Abstract

1,015,186. Multi-gap cold cathode tubes. BENDIX CORPORATION. Sept. 7, 1962 [Oct. 2, 1961 (2)], No. 34377/62. Heading H1D. A spark-gap device having two unequal communicating spark gaps, such that the lower breakdown gap serves to initiate a discharge across the other gap, includes two aligned insulating tubes closed at their outer ends by metal end-plates which support the stems of a pair of axially aligned electrodes which are directed towards one another, the two tubes being joined at their adjacent ends by an intermediate centrally-apertured plate, and a pair of central electrodes being formed by or secured to annular surfaces disposed around the aperture on opposite faces of the intermediate plate. The glass tubes 15 and 16 are closed at their outer ends, and joined at their adjacent ends, by apertured " Kovar " (Registered Trade Mark) plates 11, 14, and 12, which support the electrode stems 20 and 32 and the tungsten electrode heads 30, 37, 41, and 44, brazed to copper members 29, 36, 40, and 42, respectively. The plate 12 has a circular contact member 51, and the envelope is provided with an exhaust tube 46 and some radioactive material 45 deposited within the tube 15, and is filled with an 80/20% hydrogen/argon mixture. In a further embodiment (Figs. 5 and 6, not shown), the central electrodes are formed by the opposite surfaces of an annular portion of reduced thickness of the central plate 12 itself, and the end electrode associated with the smaller breakdown gap is spaced from its central electrode by a projecting alumina sleeve which may be coated with a semi-conductive layer of cuprous oxide/ferric oxide mixture. Alternatively, the sleeve may be wholly composed of semi-conductive material.
