Murray eases through at Wimbledon with comfortable straight-sets win over Becker
There was nothing for Andy Murray to cry about this time. Tearful on TV the night before, crying at this very place a year ago, he emerged smiling at the start of his intended journey into history.
His 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Benjamin Becker could hardly match the seismic shock taking place little more than a miscued lob away on Court No 1.
Still, there was a slice of history that fell to Murray with this routine, if testing enough, first-round match on Centre Court. Victory made the Scot the most successful British Grand Slam player of all time, his 107 wins eclipsing Fred Perry's previous record.

Easy win: Andy Murray beats Germany's Benjamin Becker in straight sets
Fine form: Murray returns a serve to Becker on the way to a 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 win
Rest assured, this is not the last time Mr Perry's name will be invoked in relation to Murray's over the next fortnight.
The nation's hopes of watching him end one of the most enduringly unfulfilled narratives in sport, namely winning the Wimbledon men's singles title for Britain, has a long way to run but the omens are at least reasonably encouraging.
In taking one hour 53 minutes to dispatch his German opponent, a useful grass-court player who refused to lie down, Murray gave a confident performance without needing to stretch himself.
Fist-pump: World No 2 Murray celebrates the first step on his quest for the Wimbledon title
No problem: Murray may now face fellow Brit James Ward in the Round Two after beating Becker
@andy_murray: 'Post match chores.. Shower..10min bike..sushi..45 min physio..1hr press..10 min ice bath.. 5min warm bath..now mock the week in bed!'
If there was a cause for concern it was chiefly his second serve. A wild double fault caused him to be broken and go from 4-1 up in the first set to 4-4, but he increasingly took control under a grey sky that half-threatened rain all day.
There was one moment when Murray lost his sang-froid, his head rolling around like a ragdoll when he found himself a break point down in the first game of the second set. Had his concentration wavered?
Whatever the case, he recovered quickly with an ace for deuce before serving out the game without any further blip to trouble his inscrutable coach, Ivan Lendl, who hid such emotions as he may have felt behind customary dark glasses.
There was the odd shout of 'C'mon Andy' but there was never even the slightest panic among the throng.
Defeated: Murray's opponent Becker posed the Scot questions but not enough to stop the easy win
'I thought it was a good match and it was a good start for me,' was Murray's post-match verdict. 'He played some solid tennis, especially the first two sets, and then the third set I started to play better.
'It was a tough start for me. He is a very good grass player. There's always nerves at the start of a Grand Slam and I'm glad to get it out of the way and, hopefully, I can improve as it goes on.'
We are told that, after Murray's Olympic gold medal here last summer and the US Open triumph it set up, it will relieve him of some of the pressure that goes with him at SW19. That sounds a somewhat fanciful theory, even if he will draw more assurance with a Grand Slam title in his locker. Imagine all the usual hoopla that awaits toward the end of next week should our man still be standing.
'I put a lot of pressure on myself and expect a lot from myself,' he said. 'The other stuff that goes with it doesn't really matter. I can do a good job of putting that to the back of my head. It will be there the rest of my career.'
As for the crowd's most vocal contribution, it came in the form of a rustling whisper from all sides when the first news of the Darcis-Nadal match was flashed up on the board. Darcis led 2-0, 2-1 and 40-30 at that stage.
Famous face: Denise Lewis was in the crowd to watch Murray race through to round two
The result of that giant-killing means Murray has been denied a possible semi-final against Nadal, who was destined to play Roger Federer in the quarter-final tie of the Championships. Another reason to raise home expectations?
'Pretty irrelevant for now,' said Murray pragmatically.
He was delighted to beat at least one of Perry's Grand Slam records. 'I'm pleased,' he said. 'The Grand Slams are obviously the pinnacle of our sport. It shows I have done well in them.'
Watching from the Royal Box was Ross Hutchins, the friend Murray has supported through his fight against cancer. As for his (albeit relatively less weighty) health issue, the bad back that forced him to miss the French Open, he declared himself showing no ill-effects.
