HEATER TUBE ASSEMBLY Filed Aug. '7, 1961 IN V EN TOR.
JAMES M. MARTIN ATTORNEYS United States Patent 3,253,243 HEATER TUBE ASSEMBLY James M. Martin, Mason, Mich., assignor, by mesne assignments, to Insto-Gas Corporation, Detroit, Mich, a corporation of Michigan Filed Aug. 7, 1961, Ser. No. 129,675 Claims. (Cl. 338316) This invention relates to heaters and refers more particularly to electric heater tube assemblies.
One object of the invention is to provide a good, reliable connection between a lead or contact and the end of the heating element in an electrical heater tube assembly.
Another object is to provide an electrically non-conductive plug for supporting the lead or contact, of improved construction.
Another object is to provide an electrically non-conductive plug constructed to permit the flow of air in and out of the tube past the lead or contact.
Another object is to provide an electrically non-conductive plug formed to prevent accidental grounding of the heater element to the frame of the heater.
Another object is to provide a heater tube assembly comprising an elongated tube of glass or like material, an electric heating element within the tube, electrically non-conductive plugs at each end of the tube, and an electric contact or lead extending into the tube freely through a passage in the plug and connected to the heating element, the lead having means engaging the plug to hold it on the end of the tube, and the plug being otherwise free of attachment to the tube.
Other objects and features of the invention will become apparent as the description proceeds, especially when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is an elevational view of an electric heater tube assembly embodying my invention.
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of a portion of the heater tube assembly shown in FIG- URE 1.
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged fragmentary clevational View of a portion of the heater tube assembly.
FIGURE 4 is a sectional view of a portion of the heater tube assembly shown in FIGURE 2, seen from a different angle.
FIGURE 5 is a view looking in the direction of the arrow 5 in FIGURE 3.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the heater tube assembly is generally indicated at and comprises an elongated cylindrical tube 12 of glass or like non-conductive material, open at both ends. Extending within the tube is an electric heating element 14 which is in the form of an elongated helical wire coil formed of a suitable electrically conductive material such, for example, as resistance wire. The heating element 14 is, of course, resilient and can be stretched in the direction of its length.
At each end of the tube there is a lead or contact 16 .and acontact supporting plug 1 8. Since the lead and plug at one end of the tube are exactly the same as those at th'e other, it will be sufiicient to describe the pair at one efid only, As seen in FIGURES ,.5 the lead 16 is in the forhiofla thin, flat metal strip forked at the outer end as indicatedat 20 for connection to a suitable terminal 22 of a metal housing 24. At its inner end, the contact or lead 16 has a tab extension 26 which is of reduced width, as shown in FIGURES 2 and 4, and is return bent or folded on itself. The return-bent end of the tab extension is secured on itself by a weld 30. An end 32 of the wire coil heating element 14 explace.
3,253,243 Patented May 24, 1966 tends within the fold of the return-bent tab and is securely held by friction.
The plug 18 is formed of any suitable electrically non-conductive material, preferably a ceramic. The plug '18 has a body 34 which includes a circular rim portion 36 and a narrow portion 38 extending axially outwardly from the mid region of the rim. At its inner end, the body 34 has an axial extension or boss 40 which is of somewhat smaller diameter than the inside of the tube. Boss 40 extends loosely within the tube and acts as a pilot. A radial annular shoulder 42 on the inner end of the plug body extends outwardly from. the boss and engages the end of the tube. The plug 18 is otherwise free of connection with the tube.
The plug is formed with an axial passage 44 which extends from the outer end of the body through the portions 34 and 36 thereof and also through the boss 40. As seen in FIGURE 5, the passage is generally rectangular throughout its length, being relatively narrow in comparison with its width. The intermediate portion 46 of the passage is of increased breadth. The width of the passage is only slightly greater than the width of contact 16, and its breadth, beyond the intermediate portion 46, is only slightly greater than the thickness of the contact 16. Accordingly the contact 16 is closely confined within the passage 44 but is capable of axial sliding movement.
The contact 16 is formed with two axially spaced holes 48 and 50. A pin 52 extends through and is permanently secured in hole 50, projecting beyond either side of the contact .16, as seen in FIGURE 5.
The body 34 of the plug 18 is formed with a generally rectangular recess 54 which is narrow in comparison with its width and extends across the passage 44 at the mid point of the passage so that the end portions of the recess lie on opposite sides of the passage. The width dimension of the recess is at right angles to the width dimension of the passage.
Pin 52 is adapted to be received in the recess 54 and to seat against the bottom of the recess as shown in FIGURES 2 and 3.
The heater tube is assembled by securing the pin 52 in the hole 50 of one contact or lead 16, inserting the contact through the passage of a plug 18 to seat the pin in recess 54, and frictionally securing an end of the heating element 14 to the tab 26 of the contact by folding the tab on itself and welding at 30. The other contact 16 is likewise connected to the other end of the heating element 14 by folding its tab over the end of the heating element and welding. Then a long wire is hooked through the hole 48 of the second contact to draw the contact and heating element through the tube and to locate the first assembled contact and plug in position on the end of the tube, as shown in FIGURE 2. Thereafter, and while the second contact is held by the wire, the second plug is sleeved over the second contact and a pin 52 is inserted in the hole 50 and secured in In the assembled relation of the parts, the heating element 14 is under a slight tension to hold the plugs against the ends of the tube. The plugs are not affixed to the tube ends but are merely held by the tension of the heating element.
When the tube assembly is inserted in the metal housing 24, the forked ends of the contacts are rigidly aflixed to the terminals 22 of the integral parts 60 and 62 of the housing. The coefiicient of thermal expansion of the tube 12 is low in comparison with that of the metal housing 24. Hence as the tube assembly 10 heats up, the temperature of the housing 24 will likewise increase and the housing, due to the difference in coeflicients, will expand to a greater deg-rec than the tube. Hence the terminals 22 will tend to separate or move apart a distance greater than the elongation of tube 12. However by reason of the fact that the contacts 16 can move independently of the plugs and tube 12, the contacts can expand with the terminals 22.
By reason of the enlargement 46 of the plug passage 44, clearance is provided for the flow of air into and out of the tube between the walls of the enlargement and the sides of the contact.
