  • Patent number: 4424505
    Abstract: A coil assembly has a pair of terminals mounted in blind slots in the small flange of a bobbin. Magnet wire is connected to one terminal, wound on the bobbin and connected to the other terminal. Insulated lead wires are connected to the terminals by crimping and then soldering each terminal. Then the terminals are bent over the coil and the insulated wires are pressed through a slot leading to an opening in the larger flange. A cover encloses the bobbin and snaps over the rim of the large flange to complete the assembly.

  • Patent number: 4383234
    Abstract: The permanent magnet is mounted within the coil in engagement with the magnetic frame so when the coil is energized by a pulse of DC voltage of polarity giving a coil flux aiding the magnet the plunger is actuated against the bias of the spring to move the plunger close enough to the magnet to be retained. A pluse of opposite polarity gives a coil flux opposing the magnet flux so the holding force is less than the spring force and the plunger is moved to its inactive position.

  • Patent number: 4334164
    Abstract: Each of the motor stator poles has a window cut out which functions to create an unbalanced flux distribution and move the magnetic neutral off the centerline of the stator pole. A plurality of permanent magnet rotors are mounted on a common shaft to permit a desired rotor to be moved into the stator field. Each rotor has a different number of poles selected so with any rotor there will always be a whole odd number of poles within the span of a stator pole. Speed is determined by the number of poles in the rotor in operative position.

  • Patent number: 4003010
    Abstract: When the electromagnet (relay) is energized, the plunger is pulled into the coil against the bias of the plunger spring. The pin projecting laterally from the plunger is captive in the opening in the cam pivoted on the frame. The pin moves down and strikes a ramp portion in the cam and is deflected to the bottom of the notch where it impacts the cam and rotates it to a position in which the cam surface actuates the switch actuator. The internal switch spring acting on the actuator exerts force on the cam surface and cooperates with the contour to hold the cam in either position. When the coil is de-energized, the plunger moves out and the pin is deflected by the return guide surface of the frame to pass to the opposite side of the cam centerline and into position to actuate the cam in the opposite sense when the coil is again energized.
