  • Patent number: 6211766
    Abstract: A step-up coil of a high-voltage transformer for powering a cathode-ray tube comprises windings housed in chambers of a coil former. These windings are made in pairs. The inner end of the first winding of the pair is connected to an electrode of a first diode, the inner end of the second winding of the pair is connected to the electrode of like nature of the second diode, or alternatively, the outer end of the first winding of the pair is connected to an electrode of the first diode, the outer end of the second winding of the pair being connected to the electrode of like nature of the second diode. The inter-winding capacitances of the windings of the pair are thus non-activated, the corollary of this being a decrease in the value of stray oscillations of the output voltages.

  • Patent number: 6177855
    Abstract: A transformer, comprising: a closed ferrite magnetic circuit having an air gap; a rigid component filling a portion of the air gap; and, a flexible material filling the remainder of the air gap to substantially absorb vibrations of the ferrite. In the case of air gaps greater than approximately 1 mm, the flexible material fills approximately 1 mm of the air gap and the rigid component fills the remainder of the air gap. The rigid component may be of non magnetic, synthetic resin material. The flexible material may be a one component mastic, for example polysulfur, polysulfate polysulphide or polyurethane. The flexible material may also be a silicone type mastic, for example a neutral silicone.

  • Patent number: 5982263
    Abstract: Transformer (1) for switched-mode power supply, equipped with a former (6) having chambers (9), each chamber (9) containing windings (15, 16), each winding (15, 16) having an outer side surface (18) generated by a straight line moving parallel to an axis (AA') of the former, and characterized in that the generatrices of all the outermost surfaces (18) of the windings (15, 16) contained in each of the chambers (9) are identically the same for all the outermost surfaces (18) of the windings (15, 16) of each of the chambers, these generatrices thus forming a unique cylindrical surface parallel to the axis (AA') of the former (6).
