Abstract
Abstract In a transformer for use in a receiver set, a non-magnetic material arranged in part of a closed magnetic path established by a magnetic core is made of a plastic material such as paper mash or silicon putty. The non-magnetic material is pressurized and deformed so as to set the inductance of a coil mounted on the magnetic core to a predetermined value.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A transformer comprising: a magnetic core including two U-shaped magnetic members with their legs faced with each other to establish a closed magnetic path; a non-magnetic material arranged at least at one joint between facing legs of the magnetic members constituting the magnetic core and being a compound of paper fibers and plaster powders so as to be deformable by a force imparted on the magnetic members; a plurality of coils mounted on said magnetic core and being adjustable in inductance by the deformation of said non-magnetic material; and means for clamping said magnetic core with said deformed non-magnetic material in said joint to provide desired inductances of the coils with a clamping force which is not so large as to further deform said non-magnetic material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A transformer comprising: a magnetic core including two U-shaped magnetic members with their legs faced with each other to establish a closed magnetic path; a non-magnetic material arranged at least at one joint between facing legs of the magnetic members constituting the magnetic core and being a compound of paper fibers and plaster powders so as to be deformable by a force imparted on the magnetic members; a plurality of coils mounted on said magnetic core and being adjustable in inductance by the deformation of said non-magnetic material; and means for clamping said magnetic core with said deformed non-magnetic material in said joint to provide desired inductances of the coils with a clamping force which is not so large as to further deform said non-magnetic material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
158 words
A transformer comprising: a magnetic core including two U-shaped magnetic members with their legs facing each other in axial alignment to establish a closed magnetic path; a spacer of non-magnetic material arranged at least at one joint between the magnetic members, said non-magnetic material being formed of paper fibers and plaster powder which are kneaded together with water, and said spacer being deformed by pressure and vibration of the magnetic members with respect to each other in a back and forth rubbing action at the joint, so that said pressure and vibration are imparted to said non-magnetic material by means of the magnetic members; a plurality of coils mounted on said magnetic core and being varied in inductance with the deformation of said non-magnetic material; and means for clamping said magnetic core to produce pressure on said deformed non-magnetic material in said joint in the axial direction of said keys, thereby providing said coils with the desired inductances.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
158 words
A transformer comprising: a magnetic core including two U-shaped magnetic members with their legs facing each other in axial alignment to establish a closed magnetic path; a spacer of non-magnetic material arranged at least at one joint between the magnetic members, said non-magnetic material being formed of paper fibers and plaster powder which are kneaded together with water, and said spacer being deformed by pressure and vibration of the magnetic members with respect to each other in a back and forth rubbing action at the joint, so that said pressure and vibration are imparted to said non-magnetic material by means of the magnetic members; a plurality of coils mounted on said magnetic core and being varied in inductance with the deformation of said non-magnetic material; and means for clamping said magnetic core to produce pressure on said deformed non-magnetic material in said joint in the axial direction of said keys, thereby providing said coils with the desired inductances.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
111 words
A method of making a transformer having a magnetic core with at least one joint filled with a non-magnetic material, comprising the steps of placing two U-shaped magnetic members with their legs facing each other in axial alignment to establish a closed magnetic path; disposing a spacer of non-magnetic material in at least one joint between the magnetic members, said non-magnetic material being formed of paper fibers and plaster powder which are kneaded together with water; and applying pressure to said spacer along the legs of said magnetic members while vibrating said magnetic members with a back and forth rubbing action at least at said one joint to deform said spacer.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
111 words
A method of making a transformer having a magnetic core with at least one joint filled with a non-magnetic material, comprising the steps of placing two U-shaped magnetic members with their legs facing each other in axial alignment to establish a closed magnetic path; disposing a spacer of non-magnetic material in at least one joint between the magnetic members, said non-magnetic material being formed of paper fibers and plaster powder which are kneaded together with water; and applying pressure to said spacer along the legs of said magnetic members while vibrating said magnetic members with a back and forth rubbing action at least at said one joint to deform said spacer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
75 words
A method as claimed in claim 3, including the further steps of mounting at least one coil on said magnetic core; measuring the inductance of said coil while said spacer is being deformed; ceasing the vibration of said magnetic members when the inductance of said coil reaches a desired value; and clamping said magnetic core to provide a clamping force on said spacer which is not so large as to further deform said non-magnetic material.
