RESISTANCE UNIT.
Application med nay s, 1926. serial No. 167,613.
This invention relates to resistance units composed` of wire coils wound on bodles of refractory material, such as porcelain. Porcelain is desirable as a support for the windings because of its high heat-resisting and insulating properties; but ditliculty is encountered in satisfactorily securing terminals and other connectors to the porcelain because of its hard and brittle character. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a resistance unit in which the terminals and other connectorscan be secured at any desired-points on the unit, the securing means being the coil itself. In carrying out the invention, I provide a'metal supporting bar, having an insulating covering composed ofv refractory material, this covering having coil-supporting ltoothed ribs extending longitudinally of the bar and having spaced pockets between the ribs. The terminals or other connecting devices are formed with 'parts adapted to fit interchangeably in these pockets, and the resistance coil, wound over the toot-hed ribs and pockets, serves as a means for holding the connectors in place upon the covering.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of ares1stance unit, partly in section and partly broken away;
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the sume, looking from left to right in Fig. 1, the insulating coveringbeing partl in section;
Fig. 3 is a top plan view o the left hand end portion of the unit shown in Fig. 1, with the wires partly removed;
Fig. l4 is a section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1;
Y Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the terminals shown in Fig. 1; and
Fig. 6 is a similar view of the tap shown in Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing, a represents a flat metal supporting bar, having heads 1 and 2 at its ends which are wider than the bar, and the bar, between the heads, has a covering b of-refractory material, preferably porcelain. This covering is composed of a lurality of relatively short pieces of porceihin, all alike in size and form. Thus, in Fig. 1, two pieces 3 and 4 are shown on the upper half of the bar and similar pieces 3* and 4 are shown on the lower half of the bar. Each piece of porcelain has a slot or channel 5, as shown in Fig. 4, and these slots tit over the bar, as shown in said figure, so that the opposing sections, as 4 and 4, cover the bar and interlock with it. Each section has several ribs 6, 7, and 8., vwith teeth 6a, 7a, and 8, between which the wire coil` 9 is wound. In the channeled portions of the insulators, between the ribs, are formed angular pockets 10, spaced short distances apart longitudinally of the bar. The intervening parts 11, between the pockets, )om the adjacent ribs and strengthen the ribs. The wire 9 is wound over the ribs, between the teeth, and spans the channels which afford room for the circulation of air around the wire.
With wire wound units of this character, in,which refractory material is used as an insulator, ditliculty is experienced in securlng connectors, such as terminals and taps, to the unit, because of the hard and brittle nature of the material. To overcome this dif. ticulty, I provide the pockets in the insulator, and the connectors are provided with bases which fit into these. pockets, and these bases are held within the pocket-s by the coil whlch is wound about the insulator. Thus, the unit shown inv Fig. 1 is provided with two terminals t, each consisting of a Sheet metal strip having a body portion 12, to
which the. wires may be connected, a foot 13,
turned over at right angles to the partk 12,
and two forked arms 14, inclined down-- wardly from opposite sides of the foot and fitting into the pockets 10 at oppositesides of the rib 7. The foot 13 is shown with an upwardly turned end 13, as a convenience for retaining the wires when the coil is wound, but this end. may be omitted. When the coil is to be wound, a terminal is placed on the insulator, as shown in the drawing, with its foot portion resting on a rib and the forked arms extending into the adjacent pockets, the terminal thus straddling` the rib. The coil is then wound on to the unit and over the foot of the terminal, thus binding the terminal to the insulator. The foot `tbns connected to the ooit.
