MANUFACTURING FUSES HAVING CAPS MADE OF AN ELASTOMER Filed Sept. 5. 1957 'E' an United States Patent 3,005,741 MANUFACTURING F USES HAVING CAPS MADE GF AN ELASTOMER Harry H. Hellas, Newton, Mass., assigner to The Chase- Shawmut Company, Newburyport, Mass.
Filed Sept. 3, 1957, Ser. No. 681,535
. 3 Claims. (Cl. 156-152) VThis invention relates to manufacturing electric fuses, and more particularly to manufacturing electric fuses of the blade contact type having caps made of an elastomer. Y
Caps made of an elastomer have a first tubular extension for covering a portion of the blade contact of the'fuse. Such caps have also a second tubular extension for covering a portion of the casing of the fuse.
It is one object of this invention to provide a method for firmly and eiciently bonding said first extension to the blade contact of a fuse and for rmly and eiiciently bonding said second extension to the casing of a fuse.
` Another object of the invention is to provide a method enabling to perform the above referred to bonding operations without resorting to complex and/or expensive tooling.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a method for inseparably bonding caps made of an elastomer to fuses, i.e. for establishing bonds having a higher degree of mechanical strength than the mechanical strength inherent in the particular elastomer of which the caps are made. Improper application of force and use of destructive tools on such fuses may result in destruction of the elastomer caps thereof rather than in removal of the caps from the remainder of the fuse structure. This positively precludes tampering with the fuse.
It is apparent from the foregoing that it is a further object of the invention to provide a method for manufacturing electric fuses having caps made of an elastomer and covering portions of the blade contacts and portions of the casings of the fuses, the method being such as to result in fuses which cannot be tampered with.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient method for manufacturing fuses of,
the type disclosed in the copending patent application of Kenneth W. Swain, Current-Limiting Fuses of Reduced Size, led April 26, 1957, Ser. No. 655,288, now Patent No. 2,863,967.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the following description proceeds, and the features of novelty which characterize the invention will be pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to, and forming part of, this specification.
For a better understanding of the invention reference may be had to the accompanying drawing wherein- FIG. l is in part a longitudinal section and in part an elevational view of one end of a fuse manufactured according to the teachings of this invention;
FIG. 2 is in substance a section along 2-2 of FIG. l, some parts of the structure being shown in front View rather than in section;
FIG. 3 shows in part in side elevation and in part in section a fuse as shown in FIGS. l and 2 and a fixture used in manufacturing the fuse;
FIG. 4 is a view along 4-4 of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a section similar to FIG. 2 illustrating al step in manufacturing the structure of FIGS. l and 2.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2 showing but one end of an electric fuse, the same comprises a casing l of insulating material closed on both ends by means of metal plugs 2. Pins 3 secure plugs 2 to casing 1 and blade contacts 4 project axially outwardly from plugs 2. Plugs 2 are conductively interconnected by multiperforated ribbon links 5 preferably made of silverV surrounded lby a pulverulent arc-quenching filler 6 such as clean quartz sand. The ends of links 5 are inserted into grooves 2aA in plugs 2 land conductively connected to plugs 2 by solder joints'(not shown). Reference numeral 7 hasj been applied to generally indicate a cap madeV of a suitable elastomer vor synthetic rubber. Cap 7 comprises a first tubular extension 7a covering a portion of blade contact 4. The tubular extension 7b of cap 7 covers a portion of casing Y1. Bonds 8a firmly secure tubular extension 7a to blade Contact 4, and bonds 8b firmly secure tubular extension 7b to casing 1.
Referring now to FIGS. V3 and 4, the xture for making the fuse structure shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a pair of spaced steel blocks 9 provided with holes or bores 9a of which but onehas been shown in FIG. 3.
Preparatory to mounting extension 7a on blade Contact 4 some thermosetting bonding material in strip-form is placed upon both sides of blade contact 4 as indicated in FIGS. l and 2 by reference character 8a. Thereupon extension 7a is mountedron blade contact 4 over the bonding material 8a in strip form. Then the fuse structure is inserted into the fixture of FIGS. 3 and 4 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The bare end of blade contact 4 is block 12 to the terminal 12b of the lower carbon block p 12. As a result, some heat is generated in carbon blocks 12. By virtue of grooves 12a in blocks 12 the contact resistance between blocks 12 and blade contact 4 is relatively high, resulting in substantial heat generation at the points of engagement of blocks 12 and blade contact 4. There occurs an axial flow of heat into the fuse structure as indicated by the arrow R. As a result of this internal way of heating, a zone of relatively high temperature is established immediately adjacent to bonding strips 8a. The latter become tacky at the surfaces thereof remote from blade contacts 4, fuse and set thereafter and form permanent nondestructible bonds between parts 4 and 7a. While bonding strips 3a fuse, pressure plates 1t) apply external pressure to extension 'la tending to cause engagement under pressure of extension 7a and blade contact 4. The internal structure of the fuse remains relatively cool during the heating period of blade contact 4, which is due to the relatively large heat absorbing capacity of metal plugs 2.
A bonding operation different from the above described bonding operation is applied to secure the tubular cap extension 7b to casing 1. To achieve this end, the tubular extension 7b of cap 7 is upturned, or lifted, as clearly shown in FIG. 5. This exposes the bonding areas B1, B2 between parts 7b and 1 and enables to apply a semiliquid cement, or cement in paste form, to either or both bonding areas B1, B2. Thereafter extension 7b is turned down from the position shown in FIG. 5 to the position shown in FIGS. l and 2. The resiliency inherent in extension or skirt 7b is sufficient to exert the pressure required for establishing a perfect bond between parts 7b and 1.
If desired, the bonding steps illustrated in FIG. may precede the bonding steps illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4..
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made in bonding the caps to the fuse structure without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
