Abstract
Abstract A coil form for a transformer having air-cooled electric windings. Plug-in frames which can be adjusted in width and/or height are provided at the ends of the device. Profiled bars and additional supporting members, both of which can be of any desired length, are mounted between the frames at each corner thereof and are laterally spaced so as to space the coil windings wrapped therearound.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A coil form for a transformer having air-cooled electric windings, said coil form comprising: a first set of profiled bars having a selectively variable length and substantially constant cross-section for simultaneously supporting an iron core and at least a first, inner coil winding; a second set of profiled bars having a selectively variable length and a substantially constant cross-section for supporting a second coil winding spaced from the first winding; means for removably holding said first and second sets of supporting bars in a spaced, substantially parallel relationship whereby an air gap is formed between the first and second coil windings, said holding means delimiting said first and second supporting means at their faces, said holding means comprising a pair of spaced, framelike members and means for removably holding said first and second sets of bars therebetween; and means for selectively varying the vertical and lateral dimensions of said pair of spaced framelike members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A coil form for a transformer having air-cooled electric windings, said coil form comprising: a first set of profiled bars having a selectively variable length and substantially constant cross-section for simultaneously supporting an iron core and at least a first, inner coil winding; a second set of profiled bars having a selectively variable length and a substantially constant cross-section for supporting a second coil winding spaced from the first winding; means for removably holding said first and second sets of supporting bars in a spaced, substantially parallel relationship whereby an air gap is formed between the first and second coil windings, said holding means delimiting said first and second supporting means at their faces, said holding means comprising a pair of spaced, framelike members and means for removably holding said first and second sets of bars therebetween; and means for selectively varying the vertical and lateral dimensions of said pair of spaced framelike members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A coil form according to claim 1 wherein each of said first set of profiled bars has a convexly curved outer surface and an inner surface provided with sides that form a substantially right angle, said inner surface conforming to the shape of a rectangular iron core.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A coil form as recited in claim 1 wherein each of said second set of bars has a generally rectangular cross-section, two faces of which are provided with a continuous, channel shaped clearance.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A coil form according to claim 1 wherein each frame-like member comprises at least three sides, the ends of two adjacent sides passing over to form an outwardly extending flange.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
75 words
A coil form according to claim 4, wherein each frame-liike member comprises: a plurality of elbow pieces having at least two leg portions, the proximal ends of which pass over to form an outwardly directed flange; side members of any desired length for detachably joining adjacent elbow pieces to each other; and means for interlocking said side members to said elbow pieces, whereby a plug-in type frame is formed having sides of a desired length.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
50 words
A coil form according to claim 5 wherein one of said leg portions of said elbow piece is provided with a pin-shaped distal end and the other of said leg portions is provided with a complementary pin-accepting distal end whereby adjacent elbow pieces are interlocked to form said frame-like member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
64 words
A coil form according to claim 5 wherein each leg portion of said elbow piece is provided with a rim slot at its distal end; and each side member comprises a strip of a desired length for insertion into the slots of adjacent leg portions; whereby adjacent elbow pieces are joined to form said frame-like member by attaching said strips between adjacent elbow pieces.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
48 words
A core form as recited in claim 5 wherein each leg portion of each elbow piece is provided with a pin-accepting notched distal end; and each side member comprises at least one junction strip having pin-shaped ends for interlocking with said pin-accepting distal ends of said leg portion.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
68 words
A coil form according to claim 8 wherein each side member comprises at least one extension strip, one side of which has a pin-accepting notch and the other side of which has a complementary pin-shaped end whereby the pin-shape end is inserted into the notched end of an associated leg portion and the notched end of said extension strip interlocks with the pin-shaped end of said junction strip.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
26 words
A coil form according to claim 4 wherein said outwardly directed flange has a substantially U-shaped cross-section for accommodating the ends of said second supporting means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
23 words
A coil form according to claim 4 wherein each flange is provided with a slot extending along the longitudinal axis of said flange.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
30 words
A coil form as recited in claim 4 wherein each side of said frame-like member is provided with a U-shaped notch facing toward the opposite side of said frame-like member.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
30 words
A coil form as recited in claim 4 wherein each side of said frame-like member is provided with a U-shaped notch which faces towards the interior of said coil form.
