HEATING ELEMENT ASSEMBLY CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application relates to the same field, heating element assemblies, as co-pending application Ser. No. 391,265, filed Aug. 24, 1973, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,812,322 for HEATING ELEMENT ASSEMBLY by Charles Osterkorn, Leo Buck, William Kloos, and Salvatore Marino, assigned to the' same assignee as the present invention.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to heating coils and in particular to an improved construction for supporting an open coil heating element.
Open coil heating elements are widely used and find many applications in the heating and air conditioning fields. For example, such coils may be used as heaters in conjunction with air conditioning units to provide all-weather temperature control.
The heating coil comprises a high resistance wire, such as Nichrome, which when a current passes through it, rapidly elevates in temperature and dissipates heat. The amount of heat generated is proportional to the resistance of the Nichrome wire and it is common practice to coil the wire and then loop the coil back and forth to reduce the overall space requirements necessary to contain a wire of the length required for a particular application. Oftentimes, more than one coil is utilized.
Heretofore, various schemes have been suggested and utilized for the purpose of supporting the heating coil. Typical of the prior art is US. Pat. No. 3,641,312 which discloses a frame including a plurality of crossmembers which support insulator bushings through which the heating coil passes. Each of the bushings passes through a hole in the cross-member and is held in position by a plurality of radial tongues arranged about the periphery of the hole. The bushings must individually be positioned and locked in position to insure safe and proper operation. It is not until all the bushings are in position that the Nichrome wire can be passed through the bushings and the heating assembly completed. While this arrangement produced satisfactory results, it is relatively time-consuming to assemble and hence expensive from a manufacturing standpoint.
A heating assembly element is also described and Two tabs are formed, one on each side, of the striplike portion, adjacent the top of the cutout in the striplike portion, for securing the capping member of the present invention.
The capping member employed in accordance with the present invention is also formed from a piece of sheet metal, but is not provided with cutouts. It is rolled along a line which is closer to one edge of the sheet than to the other so as to form a U with legs of unequal length, the base of the U providing a stop when the capping member is placed over the cross-member. A ridge is bent on the longer leg of the U formed by rolling of the capping member sheet metal. One of the tabs formed on the strip-like portion of the cross-member can be bent into a U-shaped configuration, leaving sufficient space between the strip-like portion and the bent-over tab to accommodate one of the legs of the capping member.
In order to assemble the entire heating element assembly, an insulating bushing-is placed in each of the cutouts formed in the cross-member. The capping member is then placed onto the top of the strip-like portion of the cross-member. The capping member is brought down all the way until the base of the U rests claimed in the previously-referenced eo-pending application. While the structure and locking mechanism described and claimed in that application are entirely adequate, we have now discovered a modified structure which provides both for easier assembly and manufacture and for more positive locking of the bushings into the assembly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION upon the portions of the strip-like portions which remain after formation of the cutouts. Either or both tabs, depending upon whether one has previously been bent over, are then bent into a U-shaped configuration, resting above the ridge on the capping member, so as to firmly secure the capping member to the crossmember and thus capture the insulating bushings between the two.
' Because there are no depending members between cutouts on the capping member, assembly is easily accomplished. Further, as the ridge on the capping member fits below the bent-over tabs, the capping member is firmly secured to the cross-member and is held in position.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the assembly of the present invention including a cross-member, capping member, and several insulating bushings;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the capping member in place on the cross-member, prior to bending of the securing tab; and,
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of one end of the assembly in fully assembled position.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the accompanying drawings, the heating element assembly of the present invention includes a cross-member l, a capping member 20, and a plurality of insulating bushings 30. The form of the insulating bushings is well known in the art and, accordingly, will not be described in further detail here.
The cross-member 1 includes the strip-like portion 2 within which are formed a plurality of cutouts 3 defined by adjacent walls 4 formed by the portions 5 of the strip-like portion remaining after formation of U- shaped cutouts 3. The sides 6 of the strip-like portion may be bent over to provide means for securing the assembly into a larger structure, as by means of fastener openings 8. Bottom 7 is added in order to strengthen the overall structure, particularly by providing additional rigidity. Tabs 9 and 10 are formed at either edge of the strip-like portion 2, adjacent the top of the striplike portion, generally in alignment with the tops of cutout 3.
Capping member 20 includes two legs 21 and 22 formed by rolling a piece of sheet metal along base line 23. Longer leg 22 is bent at line 24 to form a ridge 25, generally at right angles to the leg 22.
To assemble the device, one of the tabs, for example, tab 9, is bent into a U with respect to the strip-like portion 2, leaving sufficient space between the legs of the U to accommodate leg 22 of capping member 20. Leg 22 is then placed in the space between tab 9 and striplike portion 2, making certain that ridge 25 lies below tab 9. The capping member is then moved downwardly until base line 23 rests upon upstanding portions of strip-like portion 2. In this position, ridge 25 will lie below tab 10. Tab is then bent into a U configuration with respect to strip-like portion 2, as illustrated in FIG. 3. In this way, capping member is firmly secured to cross-member l. The capping member is prevented from movement along the cross-member by abutment, on either side, with the bend line of the U formed by bending over of tabs 9 and 10 and is prevented from movement away from the cross-member by abutment of tabs 9 and 10 on ridge 25.
A more preferable way of forming the heating element assembly of the present invention is to leave both tabs 9 and 10 in their originally formed condition prior to application of capping member 20. Capping member 20 is placed upon upstanding portions 5 of strip-like portion 2 until base line 23 rests upon these upstanding portions. Capping member 20 is then aligned with respect to the strip-like portion, and tabs 9 and 10 are bent over, above ridge so as to secure capping member, 20 to the strip-like member 2. The same benefits are generally obtained with either method of assembly, but the method just described is generally more easily accomplished with manufacturing equipment on a mass production basis.
Because it is unnecessary to align cutouts in the caping member with cutouts in the cross-member, assembly is far easier than with prior devices. Further, a more positive lock is provided. Additionally, with that assembly method where a tab is bent over prior to application of the capping member, the capping member is positively positioned against that tab at the beginning of assembly.