Taiwan's Yen-Hsun Lu awaits in the second round. Before that, the obligatory ice bath.
Marching on: Murray will now play Yen-hsun Lu of Thailand in the second round
Finally there was some good news for Australian sport as Lleyton Hewitt upset the odds to reach round two.
The 2002 men's champion beat Stanislas Wawrinka 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 to give sport Down Under some good cheer in the wake of problems in both cricket and rugby union over the past few days.
Hewitt, 32, said: 'Stan is a quality player but I felt good going into this — I certainly didn't feel like a total underdog. It was brilliant to hear a lot of Aussies in the crowd.'
THREE THINGS WE LEARNED FROM MURRAY'S WIN... by ALEX KAY
Strawberries and cream are more important than a British Grand Slam champion. Centre Court had quite a few empty seats as Andy Murray returned to the scene of his Olympic gold for the first time. As for the Royal Box, it was a third empty, although I've heard the scones are pretty good.
Andy Murray's first serve percentage needs to be higher. When it goes in, it is great – Murray won 80 per cent of points on his first serve – but only 57 per cent of his first serves were in and that is not good enough. Becker managed to win 46 per cent of points on Murray's second serve and better players will punish the world No 2 further.
Murray is one of the most intelligent players on the tour. Yes, he can start a bit slowly sometimes but that's because he's working out his opponent. As a match progresses, Murray finds weaknesses and exploits them. That is exactly what happened here. By the end, he was cruising.

New Zealand students' understanding of finance is linked to whether they are rich or poor, which is creating a ''concerning'' disparity, an OCED report suggests.
Financial literacy tests carried out by the Programme for International Student Assessment showed New Zealand has a major gap between students who scored well in financial literacy, and those at the other end who had very little understanding of managing money.
The report compared New Zealand 15-year-olds to those from other OECD countries.
The main factor in results was students' socio-economic background, Massey University's Dr Pushpa Wood said.
Wood – who helped collect the results – said those who had a higher socio-economic status tended to perform better, while those who were disadvantaged did a lot worse.
The level of disparity was ''deeply concerning'', she said.
''We must encourage some innovative, targeted programmes and delivery methods if we are to break the poverty cycle,'' she said. Results showed more than a quarter of Maori and 44 per cent of Pasifika students scored at the lowest level in the PISA rankings.
Only 10 per cent of Asian and Pakeha students scored in that low rung, the report showed.
At the other end of the spectrum, 25 per cent of Asian and 23 per cent of Pakeha students showed advanced levels of financial literacy, compared with only seven per cent of Maori and four per cent of Pasifika students.
Wood said the results confirmed theories on research and money management programmes.
She said it would serve as a basis for improving teaching programmes.
''We need more resources and teaching programmes targeting low-income families and Maori and Pasifika communities.''
The centre is due to bring together key stakeholders in a fortnight to discuss how to address the level of disparity.
On a positive note New Zealand had a significantly higher proportion of students scoring at the highest level – 19 per cent compared to the OECD average of 10 per cent.
Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has welcomed the results.
She said it gave clear insights into where improvements were needed.
"Broadly New Zealand is tracking well on financial literacy levels for the 15-year-olds tested by PISA, with competencies above many of our OECD counterparts. However, it identifies that Maori and Pacific are over-represented in the group with the lowest levels of financial literacy. It also highlights a difference between boys and girls in understanding financial fundamentals."
She added: "Financial literacy is an essential life skill and embedding it in the school curriculum makes absolute sense. We want young people to leave school equipped to make good decisions about money from an early age."

Reading program brings students, volunteers, and books togetherTuesday, April 26, 2016
An after-school program at the Talkeetna library is bringing together young students and adult community members to promote literacy skills and a lifelong love of reading. KTNA's Phillip Manning visited the program earlier this week, and has this report.
