Abstract
Abstract A bi level electrical inductance coil wherein flat, thin conductors are formed and supported on both sides of a flexible dielectric substrate such that the center line of the conductors on one side overlays the space between the conductors on the other side and such that both ends of each conductor are formed so as to be interdigitated; the ends on one side of the substrate interdigitated with the ends on the other side of the substrate; the substrate and conductors bent so that the conductor ends contact adjacent conductor ends to form continuous turns thus forming a relatively thin flat coil with overlapping conductors to provide a uniform magnetic field particularly useful in bubble memories.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
An inductance coil comprising: a plurality of relatively flat, thin, spaced-apart conductors rectangular in cross-section disposed in parallel relationship on both sides of a flexible dielectric substrate, said conductors on one side of said substrate overlying the space between the conductors on the other side of the said substrate, the ends of said conductors being narrower than the center of said conductors to form tabs, said tabs being interdigitized at each end of said flexible substrate, said flexible substrate being bent to connect said interdigitized tabs and form one continuous coil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
An inductance coil comprising: a plurality of relatively flat, thin, spaced-apart conductors rectangular in cross-section disposed in parallel relationship on both sides of a flexible dielectric substrate, said conductors on one side of said substrate overlying the space between the conductors on the other side of the said substrate, the ends of said conductors being narrower than the center of said conductors to form tabs, said tabs being interdigitized at each end of said flexible substrate, said flexible substrate being bent to connect said interdigitized tabs and form one continuous coil.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The inductance coil as claimed in claim 1 wherein said bent substrate forms a pair of end walls and a pair of side walls, with one of said side walls also being formed by said tabs in overlapping and connected relationship with one another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The inductance coil as claimed in claim 1 wherein said bent substrate forms a pair of end walls and a pair of side walls and wherein said tabs are disposed parallel to one of said side walls.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The inductance coil as claimed in claim 1 wherein said bent substrate forms a pair of end walls and a pair of side walls, with said connected interdigitized tabs extending therefrom.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The inductance coil as claimed in claim 1 wherein said tabs are flow soldered to each other to form one continuous coil.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
The inductance coil as claimed in claim 1 wherein said tabs are welded to each other to form a continuous coil.
