Each of the plate members has an opening through which a terminal lead of a magnetic coil extends. The core body has a boss with an edge which is plastically deformed outwardly in the radius direction thereof or staked to create an elastic nip which retains the stack of the plate members firmly on the core body. This structure ensures the joint between the disc assembly and the core body to withstand mechanical impact exerted on the magnetic core and stability in operation of the magnet switch without increasing a total production cost of the magnetic switch.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2008Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Shinji Usami, Tomohiro Teramachi

Patent number: 7948338Abstract: An electromagnetic switch is provided which is equipped with a built-in electronic control circuit working to control energization of an exciting coil. The electronic control circuit is disposed within a chamber defined by a magnetic plate to be separate from a contact chamber. In other words, the electronic control circuit is disposed between the magnetic plate and the exciting coil, thereby avoiding the adhesion of conductive dusts, as arising from the wear of contacts, to the surface of the electronic control circuit. This results in decreases in electric insulation and short-circuit of the electronic control circuit and also eliminates the need for additional special parts to electrically insulate and shield the electronic control circuit, thus permitting the electromagnetic switch to be reduced in size and produced at a decreased const.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2009Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Masami Niimi, Yoshiaki Suzuki

Patent number: 7944333Abstract: A low cost, sealed contactor comprises a hermetically sealed housing with a flat header having internal components for changing the state of said contactor. Terminals are electrically connected to the internal components for connection to internal circuitry and applying an electrical signal to control the state of the contactor. A solenoid-driven plunger with a hollow shaft is included. Power-reducing electronics located within the hermetically sealed housing are also included. Two contact springs are also included to improve electrical performance. O-rings are added to help seal the contactor and keep it hermetically sealed.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2007Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Gigavac LLCInventors: Brent J. Swartzentruber, Mike Molyneux, Daniel C. Sullivan

Publication number: 20110025439Abstract: An actuating magnet is provided for a magnetic valve for a nonmagnetic pressure pipe, that is connected to at least one pole body, in which an armature is developed, and onto which at least two annular sleeves, having a ring lying between them, are slipped, in whose area a gap is situated that is developed between the armature and the pole body. Thereby, the actuating magnet may be developed in a simple manner by slipping annular sleeves and separating rings onto the pressure pipe.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2009Publication date: February 3, 2011Inventors: Juergen Rettinger, Harald Hahn, Liebhart Zaiser, Lorenz Lippert

Patent number: 7871060Abstract: A solenoid actuator includes a generally cylindrical armature captured to a generally annular coil tube by means of interference geometry. A major portion of the coil tube has a first inside diameter and a second portion of the coil tube has a second, smaller inside diameter. A first portion of the armature has an outside diameter corresponding to the inside diameter of the first portion of the coil tube, and a second portion of the armature has an outside diameter corresponding to the inside diameter of the second portion of the coil tube. The armature is inserted within the coil tube such that the second portion of the armature is free to slide through the second end of the coil tube. A coil tube end closure, for example, a plug, is joined to the first portion of the coil tube. An O-ring provides a seal between the end closure and the tube. A wound electromagnetic coil surrounds the coil tube and can be selectively energized to displace the armature.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2006Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Armour Magnetic Components, Inc.Inventor: John Armour