Learning to read is one of the most important things children do in their first few years of school. Literacy is an indicator not only of how well a student will do during Kindergarten through 12th Grade, but also into their adult lives. In Talkeetna, a new program is helping to give some Upper Valley students an extra boost into reading proficiency.
Talkeetna Elementary art teacher and Title I Reading Specialist Bekah Mathiessen came up with the idea for the program.
"Right after school, the kids get bused here. It's a new stop on the bus route, which is pretty awesome. And people from the community come to read with about sixteen Kindergarten to 2nd Grade kids."

Chat with Sam Khan
Welcome to GigEmNation! On Friday, reporter Sam Khan Jr. stops by to chat about the state of Texas A&M football.
Khan joined ESPN.com in 2012 after nearly seven years with the Houston Chronicle, covering the University of Houston, college sports and high school sports. Khan lives in Houston with his wife.
Send your questions now and join Khan Friday at 4 p.m. ET!
More Sam Khan Jr.: @skhanjr | Chats | Search | firstname.lastname@example.com | Blog
Sam Khan Jr. (4:02 PM)
Hello everyone! Thanks for joining. Let's get it started.
Mike (Houston)
IMO Josh Walker is a huge get for A&M. When was the last time a top defensive player held offers from UT and OU and jumped all over his A
Sam Khan Jr. (4:06 PM)
Well Hardreck Walker had an Oklahoma offer when he chose Texas A&M and current Aggie commit Kerrick Huggins has since picked up an Oklahoma offer. You might have to go back to well before I was on the beat to find a defensive player with Oklahoma and Texas offers that chose the Aggies. That's worth looking up and I'll do that.
Coach Kevin (Bright)
How do I get my boys to stop turning it over?
Sam Khan Jr. (4:17 PM)
Sorry for the delay...some technical difficulties (gotta love shaky wifi).Shouldn't you be on a plane right about now coach? All kidding aside, I think it's just something you have to continue to stress in practice week to week, which the Aggies do. Some of it comes with experience, other times its technique. Last week, there were a couple of unforced turnovers, such as the first interception which was a result of miscommunication between quarterback and receiver and another, in which the ball went right off the receiver's hands. The Aggies did a great job of taking care of the ball in the first four games, not so much lately. I think a lot of it will come as Manziel gets to understand the offense more. But with him he's going to take some risks too because he's a confident player. So sometimes, that's just going to be part of the deal.
Sam (austin)
Have you heard anything new on the Hoza Scott front yet? Still leaning A&M and when can we expect a committment?
Sam Khan Jr. (4:19 PM)
Sam (good name by the way), nothing new on the Hoza Scott front. He still likes the Aggies. Texas, LSU and Alabama all still in the mix as well but the Aggies are his no. 1. He's maintained that he wouldn't make a decision until after his junior season is over and that's still the case.
Christian (Texas)
I know Texas A&M is playing really well as of late with Johnny Manziel at QB, but do you think they should give a very talented back up QB in Matt Davis a chance too?
Sam Khan Jr. (4:22 PM)
Christian, I think the world of Matt Davis (both as a player and a person) because I covered him when he was high school and saw what a talent he was. But he's redshirting this year and if anything were to happen to Johnny Manziel, it's likely that Jameill Showers would be next in line to take snaps. And that being said, I wouldn't mess with the mojo they have with Manziel. Other than making some mistakes that are natural for a freshman, I don't see a reason why Manziel should be removed from the lineup. He's played extremely well, especially for someone who has played just seven college games. I know there's a lot of fans that like Davis, but this is Manziel's show right now and for the forseeable future.
GJ (West Houston)
It seems to me like DaMontre Moore is getting a bit overlooked by some of the media. I've seen some lists for SEC DPOY that didn't even have him in the top three. Seems absurd considering he has been the most productive DL in the country so far.
