ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 17,1912.
Application filed March is, 1912. SerialNo. 684,373;
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK BUCHANAN, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Electrical Resistance, .of
which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object the production of an electrical resistance which is particularly simple in construction, and highly efficient in use; and it consists in the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In describing this invention reference is had to the accompanying drawing in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure l is a side elevation, partly broken away, of one form of my resistance; Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view on line AA, Fig. 1, one side of the case or box being shown as displaced. Fig. 3 is a detail view of one of the resistance units. Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of oneof the A supporting and electrical connections.
My electrical resistance comprises, generally, a plurality of resistance units, each being detachably supported independently of the others and being detachably connected electrically to the others so that any one thereof may be readily removed and replaced, the units being supported within asuitable case or box.
In the illustrated embodiment of my in vention, the units areconnected together at their opposite ends and include terminal clips which form part of the means serving to electrically connect each unit with the .ad joining units and to also'mechanically support the units. Preferably the means elec- 40 serves to mechanically connect the units to suitable supporting means.
1 is the case or box, preferably having removable sides 2 which-are held in position by suitable means as wing nuts 3 turning on screws 4 which are pivoted at 5 to -lugs :6 supported by the end walls of the case or box, the screws being movable on their pivots in slots 7 in the side walls 2, intoand out .of effective position. The
screws and-wing nuts 3- are shown ini' operative position at the bottom of Flg. Q'and as out of operative position at the top thereof. i The side walls 2, are here shown as formed trically connecting adjoining units also with inturned flanges 8 at their upper and lower edges which extend into the box and with flanges 9 at their sides which overlap the end walls. short of the top and bottom of the case, as seen in Fig. 1, forming ventilating spaces at the top and bottom, and the resistance units are preferably arranged'in upright positions so that the heat from each unit can pass upwardly through the ventilating space at the top without coming in contact with any of the other units. i
10 are fittings secured to the end walls of the case by means of which conduits, as 11, inclosing the electric circuit wires 12, may
-be connected to the resistance box.
terminal clips at its opposite ends for de tachable connection with the clips of thead joining units, the terminal clips not only coacting with connecting means, presently described to electrs'cally connect each unit in circuit with the next units, but also coacting with said means to mechanically-connect the unit to the supportingvmeans 13, 14, the
clips of adjoining units having portions opposed to each other and preferably extending on opposite sidesof the bars, and the opposed portions being electrically connected -by' means passing transversely through the opposing portions of the clips and the interposed supporting bars.
As here shown the resistance units are arranged in a double row on opposite sides of the supporting bars 13,14 and the units of each 'row are serially connected alternately with the units of the other row, the units of the rows inclining in opposite directions out of the vertical, and thussiad- The side walls terminate joiningunitsincline in opposite directions.
In the illustrated embodiment of my in-- vention, each resistance unit comprises a 1-7. Preferably each of the spools is formed with a plurality of peripheral transverse holes 18 arranged in a series'lengthwise of spool 16 ofinsulation, a wire resistance coil wound around the spool and terminal clips of attaching the end of the last coil to the spool, and if the unit is to be of minimum resistance, the last coil terminates at the hole farthest removed from the end of the spool, 5 and the end of such coil is looped through the hole to prevent unwinding of the coil. If the unit is to be of greater resistance, the last coil may terminate in any one of the remaining holes. Each terminal clip includes clamping means in the form of a split ring for engaging a reduced end portion of the spool, the sections of the ring being drawn together by a nut and bolt 19, 20, the bolt having an extra nut 21 thereon which coacts with the nut 19 and bolt 20 to form a binding device to which one end as 22 or 23 of the coil is connected. Each terminal clip also includes a lug 24 arranged atan angle to the clamping ring and formed with an open ended slot 25 for the purpose to be presently described, the slot of the clip at one end as the lower end of the unit, opening through the end of the lug and" that of the upper end of the unit, opening through the side of the lug. The arrangement of the lugs 24 facilitates the placing and attaching of the unit in position and the engagement thereof with the connecting means by which the units are secured to the bars 13, 14 and are electrically connected together.
26 is a connecting member between the opposing lugs 24 of adjoining units, said member extending transversely through such opposing lugs 24 and the interposed bar 13 or 14 and having nuts 27 on its opposite end portions which turn against I washers 28 bearing directly against insulation means to be presently described. 29 are a pair of Washers on each projecting end of the member 26, one member 29 of each pair bearing against the'contiguous nut 27.
30 are nuts turning on the member 26 against the outermost washers of each pair 29 forpressing said washers against and clamping the interposed lugs 24 tightly in position.
The insulating means previously referred to for the connecting member 26 comprises a pair of disks 31 arranged on opposite sides of the bar 13 or 14.and mounted concentric with the corresponding connecting member 26 on a bushing 32 on said member 26, the bushing extending the full width of both disks and the washers 28 hearing against the end faces of the bushing and the disks.
A connecting member 26 and associated parts are mounted on each end wall of the case 1 for connecting the incoming and out-- going wires to the first and last resistance units 15. Said members 26 on the end walls are connected to the first and last units15 respectively by conductors 33. This arrangement of the connecting member with its insulation is particularly advantageous in that the connecting member is thoroughly insulated and protected from water which might otherwise percolate between the disks to the connecting member and cause disintegration of the connecting member. In this resistance, if the coil of one unit should become broken or burned out, a repair can be easily made by removing the sides 2 of the case, thus exposing all of the units so that the defective unit can be readily seen, removing the defective unit by loosening the outer nuts 29 at the upper and lower ends of such unit, swinging the upper end of the unit laterally out of engagement with the corresponding connecting member about the lower connecting member as a pivot and when the upper lug 24 has been disengaged from its connecting member, lifting the unit to disconnect the lower lug 24from its connecting member. The reverse of this operation takes place in inserting a new unit. Although the units are here shown as arranged in upright positions, obviously they may be arranged in any other position.
