Abstract
Abstract A modified round roll capacitor has a metallized paper electrode capacitor wound as a roll on a thick walled core tube with the roll and core tube being simultaneously flattened, the flattened core tube serving as an integral rigid core structure for the roll. The core is less deformable than the roll to provide continuing resistance in a flattening process and to maintain tension and central integrity to the structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
In an electrical capacitor comprising a pair of spaced strip electrodes and a synthetic resin strip dielectric therebetween to form a laminate which is wound in round roll form, flattened and placed in a casing and impregnated with a dielectric fluid, the improvement comprising (a) the said strip electrodes comprising capacitor tissue paper having both sides metallized with a thin layer of metal; (b) a central core structure in said roll; (c) said central core structure being less compressible than said roll and being a thick walled tube on which said roll was wound and flattened therewith, to provide a solid spacer in said roll essentially without any intervening space in the center of said roll.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