Sam Khan Jr. (4:25 PM)
GJ, there's a lot of talent in the SEC, but if Moore is not in the top three of someone's vote for SEC Defensive Player of the Year, it's my opinion that they aren't paying close attention. You could argue competition level for some of his production, but two of his best games this year came against the Aggies two toughest opponents - Florida and LSU. I don't see how he can't be considered a frontrunner for that award. He has played at an extremely high level and honestly, right now, he's playing like an early round NFL draft pick. I know that our draft experts at ESPN have certainly kept their eyes on him because of the way he has played.
Evan (CS)
It seems like A&M has about four remaining HS guys (Manning, Mitchell, RSJ, and Savaiinaea) that they are still going after to wrap up this 2013 class. Is there anyone else that has been kept under wraps that they're still pursuing and do you think they land any of these four?
Sam Khan Jr. (4:29 PM)
Of the high school 2013 guys there are some others besides those four that they're still pursuing. Mackensie Alexander, a 5-star cornerback from Florida, is one of them. He was at the LSU game last week and still has other visits to take but he's one they're chasing. Also, Oklahoma LB commit Jordan Mastrogiovanni is one they're still recruiting. He also attended the LSU game. Another name of someone who will visit later in the year is Upland (California) DE Joe Mathis. As for the four you mentioned, I do think they land one or two of those. I'd guess Ricky Seals-Jones is one of the ones they land and if I had to guess another, I'd flip a coin between Manning and Savaiinaea (I'll say Manning).
Danny (Newport Beach, CA)
Mr. Khan, I don't want to get ahead of myself here with a road game at Auburn but from what you've seen from Miss St (and we'll know more after their game tomorrow) what do you think the keys to an A&M victory in Starkville is (aside from turnovers)? I see that being the biggest "swing" game left on our schedule and a W could get us to a 9-3 record going into bowl season. Cheers!
Sam Khan Jr. (4:38 PM)
Danny, I think you partially answered the question in that tomorrow will give us a better feel for Mississippi State. The Bulldogs schedule has not been strong, so it's hard to know how good they truly are. That being said, you can only win the games on your schedule and they've done that, so they deserve credit for it. One thing I like about the Bulldogs is that they play with a lot of confidence and they don't appear to fear anybody. The biggest keys for the Aggies to go in there and get a win next week will be, in my opinion, establishing their ground game and making the Bulldogs respect that, getting off to a quick start and like you said, taking care of the ball. I agree with you in that it's the biggest swing game of the season for the Aggies.
Hutch (Dallas)
When do you think Ricky Seals-Jones makes his decision and if you had to make a guess who he would choose, what does your gut tell you?
Sam Khan Jr. (4:52 PM)
Seals-Jones has gone on record saying that he'll make a decision after his high school season is over. So that will probably be some time in December. If I had to guess, my gut tells me he'll pick the Aggies.
Jeff (South Tejas)
Any guesses on the future of Kyle Field (rumor says regents will vote on plan next month)...
Sam Khan Jr. (4:54 PM)
Jeff, my guess is that they'll do the renovation in stages and not take the games out of College Station. I think the concern over the money that the town would lose if the Aggies played off campus for a year will push decision-makers to elect to keep the games at Kyle while the renovation is ongoing.
WaffleHouseAg (Dallas)
Who would win in a fight, Steve Solari or Johnny Manziel?
Sam Khan Jr. (4:55 PM)
Trick question because Johnny Football doesn't fight. He evaporates foes by vaporizing them.
Robert (Louisiana)
Any word on some of the Aggies that may be dinged up in the Auburn game? Mike Evans sure was grabbing his hammy alot vs. LSU
Sam Khan Jr. (4:56 PM)
Injury info is pretty tight around Aggieland, but my guess is the Aggies won't be missing any key players like Evans or Damontre Moore come game time. Sumlin mentioned guys knowing the difference between being "hurt" and "injured." I don't think any key guys will be out.
Jaxson (White Oak)
Do you see Showers, Joekel, or Davis transferring after the season? They are all underclassmen and with Kohl Stewart and Kenny Hill coming in, the position is a bit crowded.
