    Abstract: An ignition coil for an internal combustion engine and a method of making the same in which layers of the secondary winding are separated by a non-filtering/non-segregating material embedded in an electrically insulated ignition coil housing. The preferred non-filtering secondary winding separator is a solid filament, non-absorbing/non-adsorbing mesh, such as a nylon mesh. Using the non-filtering/non-segregating secondary winding separator prevents filler damming when an ignition coil housing is manufactured using a vacuum encapsulation and curing process in which an encapsulation compound (e.g. a thermal setting epoxy) has solid additives (e.g. sand fillers). Non-absorbing/non-adsorbing separators are also advantageous because the separators do not alter the chemistry of the encapsulation compound.

  • Patent number: 5838220
    Abstract: Toroidal transformers and other toroidal magnetic components need insulation between separate windings. International safety standards specify minimum requirements for both total insulation thickness and number of layers of insulation. The safety requirements can be met by a toroidal transformer insulation method and toroidal transformer having, in combination, a wide sheet of insulation material covering the outside perimeter and the top and bottom radial surfaces of a winding but not entering into the center hole, and wrapping with a narrow strip of insulation material for covering the entire winding and the wide sheet of insulation material. Because the wide sheet adds insulation on the outside perimeter of the winding, which is larger then the inside perimeter of the center hole, the outer wrapping with the narrow strip need only provide the insulation actually required on the inside perimeter of the center hole.

  • Patent number: 4291292
    Abstract: Attachment of external electric supply lead wires to an electromagnetic coil assembly is done by a method using a harness base strip of resilient plastic insulating material having the two leads attached to the strip and the strip formed with a point and latching aperture portion for snapping onto the coil. The leads are twisted to the coil wire ends, soldered and laid flat against the outer face of the strip. A tailend portion of the strip is then wrapped over the soldered joints with subsequent taping, if desired.

  • Patent number: 4222023
    Abstract: An electrical coil assembly comprises a rectangular annular coil and a dustproof cover therefor. The cover is formed of a folded blank of electrically insulating sheet material which has a rectangular annular portion with a rectangular aperture. A first pair of opposed flaps and a second pair of opposed flaps are integrally joined to the external periphery of the portion. Each flap has a first tongue portion which is passed through the aperture and a second tongue portion which overlies a respective side of the aperture in the coil. The width of each tongue portion is greater than the length of the respective side of the aperture in the coil. The width of each tongue portion is not greater than the length of the respective side of the apertures. This blank is easy to assemble into a cover and there is a reduced risk of tearing the flaps.

  • Patent number: 4160967
    Abstract: An electrical coil assembly comprises a rectangular, flat annular coil and a flexible annular covering of, for example, fibre board sheet surronding the coil so as to provide a substantially dustproof seal. The covering is formed by folding and glueing a blank around the coil. The blank comprises a rectangular annular portion a first pair of flaps extending one from each of two opposite outer peripheral sides of the annular portion, a second pair of flaps extending one from each of two opposite sides of the inner periphery of the annular portion and further flaps extending from the outer periphery of the annular portion. The annular portion is provided with fold lines and is of a size, when folded, to overlie opposite faces of the coil and the flaps fold around the inner and outer peripheries of the coil to provide a substantially dustproof seal.

  • Patent number: 4137515
    Abstract: A synthetic resin packed coil assembly formed by a wound spiral of a number of bundled turns of insulated wire comprises at least one layer enveloping the bundled turns of insulated wire of the wound spiral. This layer is composed of a synthetic resin reinforced by a high strength fibrous material and is formed by first winding the high strength fibrous material around the bundled turns of insulated wire of the wound spiral, subsequently impregnating a solution of the synthetic resin and finally allowing the synthetic resin to harden.

  • Patent number: 3946350
    Abstract: A coil assembly for bobbin wound transformer includes a spacer between the end turns of a primary and secondary windings, which spacer is molded from synthetic resin material. The molded spacer includes an inner body portion which covers the surface of the primary winding, and a marginal portion which extends outwardly along the inner sidewall of the flange of the bobbin. The marginal portion sufficiently separates that portion of the outer secondary winding which is disposed along the flange of the bobbin.

  • Patent number: 3939450
    Abstract: A bobbin wound electrical coil assembly wherein external leads connected to the coil ends are secured in the flanges of the bobbin. Connector terminals connecting external lead ends and coil ends are fixed in sockets formed in one bobbin flange to preclude pulling stress on the coil end connections, and slots in the periphery of the other bobbin flange receive portions of the external leads spaced from their connected ends. A snap-on insulating cover having tabs which engage holes in the flanges of the bobbin extends between the bobbin flanges and over the external leads to cover the connections and to retain the external lead portions in the slots in the bobbin flange.
