3 Claims.
This invention relates to electric resistance space heaters in which electrical heating elements cover one side of glass plates, and more particularly to the electrical terminals for such heaters.
In such a heater a very thin layer of a suitable electrical resistance material adhering to a glass plate forms a heating element strip, and wires are fastened to the opposite ends of the element so that it can be connected in an electric circuit. Attachment of the wires to the heating element has provided quite a problem. It is diflicult, especially for the customer, to solder the wires to the film-like resistance element. Originally it was the practice to spray a coating of a solderable metal, such as copper or brass or zinc, onto the ends of the resistance element where it was desired to attach wires. This coating was then tinned in the ordinary manner and the wires soldered to it, but the connection was not satis factory. It was weak structurally, and it was diflicult to make a good joint and yet avoid overheating the glass plate. Also, due to the repeated heating and cooling of the glass and copper wires and the resulting expansion and contraction of them, the solder would weaken and the wires would pull loose from the heating element. Other attempts have been made to solve the problem, but they too have not proved very satisfactory.
It is among the objects of this invention to provide in an electric resistance heater of the type described an electrical connector which can be applied easily without injuring the glass plate, which is simple and inexpensive, which is durable and will not pull loose from the plate, and in some forms of which wires can be attached without soldering them.
In accordance with this invention a metal disc is soldered to an end of an electric heater. The disc is made of a low expansion metal that has substantially the same coeflicient of expansion as the plate in the temperature range in which the heater operates. When the heated glass plate expands, the heated disc expands at the same rate. Expansion of the thin layer of solder between the disc and plate is restrained by them and it does not pull loose. Although an electric wire can be soldered directly to the disc, it is preferred to provide the disc with a connecting element for the wire to mechanically connect the wire to the disc. This may take various forms, such as an integral loop struck out of the disc, an opening for a screw, or a wire-receiving sleeve connected to the disc.
(Fig. 3).
The preferred embodiment of the invention'is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a fragmentary View of one side of an electric resistance heater utilizing my electrical connectors; Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail showing a connector; Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on the line III--III of Fig. 2; Figs. 4 and 5 are front and end views of a modification of the connector; Figs. 6 and '7 are front and end views of another modification; Figs. 8 and 9 are front and end views of a further modification; Fig. 10 is a front view of an additional form; and Fig. 11 is a cross section taken on the line XIXI of Fig. 10.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings, a rectangular panel of plate I of tempered glass, of the type generally used for an electric resistance type of space heater, is adapted to be mounted in a frame or other support of wellknown form which can be set on the floor or hung on a wall. Since the frame forms no part of the invention, it is not disclosed. Mounted on one side of the glass plate is an electric heating element 2 which is formed from at least one electrical conductor that has its ends 3 enlarged and located close to each other, preferably at the bottom of the plate substantially midway between its ends. The conductor is formed from suitable electrical resistance material, generally aluminum or aluminum alloy, sprayed on the surface of the plate in a very thin strip. On the larger terminal areas 3 of the heating element an additional coating 4 of a solderable metal, such as copper or brass or zinc, has been sprayed because it is very diflicult to solder directly to the thin aluminum areas. A pair of metal discs 6 are joined to the coatings 4 by an ordinary high melting point lead-tin solder 1 This was done by first tinning the coatings 4 and the backs of the discs with the solder and then clamping the discs against the tinned areas of the resistance element. The entire assembly then was heated to the melting point of the solder to make a sweat joint between the discs and plate. With both the plate and the discs at the same temperature at the time of fusion of solder l, and with both being cooled down together, the final joints are free from shrinkage stress and will remain that way in service.
The material of which the discs are made is a low expansion metal having substantially the same coemcient of expansion as the glass plate in the temperature range in which the heater operates, which is from about 32 F. to about 300 F.
Consequently, the discs will expand and contract with the plate at the same rate. Examples of metal alloys having the proper coefficient of expansion are those formed from 48 to 51 per cent nickel and 52 to 49 per cent iron, or from 42 per cent nickel, 52 per cent iron and 6 per cent chromium, or from 14 to 18 per cent chromium and the balance iron. An alloy composed of 48 per cent nickel and 52 per cent iron is preferred. Although the solder 1 has a much greater coefficient of expansion than the plate and discs, it does not pull loose because it is a very'thin. layer and has low tensile strength. The film of solder is simply stretched or compressed by the glass plate and the metal discs on its opposite sides as they become hot or cold. The same thing istrue of the thin tinned areas of the resistance element, which also are sandwiched in between the discs and plate. A wire, by which the heating element can be connected in an electric circuit, can be soldered directly toeach metal disc6 without any difficulty. However, to permit the customer to attach wires without soldering, other'means may be provided.
The preferred manner offastening a wire 8 to each metal disc 6. isto join an electric terminal to the center of the'disc. The terminal has a fiat tongue lconsiderably smaller than the discs,
which should be made-of the same metal asthe discs so that it will. have subtantially the same coeilicient of expansion. The tongue is-brazed or spot welded to the center of a disc, but has a lateral projection l i. that is not joined. to the disc directly. Rigidly mountedon this projection is asleeve :2 which receives the end of a wire'8 and is compressedtightly. against it, such as by indent-- ing the sleeve. This arrangement is better than soldering the tongue directly to the tinned spot on a terminal area of the heating element, because-the pull of. the wire on the tongue is concentrated. in a small. space at one edge of the tongue. Since astronger connection can be made between the tongue and the center of the disc than can be made betweenthe disc and the heat-.
ing. element, it is betterto have the pull of the wire. on. the member that is soldered directly to the element exerted. at the center. of. thatmember than at its edge so. that the pull will be. distributed. uniformly throughout the area of the. member.
Another way of fastening a wire to sucha metal.
disc as shown inFigs. 4 and 5, is to use a thinner disc l5, and provide it with one or. more out-struck loops it through which thewirecan be inserted. Thenthe loops are pressed down. against the wire tocIamp it in place.
As shown in Figs. 6. and 7, a similar connection.
is formed by. joining, by soldering,v welding or brazing, a short cop-per tube I] to a disc. l8. A wire is inserted in this tube, whichthen is com: pressed on the. wire to hold it. Or, the wire can be soldered in the. tube.
A somewhat different way of fasteningawire. is provided, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9, by tapping a hole 10 in the center of a disc 20', and then inserting a screw 2 I in it to clamp the wire againstthe disc.
Another way is shown in Figs. 10 and 11. The central portion of thedisc 22 is ofiset outwardly to form a rearwardly opening recess 23. The
center of the disc is provided with a square opening, in which a short screw 24 is inserted with its head in the recess. At the base of the head there is a square collar 25 that fits in the square hole in the disc so that the screw will not turn. The threaded shank of the screw projects from the discs and can be provided. with a nut 26 for holding a wire on it.
According to the provisions of the patent statutes, I have explained the principle of my invention and have illustrated and described what I now consider to represent its best embodiment. However, I desire to have it understood that, within. the scope of the-appended claims, the invention maybe practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described.