Sam Khan Jr. (4:58 PM)
Jaxson, I wouldn't be surprised to see one of those guys transfer if Manziel keeps the stranglehold he has on the position now. Stewart's not a given in the 2013 class because of the baseball situation (could be a first-round MLB draft pick). If I had to guess, I'd guess Davis since he's not as deep into his career and degree as the other guys you mentioned are. That being said, I know Davis loves Aggieland too.
Robert (Louisiana)
Hypothetical situation: A&M closes out the season at 9-3, while Texas loses another game or two and finishes at 9-3 or 8-4. How likely would a Cotton Bowl showdown be?
Sam Khan Jr. (5:01 PM)
I think there would be a decent chance. Cotton gets to choose the first Big 12 team that's not a BCS team, so I guess the question is whether Texas will be that team? Right now, Texas Tech looks on track to be that team, assuming someone like Oklahoma goes to a BCS game.
Jim (Houston)
What are the chances A&M pulls the upset at Alabama?
Sam Khan Jr. (5:02 PM)
Jim, I think the chances are slim. I think the Aggies will be in the game (Ole Miss gave 'Bama some fits with no-huddle, up-tempo offense) but going into Tuscaloosa and pulling out a win against a team of that quality is a tough feat.
Ryan Swope (College Station)
Sam, Where would I be drafted if the season ended today?
Sam Khan Jr. (5:03 PM)
Might have to ask Mel Kiper or Todd McShay, they're the draft experts around these parts. If the season ended today, my shot in the dark guess is later rounds (5-6-7).
AustinAg (Not B/CS)
Any injuries to report for tomorrow's game? I know Swope and Evans have been banged up the past two weeks. Thanks!
Sam Khan Jr. (5:04 PM)
Nothing major or notable that I'm aware of. I think both of those guys will play.
Juicy (Dallas)
What is the deal with Jamar Gibson out of Baytown. ESPN 150 WR but seems to have little interest from any programs, including Aggies. What gives? All the field issues?
Sam Khan Jr. (5:06 PM)
Off the field issues would be the word. From what I understand, unlikely he'll qualify and I'll have to check but I'm not sure if he's playing varsity ball right now. I know he was ruled ineligible when he transferred schools. It appears unlikely he'll be playing D-I ball in 2013.
Rene (College Station)
Chances A&M puts three guys in top 15 in this years draft? (Moore, Joeckel, Matthews)
Sam Khan Jr. (5:10 PM)
I'd say it's unlikely all three happen to go that high. First, I'm not sure that all three will declare for the draft. But if we are to assume that all three declare, I think it's possible all three are first round picks, but not necessarily top 15. I think the two tackles are in good shape to go high. I would like to see more draft experts evaluate Moore, because it's kind of difficult to gauge where scouts sit with him right now. Clearly, he's winning a lot of supporters because of his play. How that's balanced out with last year's performance, size then whatever he would do at things like the combine are all things that would factor into whether he could vault that high. But I don't see why, if the season ended today, he couldn't be someone picked in the top couple of rounds.
Sam Khan Jr. (5:13 PM)
Alright folks, that will just about do it for this week. Thanks for joining as always and see you next time!

Memory Loss
It's well known that as you get older the memory starts to go. I've just spent about two hours looking for a small torch... I'll start at the beginning...
I was sorting out my camera bag today ready for a photo shoot thats coming up and while going through the odds and sod's side of the bag I noticed there was a small torch missing, it's a cree Q5, single AA battery and quite bright for it's size, anyway it's not where it lives in my camera bag.
I start looking for it, is it in my small bag?... No. Is it in my rucksack, well theres one in there but not the one from the camera bag. Then I start working my way through my coat pockets... No, it turns up all sorts of stuff including a car wing mirror (the pockets are bigger on the inside like Dr Who Tardis) but again not the missing torch. At this point I start wondering if I've lost it, has it fallen out or have I lent it to somebody? I try to remember when I last used it (I have a torch in my pocket normally anyway) so it isn't used that often. Then I remember going out to shoot some "night vision" bigfoot videos... Ands thats when the penny dropped! I remembered I'd taped the torch to my monopod to help light me up for the video... Bugger!!! Two bloody hours wasted because my memories going...
