Jan. 18, 1949. J. E. BEGGS ELECTRIC DISCHARGE DEVICE Filed Maroh' 27, 194
Inventor": James EBeggs,
His Attorney.
Patented Jan. 18, 1949 2,459,487 ELECTRIC DISCHARGE DEVICE James E. Beggs, Scotia, N. Y., assignor to General Electric Company, a corporation of New York Application March 27, 1946, Serial No. 657,408
My invention relates to electric discharge devices and more particularly to improved discharge devices in which the high frequency and direct current circuits are isolated.
In my copending application Serial No. 651,234, filed March 1, 1946, now Patent No. 2,455,851, I have shown and described an electric discharge device particularly adapted for operation over a wide range of frequencies in which the control grid circuit is shielded from the anode by the cathode structure and in which the cathode and screen grid are directly bypassed with respect to high frequency currents Within the discharge device. The present invention incorporates these features and in addition provides a structure which is particularly adapted for use in radio sets as an amplifier. The structure is adapted to be supported on a chassis with the direct current connections made to the terminals thereof on one side of the chassis member and with the a new particularly adapted for operation over a wide 1 range of frequencies.
It is still another object of my invention to provide an electric discharge device structure which is particularly adapted for use in cascaded amplifier circuits.
Further objects and advantages of my invention will become apparent as the following description proceeds, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and its scope will be pointed out in the appended claims. In the drawing, Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an electric discharge device embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is an elevational view in section of the device shown in Fig. 1; Fig 3 is a plan view of a portion of the device shown in detail the grid and cathode construction, and Fig. 4 is a schematic representation of an amplifier circuit employing the device of Figs. 1 to 3.
Referring now to the drawing} have shown my invention embodied in an electric discharge device including an envelope'constructed of tele scoping metal members I and 2 which, as illustrated, may be of substantially rectangular cross-section in one plane and when assembled provide a substantially U-shaped cross-section in Fig. 2 illustrating in more 8 Claims. (Cl. 25027.5)
2 a plane transverse to the first mentioned section. The members i' and 2 are provided with circular openings defined by inwardly directed flanges 3 and 4 which extend in generally parallel relation. The envelope of the device is completed by domelike glass insulators 5 and B which are sealed to the flanges 3 and l respectively, and which support terminals 7 and 8 at opposite ends of the device in insulated relation with respect to each other and with respect to the envelope. The terminal 8 provides an external connection for a planar anode 9 which is provided by the inner end wall of an extension of the terminal 8 and the terminal 1 provides a support and an electrical connection for the control grid H! which is supported from the terminal structure by a pair of parallel metal supports 1 I. As illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, these supports extend on opposite sides of a cathode member I 2 and the mesh of grid it is welded or otherwise bonded to the upper ends thereof. It is apparent that some tension for holding the grid in shape under operating conditions may be provided for forcing these arms together slightly before and during the welding operation.
The cathode may be similar to the standard receiving type cathode now widely employed in radio tubes and, as illustrated, includes the tubular member 12 which may to advantage be of rectangular cross-section and coated on at least the upper side thereof in the region beneath the grid mesh, as shown at [2, with an electron emission enhancing material such as a mixture of alkaline earth oxides. The cathode member l2 is adapted to be brought to electron emission temperature by a twisted heater element l4 received within the member i2 and insulated therefrom in any suitable manner as by a coating of aluminum oxide. The cathode member I2 is thus positioned on the side of the control member opposite the anode and is supported by a pairof metal flanges i5 and it which extend in parallel and in spaced relation and are received between the flanges 3 and 4 of the envelope members I and 2. The flange I5 is spaced from the flange 3 of the envelope member by an insulating disk or washer l! which maintains the cathode insulated from the envelope with respect to direct current voltages and bypasses the cathode to the envelope with respect to high frequency voltages. In a similar "manner: a screen grid is and suppressor grid iii are positioned between the control grid and the anode and each is provided with a marginal metal supporting member 20 arranged between and in parallel relation with respect .to
the flanges 3 and 4. As illustrated, the washers 20 are mutually insulated and insulated with respect to the envelope member 2 and the cathode support I6 by insulating washers 2|. With this construction it is apparent that the suppressor grid, screen grid and cathode are all connected together and to the metal envelope with respect to high frequency voltages but are mutually insulated with respect to direct current voltages.
All of the direct current connections are adapted to be made with the various electrodes of the device through a plurality of contact prongs 22 to 21 inclusive which are sealed'through suitable openings in one side of the envelope member I by a body of glass 28 which, as best illustrated in Fig. 2, is positioned between the inner surface of one side of member I and a retaining metal member 29. As indicated, the terminal prongs 22 to 21 are connected respectively with the suppressor grid, screen grid, cath- 'od'e heater terminalsand'to the envelope member .I through a getter 30. The getter may to advantage be of "the type which is adapted to remain intact during the life of the tube so that thexconducting'portions of the tubeenvelope may rbemaintained' at direct current ground potential by the terminal prong .2].
It will .be apparent that the construction descuibed above incorporates features generic to my aboveementioned copen'ding application including'theshielding .of the control member lead- :in by the cathode structure and the direct bypass 'ofithe screen grid to the cathode within the tube. Thestrnctnreby which these features are realized .is. somewhat different. in addition, the device embodying my present invention provides for the Hawking of the direct current connections from one side of the envelope, :and for making the input and output high frequency connections from th opposite ends thereof, thereby adapting the 1711176 particularly for cascaded amplifier circuits such frequently employed in radio receiving sets.
.Jzn Fig. Fl I have illustrated schematically the application of a discharge device embodying my present: invention "to .an amplifier circuit. The device shown in Fig. 4 is diagrammatic and elements corresponding to the elements of Figs. 1 to 3: have been designated by the same reference numerals. As illustrated in Fig. 4, the input or grid-cathode circuit includes an input transformer 3%. having the primary Winding tuned'by a parallelyconnected capacitor $2 and the secondary windingtunerl- .by :aparallel connected capacitor 3.3. Cine terminal of the secondary winding is connected directly with'the grid terminal '5 and the other terminal is capacitively coupled with the envelope of the device by a capacitor including .a plate-like conductor 34 and insulator 3'4. As will :be readily appreciated, the envelope of :the device is connected with the cathode with 2: eet to. high frequency voltages as a result of the bypass capacitor provided :by the insulating washer ill and the opposed metal surfaces on cp- =posite sides thereof. The direct current connec- 'tion for the input circuit includes a resistor 35 which connected "with the negative terminal ofit'he 'grid biasor C battery. In a similar 132L11- ner, the output :circuit .is connected between the anode and cathode. As illustrated, the output transformer 36 has the primary winding thereof tuned by a capacitor .37 and the secondary windi-ng tuned @bya capacitor 38.. One terminal of the secondary winding is connected directly with the anode terminal 8 and the other terminal is connected to the input of the next stage and that the required physical spacing between successive stages is small. Also, the high frequency circuits are all located above the chassis While the direct current circuits are all positioned below the chassis, utilizing the metal chassis as an effective shield. It will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above construction is also well suited to circuits having distributed characteristics, such as concentric line circuits, and if desired the cross section of the envelope may %be made circular ililSlZiEEUd of square, which -case the concentric connections may be readily made to the opposite ends ozfthe device. 1
lVhiie I have show/nancl described a particular embodiment of my invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the features of my inuention, and I therefore aim in the appended claims ito cover :allsuch-changes and modifications as t'fall within the true spirit and scope of my invention.
