Apparatus for producing a glass-encapsulated reed contact switch

摘要

Apparatus for producing reed switches, wherein means are provided for holding contacts in spaced relation within a glass tube, a coil adjacent the tube being capable of applying either a magnetizing or a demagnetizing field to the contacts. A heating device for melting one end of the glass tube to embed one of the contacts is controllable to permit the embedded contact to be moved while the glass is still viscous.