Next week it'll be "where the bloody hell am I?" if my memory gets much worse....

National botanical gardens Wales.
We took my mother there a few days ago for a day out, I'd been there once before but only as far as the front gate (very long story) so I've never seen the inside.
We ended up wandering around for 5 hours, thank goodness they have wheelchairs to borrow.
Anyway heres some pics Keep in mind I'm traveling light so no autofocus lens.

Referendum results
17.6 million voted to leave the EU and 16.1 voted to stay in, I suspect the leave figures would have been much higher if the panic ridden scaremongering telling us shit like we'd all die from fish tank poisoning if we left the EU.
To be honest it should really be illegal to make false made up claims to influence a vote or referendum.
Still it's a result, now watch the rest of the EU self destruct. (not that it had far to go)

1. Field of the Invention
The invention disclosed relates generally to the structure of electrical terminals for resistance elements and more particularly to such structures in household appliances having glass-cased resistive heater elements in contact with spring-loaded connectors from a supply of electrical energy.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Enclosed elements for household heating or cooking appliances are well-known and have been used to protect users from electrical shock and to hold the heater wire in position. Danger of damage occasioned by transmitted shocks or mechanical forces is also minimized by the support and protection afforded by the enclosure. Where the enclosure is a medium relatively transparent to thermal radiation, e.g. glass, the transfer of heat by this mode is substantially unimpeded, but the limitations of glass as a structural material ordinarily require use of heater terminals having multi-part, complex structures with the electrical circuit consequently including a number of contact resistances which potentially cause undesired heat generation in the termination and resultant high temperatures in the contact area due to current flow. Such high temperatures shorten the useful life of parts in adjacent areas. Examples of known art are U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,790,885, 3,663,799 and 3,669,004. The first of these three patents shows a terminal having a cylindrical portion axially fitted into a glass bushing overlying a protective glass case for a ribbon heater element. By heating the bushing and compressing it around the cylindrical portion of the terminal and around an end of the heater ribbon led out to and riveted to the terminal, the bushing provides proper support and a seal for the terminal. The second patent of those cited shows a special extension with internal shoulders against which an insulating material is seated. The third patent, assigned to the same assignee as the current application, shows a spring-clip cap fitted over the tube end together with a contact rivet centrally located in the face of the cap and used for fastening one end of the heater element wire to the cap.
Typical multi-part terminations, while acceptable, are subject to the above-mentioned deficiencies leading to an initial cost higher than that of the structure herein disclosed and a shorter life because of higher contact temperatures caused by heat generation in the termination. Other examples showing similar complex structures and exhibiting substantially the same deficiencies are U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,667,857, 1,832,466, and RE 23679. For the reasons given above, there is needed a simpler termination applicable to elements having tubular transparent protective casings which will accommodate variations of diameter and length for seating purposes and also which exhibit lower cost, longer life, less heat generation in the terminal, and less heat flow to the energy-supply connection area.
The invention provides an improved termination for an electrical resistance element comprising an open-end insulating tubular case, the open end defining a peripheral edge and the case sheathing a resistance member having two ends, the improvement comprising combination thereof with at least one elongate, unitary termination having a first portion affixed to one of said two ends of the resistance member and a second portion in a shape adapted for direct engagement with the peripheral edge of said case. Further, the improved element may be used with the terminal in contact with a resiliently-biased connection system in which a projecting contact engages the interior of the case and the termination to provide both location of the tubular case and close electrical communication. Other features of the invention will be evident from the detailed explanation given below with reference to the appended drawing.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the terminal according to the invention, the terminal being shown in cooperative engagement with a spring-loaded cup-shaped connection member having an energizing contact at the base of the cup, the cup serving to locate the heating element.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the terminal of FIG. 1, the terminal here being shown in the process of being brought into (or removed from) cooperation with the cup-shaped connection member.
