Patent number: 5027101Abstract: An electrical component, particularly a fuse for a surface-mount component, is formed by sputtering an aluminum conductor onto a square tube, sleeving the tube into an outer tube, filling the assembly with a room-temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant, cutting the assembly into segments, and metallizing the ends of each segment. In one embodiment, the sleeved tubes are mechanically separated from the surrounding silicone. In another embodiment, the silicone-coated tubes are mechanically separated from the outer tubes. In another embodiment fuses are made by sputtering the conductors onto a thin glass substrate, covering a link portion of the conductors with silicone adhesive, and dicing the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1990Date of Patent: June 25, 1991Inventor: Vaughan Morrill, Jr.

Patent number: 4160223Abstract: Reed switches, contact sections of the reed of which bear with a predetermined positive force against inside surfaces of an elongated envelope, are made by forming combs, each including a header web and, integral with the web and projecting therefrom, a plurality of reed elements. The reed elements are parallel with one another and spaced from one another along the web. A plurality of elongated glass envelopes are mounted in a fixture, parallel with one another and spaced the same centerline-to-centerline distance as the reed elements. The reed elements of a first comb are inserted into one end of the envelopes and the reed elements of a second comb into the other end of the envelopes until the inner ends of the opposite reeds are in the desired positions lengthwise with respect to one another.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1977Date of Patent: July 3, 1979Assignee: Morex, Inc.Inventors: Vaughan Morrill, Jr., Stanley F.

Patent number: 3938066Abstract: A reed switch is made by forming an envelope tube, non-circular in cross-section, with a known internal heightwise dimension, forming a reed element with two end-bearing portions at least one of which is part of a contact section of the reed element and an intermediate sealing-bearing section between and entirely out of a plane defined by the end-bearing portions of the reed, the distance between the plane and a bearing surface of the sealing-bearing section being greater than the internal heightwise dimension of the envelope tube; inserting the reed element into an open end of the envelope tube sufficiently far to cause both of the end-bearing portions and the bearing surface of the sealing-bearing section to bear against the inside wall of the envelope tube, the end-bearing portion of the contact section of the reed element bearing with a force greater than the force ultimately to be exerted by that portion in the finished switch; sealing at least a part of the sealing section in the envelope tube to seal sType: GrantFiled: July 8, 1974Date of Patent: February 10, 1976Assignee: Morex, Inc.Inventor: Vaughan Morrill, Jr.
