  • Patent number: 4580122
    Abstract: The secondary winding (15) and the coil body (14) carrying it are manufactured in a chambered realization, and the radial extension (height) of each chamber winding (29) decreases toward the higher chamber potential in accordance with the law of geometrical progression, so that the insulating distance (30, 31) between the secondary winding (15) and areas of the ignition coil that carry a lower potential increases with an increasingly higher chamber potential.As a result, the volume and the weight of the ignition coil are reduced, while the electrical output remains the same.

  • Patent number: 4507628
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electromagnetic type delay line comprising an inductance element formed of a coiled conductor and a plurality of capacitors connecting the conductor to ground and consequently possessing a plurality of sections. The inductance element is formed by coiling the conductor at a prescribed pitch in the shape of a single-layer solenoid. In the inductance element, the one-turn pitch P and half-turn pitch B are selected so as to satisfy the expression, B/P.gtoreq.1.0. Owing to this construction, the coupling coefficients between the individual sections of the inductance element can be easily approximated to the theoretically optimum values.

  • Patent number: 4477790
    Abstract: An electrical inductive apparatus, for example a transformer or a reactor, comprises a core and at least one winding wound around the core and formed of a plurality of superimposed turns of sheet-formed electrically-conducting material. The winding includes at least one element which, together with a surface of at least one of the turns of the winding, defines a plurality of channels for conducting an electrically-insulating fluid in contact with a part of said surface. These channels are defined between adjacent pairs of a plurality of connected together elongated spacing means of the element which are arranged in substantially parallel spaced relationship and which contact said surface. Each spacing means has a thickness which increases from a central region of the spacing means towards each of its opposite ends. This enables the turns of the winding to be flared out at their opposite ends in a suitable manner with respect to the electrical properties of the winding.

  • Patent number: 4471336
    Abstract: A sheet winding (7) in a transformer is made with double-curved conductor sheets. Some of the winding turns are mutually different as regards the curvature visible in an axial section. This has been achieved by arranging a number of filling members at each one of the end surfaces of the winding. Each filling member contains several turns of a filling tape (14), which are evenly distributed in a group of mutually adjacently positioned winding turns wound from a conductor sheet (9). Because the filling tape has different degrees of overlap in the different turns of the conductor sheet (9), the filling member will have approximately the same effect as a filling body which, in axial section, exhibits a wedge-shaped cross-section area.

  • Patent number: 4453100
    Abstract: A coil element of the invention is formed by a flat ring-shaped original winding. Reference lines which pass the central point form angles .alpha. and .beta.. Points at intersections of the periphery of the flat ring-shaped original winding and the reference lines are thus determined. Bending lines which extend from the points and which form an angle .phi. with the reference lines are determined. The flat ring-shaped original winding is divided into first and second coil segments. The first coil segment is bent along the bending lines and pressed on part of the second coil segment to manufacture the coil element.

The electromagnetic work coil comprises a cylinder formed of a spirally wound metal strip whose convolutions are electrically insulated from one another by coatings or layers of electrical insulation. In one form, slots and holes, located in the walls of the coil, control the electrical current density within the coil to thereby produce the desired locally concentrated magnetic field. In another form, the ends of the coils are machined such that at least one magnetic field concentration projection projects outwardly from one annular end of the coil. The other end of the coil is machined such that it is a mirror image of the projection end.
