Abstract
Abstract A delay line having an inductive component in which inductive windings are made on multiple post bobbin units to maintain spacing and alignment. Two multiple bobbin units are collectively wound and then secured together with the bobbins interfitting to form a rigid, precisely aligned element, with the wires from each bobbin positioned for ease of connection. The inductive component is mounted on the base of a dual in-line package (DIP), capacitors are secured in the inductive component and the electrical connections are made to connect the inductors and capacitors to the contact pins of the DIP. The assembly is then potted or otherwise enclosed for protection.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
An inductive delay line, including an inductive component comprising a pair of multiple bobbin elements, each having an elongated connecting plate with a plurality of posts of inductive material projecting perpendicularly from one side, the posts on each element being spaced to interfit with the posts of the other element when the two elements are joined with the connecting plates forming a spaced parallel pair of outside walls of the component and with said posts extending in a row therebetween in longitudinally spaced relationship; and a wire coil inductive winding on each of said posts.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
An inductive delay line, including an inductive component comprising a pair of multiple bobbin elements, each having an elongated connecting plate with a plurality of posts of inductive material projecting perpendicularly from one side, the posts on each element being spaced to interfit with the posts of the other element when the two elements are joined with the connecting plates forming a spaced parallel pair of outside walls of the component and with said posts extending in a row therebetween in longitudinally spaced relationship; and a wire coil inductive winding on each of said posts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
An inductive delay line according to claim 1, wherein each of said bobbin elements is an integral structure of inductive material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
An inductive delay line according to claim 1, and including a base on which said inductive component is mounted, said base having a plurality of conductive pins for connection of the windings thereto.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
An inductive delay according to claim 3, and including a plurality of capacitors mounted on said inductive component, said capacitors having a common conductor; said windings being connected in series, and each end of each winding being connected through one of the capacitors to the common conductor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
An inductive delay line according to claim 4, wherein one of said connecting plates defines a platform; said common conductor being an elongated conductive strip on which said capacitors are secured, said conductive strip being attached to said platform.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
70 words
The method of making an inductive delay line, comprising: forming, at least partially from inductive material, a pair of multiple bobbin elements each having an elongated connecting plate with a row of spaced posts projecting from one side; winding wire coils around each of the posts; and joining the bobbin elements with the posts interfitting in a single row and the connecting plates forming outer walls of an inductive component.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
70 words
The method of making an inductive delay line, comprising: forming, at least partially from inductive material, a pair of multiple bobbin elements each having an elongated connecting plate with a row of spaced posts projecting from one side; winding wire coils around each of the posts; and joining the bobbin elements with the posts interfitting in a single row and the connecting plates forming outer walls of an inductive component.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
63 words
The method of claim 6, wherein, with the bobbin elements in side by side relation, the coils on one set of posts are wound in one direction and the coils on the other set of posts are wound in the opposite direction, with the finish ends of the wires of one bobbin element confronting the starting end of the wires of the other.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
38 words
The method of claim 6, wherein the step of joining the bobbin elements includes applying adhesive to certain of the posts on at least one bobbin element to bond to the connecting plate of the other bobbin element.