FIG. 3 shows yet another arrangement in which the terminal of FIG. 1 is shown in cooperation with a resiliently-biased contact having a projection engaging the interior of the heater element case.
FIG. 4 shows yet another embodiment of the terminal wherein an angularly projecting portion is provided.
In FIG. 1 is shown a first embodiment of the terminal according to the invention as applied to an electrical resistance unit in a household appliance, e.g. a heater element for a toaster or oven of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,669,004, for instance. The resistance unit is generally designated at 1 and comprises an insulating case 2, a resistance element 3 inserted therein, and--according to the invention--at one or both ends of elements 3, an elongated unitary terminal 5 described in greater detail subsequently. Case 2 may conveniently be a cylindrical tube preferably made of a high-temperature resistant glass such as Vycor, a trademark of Corning Glass Works. Resistance element 3 may utilize any known resistance wire such as a nickel-chromium alloy, but is preferably made of "Kanthal D" or "Alkrothal," trademarks of the Kanthal Corporation. Resistance element 3 may conveniently be wound into a helix and is solidly fastened at each end to a respective one of the terminals 5 as indicated at 4 in FIG. 1. The fastening may be achieved, for example, by overlapping an end of element 3 and an adjacent end of terminal 5, followed by spotwelding. Other known forms of fastening which lead to a good electrical junction could likewise be employed, of course.
The material of terminal 5 and its cross-sectional area are preferably selected with a view to obtaining an optimum balance between heat generation due to the electrical resistivity and heat flow to the contact region due to the thermal conductivity of the material. In this respect, applicant has found the preferable materials to be nickel and iron or alloys thereof. A particular nickel-iron alloy which has been found most suitable is one containing 70% nickel and 30% iron, known as "Balco" (TM) and supplied by Wilbur B. Driver Co. of Newark, New Jersey. The cross-sectional area must likewise be balanced between a large area for minimum heat generation and small area for minimum heat flow. Once the material has been chosen, the optimum area can be determined by actual tests.
Each terminal 5 (only one being shown in FIG. 1) is an elongated member conveniently made of a length of the above-mentioned alloy in strip-form with rectangular cross section and shaped into a tube-end engaging means 6 at its end remote from the spotwelded junction 4. Tube-end engaging means 6 may be made, for instance, by bending the strip into a U-shape hereinafter referred to as hook 6. As seen in FIG. 1, hook 6 engages the periphery of tube 2 at the tube end 7, and has a coating 8 of low electrical contact resistance which coating may, for example, be a noble metal such as silver or gold supplied by electroplating or puddling before or after forming hook 6. Though only needed on that surface of hook 6 which will contact a current-carrying element 10 providing a flexible connection to a supply of electrical energy (not shown), the protective coating 8 may be applied, if more convenient, around all sides and the ends of U-shaped hook 6.
Element 10 comprises a resilient support and an electrical contact. The resilient support is a buss member 14 and may be a cantilevered strip made by electrically-conductive spring metal, e.g. stainless steel or beryllium copper. The contact in element 10 is located near the free end of buss member 14 and may be an eyelet 12 as shown in FIGS. 1 & 2 or may alternatively be a solid rivet--as seen in FIG. 3. The eyelet 12 not only serves to make electrical union with hook 6 through a face 11 opposite plating 8, but also is the means by which a cup-shaped socket 13 is affixed to buss member 14, the socket 13 being designed to receive the end 7 of heater element 1. It will be evident that resilience in member 14 is required to provide contact-making pressure between eyelet 12 and coating 8 and to provide means for release of heater element 1 for replacement or other purposes, as shown in FIG. 2.
Buss member 14 is mounted on an insulating post 15 (or other similar frame member of an appliance) by means of a fastener 16 (which may be a screw or rivet, as is known). Fastener 16 clamps the fixed end of buss member 14 to a conductor 17 supported on post 15 and connected to a supply of electrical energy in known fashion.
