Electrostatic capacitor

Claim 2

AN ELECTROSTATIC CAPACITOR COMPRISING AN ANDIPPED TUBULAR HOUSING AND A WOUND CAPACITOR ELEMENT POSITIONED WITHIN SAID HOUSING AND SUBSTANTIALLY FILLING THE SAME DIAMETRICALLY WHILE LEAVING UNSEALED ANY SPACE THEREBETWEEN FOR AIR TO FLOW THERETHROUGH FROM END TO END, SAID HOUSING BEING LONGER THAN THE ELEMENT AND EXTENDING THEREBEYOND AT BOTH ENDS TO FORM END CAVITIES IN COMMUNICATION WITH EACH OTHER THROUGH THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TUBULAR HOUSING AND THE CAPACITOR ELEMENT AND EACH OF WHICH IS FILLED WITH SOLID DIELECTRIC SEALING COMPOUND HAVING A FLOW POINT ABOVE 100* C., THE COMPOUND HAVING BEEN ADMITTED SUCCESSIVELY TO THE CAVITIES IN THE FLUID STATE, THE HEAT-EXPANDED AIR ESCAPING FROM THE OPEN END OF THE TUBULAR HOUSING AT THE FIRST FILLING OF THE CAVITIES AND THE LAST-FILLED OF SAID CAVITIES BEING AT LEAST OF SUCH DEPTH, FROM THE END OF THE HOUSING TO THE ADJACENT END OF THE ELEMENT, THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE FLUID COMPOUND THEREIN, WHEN FILLED, IS SUFFICIENT TO COUNTERACT THE AUGMENTED INTERNAL PRESSURE OF THE AIR ENTRAPPED BETWEEN THE TUBULAR HOUSING AND THE CAPACITOR ELEMENT RESULTING FROM THE INCREASED TEMPERATURE THERREOF INDUCED BY THE HEAT OF THE FLUID COMPOUND, SAID DIELECTRIC SEALS BEING IN DIRECT INTIMATE BONDED ENGAGEMENT WITH SAID CAPACITOR ELEMENT.

Claim 3

IN THE MANUFACTURE OF AN ELECTROSTATIC CAPACITOR CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING AN OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF 100* C. OR MORE, THE HEREIN DESCRIBED METHOD CONSISTING IN ARRANGING A WOUND CAPACITOR ELEMENT WITHIN AN UNDIPPED TUBULAR HOUSING OPEN AT THE ENDS AND EXENTENDING BEYOND THE CAPACITOR ELEMENT TO FORM END CAVITIES AND HAVING A SPACE BETWEEN THE TUBULAR HOUSING AND THE CAPACITOR ELEMENT PROVIDING AN AIR PASSAGE ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE END CAVITIES, FORMING A PLUG OF THE ORDER OF ONE-EIGHTH INCH IN DEPTH IN ONE OF THE END CAVITIES BY FILLING THE SAME WITH HOT FLUID DIELECTRIC SEALING COMPOUND HAVING A FLOW POINT ABOVE 100* C. WHILE THE CAVITY AT THE OTHER END OF THE HOUSING IS OPEN, ALLOWING HEAT-EXPANDED AIR TO ESCAPE FROM THE OPEN END OF THE HOUSING AND THEREBY RELIEVING THE DIELECTRIC SEALING COMPOUND IN THE FILLED CAVITY OF AUGMENTED PRESSURE SO THAT NO AIR BUBBLES WILL BE FORCED THROUGH THE RELATIVELY THIN PLUG, THEREAFTER FILLING THE OTHER END CAVITY OF THE TUBULAR HOUSING WITH THE HOT FLUID DIELECTRIC SEALING COMPOUND TO A DEPTH OF AT LEAST THREE-SIXTEENTH INCH IN ORDER TO COUNTERACT THE AUGMENTED PRESSURE OF THE ENTRAPPED AIR AND PREVENT AIR BUBBLES PASSING THROUGH THE SEAL OF SAID LAST-FILLED CAVITY, AND FINALLY SUBJECTING SAID SEALED ASSEMBLY TO A FIRST DIP COATING IN A MOLTEN WAX.

Claim 4

IN THE MANUFACTURE OF AN ELECTROSTATIC CAPACITOR CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING AN OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF 100* C. OR MORE, THE HEREIN DESCRIBED METHOD CONSISTING IN ARRANGING A WOUND CAPACITOR ELEMENT WITHIN AN UNDIPPED TUBULAR HOUSING OPEN AT THE ENDS AND EXENTENDING BEYOND THE CAPACITOR ELEMENT TO FORM END CAVITIES AND HAVING A SPACE BETWEEN THE TUBULAR HOUSING AND THE CAPACITOR ELEMENT PROVIDING AN AIR PASSAGE ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE END CAVITIES, FORMING A PLUG OF THE ORDER OF ONE-EIGHTH INCH IN DEPTH IN ONE OF THE END CAVITIES BY FILLING THE SAME WITH HOT FLUID DIELECTRIC SEALING COMPOUND HAVING A FLOW POINT ABOVE 100* C. WHILE THE CAVITY AT THE OTHER END OF THE HOUSING IS OPEN, ALLOWING HEAT-EXPANDED AIR TO ESCAPE FROM THE OPEN END OF THE HOUSING AND THEREBY RELIEVING THE DIELECTRIC SEALING COMPOUND IN THE FILLED CAVITY OF AUGMENTED PRESSURE SO THAT NO AIR BUBBLES WILL BE FORCED THROUGH THE RELATIVELY THIN PLUG, THEREAFTER FILLING THE OTHER END CAVITY OF THE TUBULAR HOUSING WITH THE HOT FLUID DIELECTRIC SEALING COMPOUND TO A DEPTH OF AT LEAST THREE-SIXTEENTH INCH IN ORDER TO COUNTERACT THE AUGMENTED PRESSURE OF THE ENTRAPPED AIR AND PREVENT AIR BUBBLES PASSING THROUGH THE SEAL OF SAID LAST-FILLED CAVITY, AND FINALLY SUBJECTING SAID SEALED ASSEMBLY TO A FIRST DIP COATING IN A MOLTEN WAX.
