Abstract
Abstract A cylindrical core with toroidal windings at angularly spaced locations on the core, for example, as in the stator of a brushless, slotless DC motor for a record player or tape recorder, is formed of a plurality of annular core elements each having an axial slot and initially being axially superposed with the respective slots in axial alignment. The windings are conveniently formed individually on respective bobbins which are dimensioned to pass through the axially aligned slots for installation on the superposed core elements, whereupon, the latter are preferably turned relative to each other for angularly offsetting the respective slots and thereby minimizing the turbulence of magnetic flux that can result therefrom.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
203 words
An electrical device having a cylindrical magnetic core of magnetic material, said core being provided with an axial slot extending radially therethrough to provide said core with a corresponding slot extending along the entire axial length of the core for receiving pre-wound toroidal coils through said slot; a plurality of pre-wound toroidal coils being dimensioned to pass through said slot of said core and defining a passage through which said core passes, said pre-wound cores extending about said core at angularly spaced locations thereon; and in which said core includes a plurality of annular core elements axially superposed on each other to form said core and each having an axial slot so that, with said core elements arranged axially to align their respective slots, the latter define said corresponding slot of the core along the entire axial length of the core through which said pre-wound toroidal coils can pass for installation on said core; said core elements being rotatable with respect to each other so as to be arranged their respective slots circumferentially displaced from each other with said pre-wound toroidal coils extending about said elements for reducing the magnetic flux turbulence that may occur as a result of said axially aligned slots.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
203 words
An electrical device having a cylindrical magnetic core of magnetic material, said core being provided with an axial slot extending radially therethrough to provide said core with a corresponding slot extending along the entire axial length of the core for receiving pre-wound toroidal coils through said slot; a plurality of pre-wound toroidal coils being dimensioned to pass through said slot of said core and defining a passage through which said core passes, said pre-wound cores extending about said core at angularly spaced locations thereon; and in which said core includes a plurality of annular core elements axially superposed on each other to form said core and each having an axial slot so that, with said core elements arranged axially to align their respective slots, the latter define said corresponding slot of the core along the entire axial length of the core through which said pre-wound toroidal coils can pass for installation on said core; said core elements being rotatable with respect to each other so as to be arranged their respective slots circumferentially displaced from each other with said pre-wound toroidal coils extending about said elements for reducing the magnetic flux turbulence that may occur as a result of said axially aligned slots.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
An electrical device according to claim 1; further comprising magnetic material similar to that of each said core element for filling said slots of the latter after said core elements are arranged with their respective slots circumferentially spaced apart from each other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
137 words
An electric motor comprising a rotor, a cylindrical stator core of magnetic material arranged concentrically with said rotor, and a plurality of pre-wound toroidal coils installed on the core at angularly spaced intervals; said stator core including a plurality of axially superposed annular core elements, each having an axial slot extending radially therethrough so that said slots of said core elements can be initially axially aligned with each other to define an axial slot extending radially through said stator core for receiving said pre-wound toroidal coils through said slot for disposition at angularly spaced intervals on said core; said core elements bring rotatable relative to each other so as to be arranged with their respective slots circumferentially displaced from each other, thereby reducing the magnetic flux turbulence that may occur as a result of said axial slot.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
137 words
An electric motor comprising a rotor, a cylindrical stator core of magnetic material arranged concentrically with said rotor, and a plurality of pre-wound toroidal coils installed on the core at angularly spaced intervals; said stator core including a plurality of axially superposed annular core elements, each having an axial slot extending radially therethrough so that said slots of said core elements can be initially axially aligned with each other to define an axial slot extending radially through said stator core for receiving said pre-wound toroidal coils through said slot for disposition at angularly spaced intervals on said core; said core elements bring rotatable relative to each other so as to be arranged with their respective slots circumferentially displaced from each other, thereby reducing the magnetic flux turbulence that may occur as a result of said axial slot.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
An electrical motor according to claim 3; further comprising magnetic material similar to that of each said core element, for filling said slots of the latter after said core elements are arranged with their respective slots circumferentially spaced apart from each other.
