Abstract: 737,095. Supports for circuit components. AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE & ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. June 23, 1953 [July 11, 1952], No. 17475/52. Class 38 (1). [Also in Groups XXXIX and XL (c)] In an assembly of small electrical components having connecting wires, such as resistors or condensers, the components are placed between two spaced strips of thermoplastic material and the ends of the wires which lie on the edge of each strip are embedded in the strip by applying heat and pressure. Holes 18 of approximately the same diameter as the wire are drilled at intervals into the edges of the strips 10, 11, and the free ends of the wires which are looped and turned over as at 20 and 21 respectively, are inserted in the holes 18 prior to the application of heat and pressure. Strips of insulating material are bolted at the blocks after the wires have been embedded to give protection during handling and to facilitate labelling. The blocks 10, 11 are slotted at their ends to receive bars 12, 13 and located by means of blocks 16, 17 holding them against shoulders 14, 15 on the bars. Holes 22 are provided to enable leads to be fed through from one end to the other. The assembly may be mounted to form a part of an apparatus carrying carriage.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of coated metal filaments for use as electron emitting cathodes
IPC: H01J9/04
Filed: 1924-07-23
Abstract: 241,304. General Electric Co., Ltd., and Smithells, C. J. July 23, 1924. Vacuum tubes. - A metal filament is coated with electron-emitting material by applying to the filament an oxide of the same metal intimately mixed with the coating material, and reducing the oxide so that the reduced metal serves to bind the coating material securely to the filament. The filament is of a metal not reduced simply by heating, but one which requires a reducing agent for its reduction; it may be of tungsten, molybdenum, or iron and the coating material may consist of calcium or other oxide which is not reducible in hydrogen. In the preferred process precipitated tungstic acid, dried in a water bath but not ignited, is mixed into a thick paste with glycerine and finely-divided calcium oxide is added, the consistency of the paste being varied according to the diameter of the filament. A tungsten filament is dried in hydrogen and the paste applied as by dipping or drawing through a bath. The coated filament is dried and heated in hydrogen or other reducing gas to reduce tungstic oxide to metallic tungsten- Further coatings with the same or different proportions of ingredients may be applied, and thelater coatings may consist of calcium oxide alone. Specification 123,126 is referred to.