The tube-end 7 has been depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2 as being planar and "square," that is--orthogonal to the tube axis (not shown). In the process of producing long runs of parts, wear in the cut-off tools for the tubes may cause raggedness (non-planarity) of the ends. Flame polishing to remove raggedness and sharp edges may leave slight beads or raised areas on the edges. Furthermore, imprecision in setting of the cut-off tools from batch to batch may cause significant variation in the squareness of the cut. These imperfections may be such as to effect the reliability of the above-described socket-type contact arrangement.
While the embodiment of FIGS. 1 & 2 shows use of eyelet 12 making electrical contact to terminal 5, this structure may be improved, as shown in FIG. 3, by using a domed contact 19 affixed to buss member 14. Contact 19 may conveniently be a solid rivet staked to buss member 14 near the free end of that member and having a contact face 20 which engages the interior of tube 2a at its end 7a. In contrast with the tube 2, the end 7 of which is "square," one or both of the ends 7a of tube 2a may be non-planar and non-orthogonal to the tube axis (not indicated). To illustrate this in FIG. 3, a planar, orthogonal end 7 similar to that for tube 2 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is indicated by the dotted lines for comparison with the solid line 7a. The non-planar end can be extensive enough to cause the tube end 7 to bear against eyelet 12 thus preventing terminal coating 8 from making electrical contact with eyelet 12. The domed contact is designed to minimize the effect of the above-described variations. The cross sectional shape of contact face 20 is shown as arcuate in FIG. 3, the dome of contact 19 thus being indicated to be spherical but it could be a frustum of a cone, or other desired body of revolution, providing that it tapers in the direction away from the region of abutment against buss member 14. The taper must be sufficient, of course, to permit the contact to extend into the interior of tube 2a at end 7a. Projection of a portion of the domed contact 19 into tube end 7 provides a locating function and assures that contact will be made between contact 19 and terminal 5. It will be clear, of course, that the rivet 19 should be made of or coated with material of low electrical contact resistance such as the silver previously disclosed or an equivalent thereof.
In order to retain the basic structure of the terminal of FIG. 1 and yet avoid the previously-mentioned problems possibly arising from non-planar and non-orthogonal ends 7a, another embodiment disclosing a slightly different shape for the elongated unitary terminal 5 is shown in FIG. 4, this shape being designed to overcome the limitations of the structure of FIG. 1 when variations in the planarity and "squareness" of the cut ends 7a of high-volume production lots of tubes 2a are of concern.
In FIG. 4, there is depicted an elongated unitary terminal 5a having a formed end 22 which differs from the embodiment of FIGS. 1 & 2 only in that the U-shape has a skewed base, the skew being provided to a degree sufficient to cause projection of a portion of the end 22 beyond the furthest reaches of the end 7a, such that contact between the silver plating 8 on end 22 of terminal 5a and the contact face 11 of eyelet 12 is assured regardless of variations in the planarity and "squareness" of ends 7a in a batch of tubes from any given production run.
As will now be evident to those skilled in the art, use of a unitary, elongated terminal dispenses with the multiplicity of parts such as members for supporting and centering a precious-metal contact, say, at each end of the heater assembly. Not only does such use produce a lower cost type of construction by eliminating unnecessary parts, but it results furthermore in less heat rise in the contact area because of the elimination of a possibly high electrical junction resistance near the eyelet contact 12 (or 19).
The foregoing description of a simplified termination for an electrical resistance element comprises a protective, electrically insulating tubular case 2, a resistance element 3, and an elongated unitary terminal 5, located at one end, at least, of element 3 and engaging the corresponding end 7 of case 2. The termination is particularly useful with a resilient connection 10 to an electrical supply, the connection having a projecting contact 19 on a resilient buss member 14, the electrical circuit being completed through cooperation between elongated unitary terminal 5 and contact 19 on the interior of a case 2a having non-planar, out-of-square ends 7a.
