Patents by Inventor Tibor Kormendy

Tibor Kormendy has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Center molded capacitor
    Patent number: 6483693
    Abstract: A first mold die and a second mold die are moved together and are shaped to define a mold cavity therebetween. A capacitor pellet is positioned within the mold cavity and a plurality of projections extend inwardly to engage the capacitor pellet and hold it spaced away from the cavity side wall.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 15, 2001
    Date of Patent: November 19, 2002
    Assignee: Vishay Sprague, Inc.
    Inventors: Tibor Kormendy, Michel J. Richard, John Y. Cadwallader, Kyle E. Clark
  • Capacitor termination assembly
    Patent number: 6411499
    Abstract: A capacitor includes a pellet molded within a protective material and having a cathode termination surface at one end and an anode wire extending from the other end. The cathode termination surface is centered with respect to the longitudinal axis of the capacitor. The method includes centering the pellet body and a tear drop shaped conductive cathode element within a mold and molding a protective coating around them. After the molding is complete a portion of the tear drop shaped member is removed to create a cathode termination.

  • Capacitor mold
    Publication number: 20020048146
    Abstract: A first mold die and a second mold die are moved together and are shaped to define a mold cavity therebetween. A capacitor pellet is positioned within the mold cavity and a plurality of projections extend inwardly to engage the capacitor pellet and hold it spaced away from the cavity side wall. The method comprises placing the pellet body within the cavity molding and retentively engaging the pellet body with a plurality of projections to provide a space between the pellet body and the cavity side wall. A molding material is used to fill the space to provide a coating on the pellet body.
