1,015,385. Assembling components of electron tubes. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. Sept. 16, 1964 [Sept. 18, 1963], No. 37830/64. Heading H1J. A machine for mounting a series of components on a perforated insulating plate to form a grid assembly for an electron tube comprises a head for holding the plate and a holder supporting the components for one grid assembly in prescribed positions in a given order and displeacable in steps to bring the components successively below the head, means being provided for moving the head and the holder first towards one another so that projections on the component at that time below the head enter I perforations in the plate and then away from one another so that the component is removed from the holder. The head may include clamping means for gripping the projections. The machine comprises a horizontal guide for the holder below which is pivoted a lever carrying a pawl and reciprocated by a cam acting on the opposite end, and a vertical shaft carrying a head supporting a template on which the insulating plate is carried, the shaft being moved up and down by a cam during the periods when the holder is stationary. The holder consists of two parts 45, 47, Fig. 3, secured to a baseplate and forming a series of recesses holding four grids 51, 53, 55, 57, two plate-shaped anodes 59, 61 and a screen 63 each of which can occupy only one position in a corresponding recess, inserts being provided to determine the depths of insertion of the components in the holder, A series of ratchet teeth corresponding to the positions of the recesses are provided on the underside of the holder for co-operation with the pawl and the part 45 has a series of holes 43 co-operating with a pin on the head to retain the holder in position after each step. The head carries a jig having pins on which the insulating plate is mounted, and a number of recesses bounded by specially shaped edges and in which are arranged movable clamps 124-130. Fig. 7, arranged so that the projections of each component inserted in the plate can be gripped by the corresponding clamp and then bent over. For example, one recess has one edge 99 serrated, the grid beams of the successive grids being engaged in the appropriate pairs of perforations and held by the clamp 24. Some of the clamps have bevelled edges for bending the projections on the components, for example the clamp 127 forms part of a lever 155 engaging a sliding rod 159 in the jig, the rod carrying a projection 163 supporting the clamp 130. |
