Patent number: 9035523Abstract: The invention relates to a coil (1), in particular for an electric machine, in particular a transformator or an electromechanical converter, in particular an electric motor, for guiding an electric current for producing a magnetic field. Said coil consists of individual windings (2) that are essentially embodied as a flat body thus obtaining a tightly packed structure when the windings (2) are superimposed, and respectively, each winding (2) comprises at least one circulating conductor path with the exception of at least one electric interruption on one side. Said conductor path of a winding (2) comprises, on one point, an electroconductive connection with a conductor path of an adjacent winding (2). The windings (2) are incidentally, essentially electrically isolated to each other.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2009Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG, WürzburgInventor: Marcus Podack
