Abstract
Abstract A method for making an inductance which includes the steps of providing a coil form constructed of insulating material and having at least one opening extending there through for the receipt of a wire terminal, supporting a wire terminal in a cut-off mechanism positioning the so-supported wire terminal in the coil form opening, immobilizing the wire terminal by notching, removing the cut-off wire terminal from the cut-off mechanism winding a wire about the coil form and wrapping one end of the wire around one of the terminals, and dipping the wrapped terminal portion in molten solder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A method for making an inductance comprising providing a coil form constructed of insulating material and having at least one passage extending therethrough for the receipt of a wire terminal, positioning a terminal-providing wire in said passage with portions of the lead extending beyond the ends of said passage on both sides of the passage, said wire being continuous and of indefinite length, supporting said wire a spaced distance from one of said passage ends, notching the supported wire in portions adjacent said form to immobilize said wire relative to said form, severing the supported wire to provide said terminal prior to removal of the support; removing the support from said wire wherebya terminal-equipped coil form is provided; and winding another wire onto said coil form to provide an inductance.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
130 words
A method for making an inductance comprising providing a coil form constructed of insulating material and having at least one passage extending therethrough for the receipt of a wire terminal, positioning a terminal-providing wire in said passage with portions of the lead extending beyond the ends of said passage on both sides of the passage, said wire being continuous and of indefinite length, supporting said wire a spaced distance from one of said passage ends, notching the supported wire in portions adjacent said form to immobilize said wire relative to said form, severing the supported wire to provide said terminal prior to removal of the support; removing the support from said wire wherebya terminal-equipped coil form is provided; and winding another wire onto said coil form to provide an inductance.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 1 in which said form is molded, thermosetting plastic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 2 in which said form has a central cylindrical part and an end flange, said passage being in said flange.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
The method of claim 1 in which said support includes a cutoff mechanism having a pair of plates slidably related relative to each other and having aligned openings therein, said wire being positioned within said openings and severed by relative movement of said plates.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 4 in which said notching is performed prior to said severance.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 4 in which said notching is performed subsequent to said severance.
