  • Adhesive coated electrical conductors
    Patent number: 4204087
    Abstract: An electrical conductor having a plurality of sides which define a generally rectangular cross-sectional configuration is coated with an electrical insulating material on all sides. An adhesive coating having a predetermined thickness and width dimension is applied to only a selected side of the conductor. The thickness of the adhesive is reduced, and the width of the adhesive coating is increased, when the conductor is wound into a coil having a plurality of turns, and the coil is heated to fuse the adhesive coating and provide an adhesive bond between the turns of the coil.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 21, 1978
    Date of Patent: May 20, 1980
    Assignee: Westinghouse Electric Corp.
