Apparatus for effecting coil-placing operations in inductive devices and method of manufacturing same

Claim 1

AN ELECTRICAL INDUCTIVE APPARATUS FOR EFFECTING COILPLACING OPERATIONS IN INDUCTIVE DEVICES COMPRISING AN INDUCTIVE FIXTURE HAVING WINDING MEANS FOR CONNECTION IN CIRCUIT WITH A SOURCE OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A SURGE OF PRESELECTED MAGNITUDE; AND BODY MEANS FOR RETAINING THE WINDING MEANS IN A FIXED POSITION ADJACENT COILS IN AN INDUCTIVE DEVICE AS THE SURGE IS BEING INJECTED INTO SAID WINDING MEANS TO CAUSE ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCES TO BE EXERTED ON THE COILS FOR EFFECTING PLACEMENT THEREOF RELATIVE TO THE DEVICE; AND MEANS COUPLED TO THE BODY MEANS FOR SELECTIVELY IMPARTING LINEAR MOTION TO THE BODY MEANS AND WINDING MEANS AND FOR PREVENTING MOVEMENT THEREOF AS THE SURGE IS BEING INJECTED INTO SAID WINDING MEANS.

Claim 3

THE METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN INDUCTIVE FIXTURE OF ELECTRICAL INDUCTIVE APPARATUS FOR EFFECTING COIL-PLACING OPERATIONS IN INDUCTIVE DEVICES COMPRISING THE STEPS OF WINDING A PLURALITY OF TURNS FROM NON-CIRCULAR CONDUCTOR MATERIAL HAVING MAJOR AND MINOR CONFIGURATIONS; MOUNTING THE WOUND TURNS ON A RIGID BODY HAVING A FIRST SECTION PROJECTING CENTRALLY OF THE TURNS AND A SECOND SECTION DISPOSED BENEATH THE MINOR CROSS-SECTION DIMENSIONS OF THE TURNS FOR SUPPORT THEREOF, WITH THE FIRST SECTION HAVING A PAIR OF CURVED WALL PORTIONS FACING THE MAJOR CROSSSECTION DIMENSION OF THE INNERMOST TURNS; AND ENCASING THE TURNS AND RIGID BODY IN HARDENED MATERIAL FOR RETAINING THE RELATIVE POSITIONS OF THE TURNS AND BODY SECTIONS, WITH TERMINAL ENDS OF THE TURNS PROJECTING BEYOND THE HARDENED MATERIAL.

Claim 4

THE METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN INDUCTIVE FIXTURE OF ELECTRICAL INDUCTIVE APPARATUS FOR EFFECTING COIL-PLACING OPERATIONS IN INDUCTIVE DEVICES COMPRISING THE STEPS OF WINDING A PLURALITY OF TURNS FROM NON-CIRCULAR CONDUCTOR MATERIAL HAVING MAJOR AND MINOR CONFIGURATIONS; MOUNTING THE WOUND TURNS ON A RIGID BODY HAVING A FIRST SECTION PROJECTING CENTRALLY OF THE TURNS AND A SECOND SECTION DISPOSED BENEATH THE MINOR CROSS-SECTION DIMENSIONS OF THE TURNS FOR SUPPORT THEREOF, WITH THE FIRST SECTION HAVING A PAIR OF CURVED WALL PORTIONS FACING THE MAJOR CROSSSECTION DIMENSION OF THE INNERMOST TURNS; AND ENCASING THE TURNS AND RIGID BODY IN HARDENED MATERIAL FOR RETAINING THE RELATIVE POSITIONS OF THE TURNS AND BODY SECTIONS, WITH TERMINAL ENDS OF THE TURNS PROJECTING BEYOND THE HARDENED MATERIAL.
