Abstract
Abstract The invention concerns a transformer lamination having a center leg, two outer legs and two yokes connecting these legs and having at least one joint between one side of the center leg and the adjacent yoke. The characteristic feature is that the width of the jointlessly connecting yoke is greater than that of the parted yoke. In a preferred embodiment the sum of both yoke widths is roughly 1.35 times the center leg width.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
Core laminations for shell-type cores, comprising said laminations alternately interleaved, each of said core laminations having a center leg, two outer legs parallel thereto at a certain distance, and two yokes connecting the ends of said legs, at least one joint being provided between one side of the center leg and the adjacent yoke for interleaving in the winding, and the other yoke having no joints with the center leg and the two outer legs wherein the width of the jointlessly connecting yoke is at least 5% greater than that of the parted yoke (c 1 >c 2 ).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
Core laminations for shell-type cores, comprising said laminations alternately interleaved, each of said core laminations having a center leg, two outer legs parallel thereto at a certain distance, and two yokes connecting the ends of said legs, at least one joint being provided between one side of the center leg and the adjacent yoke for interleaving in the winding, and the other yoke having no joints with the center leg and the two outer legs wherein the width of the jointlessly connecting yoke is at least 5% greater than that of the parted yoke (c 1 >c 2 ).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 1, wherein each joint is designed as a hair-line gap.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 1, wherein the joints extend asymmetrically to the center axis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 3, with said joints extending asymmetrically to the center axis, wherein the entire joint length is at least 4/3 times as large as the center leg width (f) minus the difference (c 1 -c 2 ) between the two yoke widths.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 3, with said joints extending asymmetrically to the center axis, wherein one joint is a linear projection of one longitudinal center leg edge beyond the yoke and wherein the other joint begins at one window corner and extends obliquely to the center axis beyond the yoke.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 3, with said joints extending asymmetrically to the center axis, wherein the center leg end is parted from the adjacent yoke at a single joint which reaches the outer yoke edge nowhere.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 3, with said joints extending asymmetrically to the center axis, wherein the joint angle relative to the center leg direction is, at one window corner, at least half a right angle larger than the joint angle at the other window corner.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
83 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 3, with said joints extending asymmetrically to the center axis, wherein each of the two joints extends from an inner window corner at a substantially slanting, inward-directed angle to the outer yoke edge without intersecting one another within the yoke, and wherein one joint starts at an inner window corner as a linear projection of the center leg edge whereas the other joint starts at the other inner window corner, being inclined directly toward the center axis.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
45 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 1, with said joints extending symmetrically to the center axis, wherein the entire joint length is approximately twice as large as the center leg width (f) minus the difference (c 1 -c 2 ) between the two yoke widths.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
44 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 1, wherein the width (b) of the outer legs is roughly 1.25 times half the center leg width and the average width (c 1 /2+c 2 /2)of the yokes is roughly 1.35 times half the center leg width.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
38 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 1, wherein the edge length (a) parallel to the center leg is about twice the width (c 1 ) of the jointlessly connecting yoke, plus the shaft length of the coil form.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
36 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 1, wherein the width (c 1 ) of the jointlessly connecting yoke is 5% to 10% larger than the average width (c 1 /2+c 2 /2) of the two yokes.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
45 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 2, with said joints extending symmetrically to the center axis, wherein the entire joint length is approximately twice as large as the center leg width (f) minus the difference (c 1 -c 2 ) between the two yoke widths.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
45 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 2, wherein the width (b) of the outer legs is roughly 1.25 times half the center leg width and the average width (c 1 /2+c 2 /2) of the yokes is roughly 1.35 times half the center leg width.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
45 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 9, wherein the width (b) of the outer legs is roughly 1.25 times half the center leg width and the average width (c 1 /2+c 2 /2) of the yokes is roughly 1.35 times half the center leg width.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
36 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 2, wherein the width (c 1 ) of the jointlessly connecting yoke is 5% to 10% larger than the average width (c 1 /2+c 2 /2) of the two yokes.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
36 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 9, wherein the width (c 1 ) of the jointlessly connecting yoke is 5% to 10% larger than the average width (c 1 /2+c 2 /2) of the two yokes.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
36 words
Core laminations as defined in claim 10, wherein the width (c 1 ) of the jointlessly connecting yoke is 5% to 10% larger than the average width (c 1 /2+c 2 /2) of the two yokes.
