Abstract
Abstract Loading coil assembly for a multi-conductor assembly comprises a plurality of spaced-apart trays positioned on the cable and coil housings mounted between the trays. Each coil housing contains a plurality of loading coils. The conductors from the cable extend between the trays and to a connecting means on the housing which connects the cable conductors to the leads from the coils.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
222 words
In combination with a short section of a multi-conductor cable comprising a plurality of pairs of associated conductors, a loading coil assembly for connecting a coil to each of said pairs, said loading coil assembly comprising: a plurality of supporting trays, each of said trays comprising a plate-like member having a central opening, said trays being mounted in spaced-apart relationship on said short section of cable with said cable extending through said central openings, a plurality of coil housings, each of said housings having a plurality of coil receiving cells, said cells being arranged in a single row, each of said cells having a coil containaed therein, each of said housings being mounted between adjacent trays with said rows extending parallel to the axis of said cable, each of said housings having opposite ends, said ends of each housing being supported by the opposed faces of adjacent trays, each of said housings having laterally opposite facing sides extending between said ends, electrical connecting means mounted on said sides for each coil, said cable conductors extending laterally from said cable and being connected to said connecting means, and the lead wires from said coils extending from said coils and being connected to said connecting means whereby each of said conductors in said short section of cable in connected to one of said coils.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
222 words
In combination with a short section of a multi-conductor cable comprising a plurality of pairs of associated conductors, a loading coil assembly for connecting a coil to each of said pairs, said loading coil assembly comprising: a plurality of supporting trays, each of said trays comprising a plate-like member having a central opening, said trays being mounted in spaced-apart relationship on said short section of cable with said cable extending through said central openings, a plurality of coil housings, each of said housings having a plurality of coil receiving cells, said cells being arranged in a single row, each of said cells having a coil containaed therein, each of said housings being mounted between adjacent trays with said rows extending parallel to the axis of said cable, each of said housings having opposite ends, said ends of each housing being supported by the opposed faces of adjacent trays, each of said housings having laterally opposite facing sides extending between said ends, electrical connecting means mounted on said sides for each coil, said cable conductors extending laterally from said cable and being connected to said connecting means, and the lead wires from said coils extending from said coils and being connected to said connecting means whereby each of said conductors in said short section of cable in connected to one of said coils.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The combination set forth in claim 1, each of said cells having an open side which faces radially with respect to the axis of said cable and towards said cable.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
73 words
The combination set forth in claim 2, each of said connecting means comprising a sheet metal connecting device having a central mounting section and having a first end disposed proximate to said cable and having a second end which is disposed proximate to said open side of its associated cell, one of said cable conductors being connected to said second end and one of said coil leads being connected to said first end.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The combination set forth in claim 3, each of said connecting devices having on said second end thereof a plate-like means having a conductor-receiving slot therein, said cable conductor being disposed in said slot.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
189 words
A loading coil assembly which is adapted to be installed on a multi-conductor cable, said coil assembly comprising: a short section of multi-conductor cable having a number of conductors therein which is twice the number of conductors in said cable, a plurality of trays mounted on said short section of cable, each of said trays having a central opening, said trays being in parallel spaced-apart relationship on said short section with said short section extending through said openings, a plurality of coil housings, each of said housings having a plurality of coil-receiving cells, said cells being arranged in a single row, each of said cells having a coil therein, said housings being contained between adjacent trays with said rows extending parallel to the axis of said short section of cable, and said conductors in said short section of cable extending radially outwardly from said cable and being connected to said coils whereby, upon cutting said through cable and connecting the cut ends of the conductors in said through cable to the conductors in said short section of cable, said coils are connected to said conductors in said through cable.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
189 words
A loading coil assembly which is adapted to be installed on a multi-conductor cable, said coil assembly comprising: a short section of multi-conductor cable having a number of conductors therein which is twice the number of conductors in said cable, a plurality of trays mounted on said short section of cable, each of said trays having a central opening, said trays being in parallel spaced-apart relationship on said short section with said short section extending through said openings, a plurality of coil housings, each of said housings having a plurality of coil-receiving cells, said cells being arranged in a single row, each of said cells having a coil therein, said housings being contained between adjacent trays with said rows extending parallel to the axis of said short section of cable, and said conductors in said short section of cable extending radially outwardly from said cable and being connected to said coils whereby, upon cutting said through cable and connecting the cut ends of the conductors in said through cable to the conductors in said short section of cable, said coils are connected to said conductors in said through cable.
