopper above the mandrel. The hopper 24 is provided with an elongated opening in its bottom for discharge of the powdered vitreous material in a uniform spray onto the top surface of the glass cylinder. A torch 26, or other suitable heating means, is positioned in juxtaposition so as to effect the fusion of the powder onto the resistor in the form of an outer sleeve gncompas'sing the resistance coil 6 and inner glass ody.
More particularly, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, as the mandrel is rotated in a clockwise direction, and the powdered material sprayed onto the cylinders, and the heat of the torch applied, the
powdered glass material will be fused onto the inner cylinders 4 and the resistance coils 6 in the form of an encompassing glass sleeve I2 or outer body firmly bonded to the inner bodies and the resistance coils. By moving the mandrel longitudinally as it is rotated, the hopper 24 and the torch 26 will be in eiect moved along the mandrel axis, while keeping their related positions, whereby to form the outer body coatings progressively along the length of the inner resistor bodies.
The outer coatings I2 will also be fused onto the bands 8 and over the ends of the resistor bodies, with the terminal lugs I0 projecting through the coatings, as shown After the outer bodies or coatings I2 have been applied, as above described, the completed resistor structures may be readily removed from the mandrel, by withdrawing the mandrel from the fiber glass sleeve 22, as previously indicated.
It will be seen that by reason of the structure and methods thus provided, the vspaced coils of the resistance element 6 will be firmly embedded into the resistor body and held in position between the inner glass sleeve or body 4 and the outer glass sleeve or body l2, as perhaps best shown in Figure 4. The vitreous material of the outer sleeve fuses integrally with the vitreous material of the inner sleeve, thereby forming an integral support body into which the resistance coil is embedded. The outer coating or sleeve I2, when formed over the end of the resistor structure, as shown in Figure 4, produces an end seal for the resistance coil, and also provides a complete seal for the terminal bands 8 whereby to provide, as stated, an integral one piece body structure for the resistor. The fused coating or sleeve I2 forms itself tightly around the projecting lugs I0 whereby to effect a seal for the lugs and their associated bands.
As will be understood, the convolutions of the wire coil 6 may either be spaced, as heretofore described, or substantially in contact in instances wherein the convolutions are wound very closely together. In any event, and whether or not spaces are provided between the convolutions, the inner and outer glass sleeves 4 and I2 are fused together in that bothare fused to the coil 6 and thus are fused to each other through the intermediary of the coil, forming an integral fused structure. Preferably the resistance wire is provided with an insulating oxidized coating, this coating serving to insulate the convolutions from each other and also promoting the fusion between the glass and the wire in that the oxide of the wire fuses into the vitreous oxide material, and a strong and integral fused bond is obtained.
By employing the same material for forming the inner sleeve 4 and the outer sleeve I2, as above described, a homogeneous as well as integral body structure is provided, producing a desired parted thereto.
p `#patitiitem1'shock and possessed of otherk desirable operatingv characteristics., Byfprovidingtheinner and outer sleeves fof.differentselected-.materials, predetermined and different ,physical properties vmay be imp .In Figures 6 and:v ,'Tan V.arrangement shown for reducingthe size of: the lug projecting through `the fusedbodycoating, wA ile still providing a ;terminal of adequate size for y ready connection to electrical -arufaratus.withwhich the resistor iis to be associated.A Asshown, the resistor, generally indicated by the numeral 2a, in this instance comprises an' inner preformedy body or sleeve 4a,
a `resistance coil 6a, and an outer, fused sleeve or body |211, all arranged in the manner and for the purpose previously described in reference to the structurant-Figures -15.'
A terminal band 8a, functionally similar to the bands 8, previously described `but considerably `may be of preformed construction, and may be slipped over the lugs Illa by compressing the sleeve which increases its diameter due to its braided construction, as After the braided sleeve has been brought into position upon the fused sleeve 12a, it may be longitudinally expanded whereby to decrease its diameter and bring it into firm engagement with the fused sleeve.
After the braided sleeve 30 has been applied, as above, the relatively large terminal band 32 may be formed therearound, said larger band having upstanding lugs 34 welded together and to the lugs |a as best shown in Figure 7.
By this arrangement relatively large terminals 3l are provided for connection with the associated electrical apparatus, while at the same time only the smaller projections Ia extend through the fused sleeve, thereby promoting the insulating characteristics of the resistor body. Also, it will be seen that a, relatively longer resistance coil 6a may be provided, in respect to the length of the resistor, inasmuch as a smaller portion of the resistor length is taken up by the contact terminals, 32 over e the resistance coil Ea, as shown. If desired, the terminal band 32 may be applied directly to the fused sleeve Ia, but the use of the interposed ber glass sleeve 30 is preferred as it provides a rm and smooth base for attachment of the bands 32 to the resistor body. As will be understood, the combination of the bands 8a and 32 may be provided at opposite ends of the resistor as well as intermediate the length thereof, as may be desired. A three-terminal resistor, so arranged, is illustrated in Figure 9.
In Figure 8 a terminal structure is illustrated substantially similar to that described in reference to Figures 6 and 7 except that in this instance the smaller terminal band as indicated at 8b is somewhat wider, and the smaller and larger bands are positioned in longitudinal juxtaposition rather than in radial superposed relation. The bands are electrically interconnected by means of a welded or soldered wire 36, as shown.
In Figures 10 and ll an embodiment is illustrated showing the manner in which the principles of the present invention may be applied to a cylindrical type terminal contact.
In this instance the inner preformed vitreous will be understood..
viz., the relatively larger terminal bands extending "desvn body |chas the resistance wire coil Bc applied thereto, as in the embodiments previously described. Howevenin place of-thevband terminals, a metallic coating 40 is plated or otherwise metalized onto the reduced end 42 ofthe body `Icand up to and onto the lendl of thecoil 6c for electrical connection therewith. The fused glass outer body |2c is then applied to the resistor as previously described, forming a hermeticalseal for .the `resistor coil 6c and forv the end of the metalized cylindrical contact 40, and for the point ofconnection between the metalized contact and the resistance coil. An integral and moisturef proof structure is thereby provided.
It is obvious that various changes may be made in the specific embodiments set forth without departing from the spirit of the invention. The invention is accordingly not to be limited to the specific embodiments shown and described, but only as indicatedin thelollowing claims.
