Publication number: 20240128002Abstract: A Magnet structure with a plurality of individual magnets having a reinforced connection. This invention relates to a magnet structure (2) in three dimensions having cutouts (4 to 7) extending along a height of the magnet structure (2) and forming groups of cutouts. Each cutout is interrupted, forming two parts (4, 6; 5, 7) in the height direction, leaving a material-filled gap between them. The gaps of one group form a heel portion (8a, 8b), the cutouts (4 to 7) delimiting between them individual magnets (3) connected to one another by the heel. At least one gap between one cutout of one group is at a height different from at least one gap between a cutout of another group so that portions of them extend at least partly over different height levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Whylot SASInventors: Vasile MIHAILA, Romain RAVAUD
