Abstract
Abstract A toroidal power transformer having improved insulation between the primary and secondary windings. The insulation includes an insulator sleeve fitted to the primary winding and having the primary winding lead wires positioned therein such that the lead wires extend radially outward from the primary winding. This insulator sleeve is fitted to the primary windings by way of an insulator flange formed as an integral part of the insulator sleeve which insures good insulation between the primary and secondary windings and high creepage distance.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
185 words
A toroidal power transformer having a primary and a secondary winding and comprising: a toroidal shaped core; a primary winding wound about said core, having primary lead wires, and having an annular end surface and a cylindrical side surface forming a shoulder therebetween; sleeve insulator means, having a tube portion and having a flange portion connected to the tube portion with no gaps therebetween and formed continuously about the tube portion such that the flange portion conformingly and continuously covers part of the annular end surface, part of the cylindrical side surface and part of the shoulder in the region around said primary lead wires, for housing said primary lead wires, for positioning said primary lead wires outward from said primary winding and for providing creepage distance between said primary winding and said secondary winding in said region around said primary lead wires; a wrapped insulator, overlappingly wrapped around said primary winding and said flange portion of said sleeve insulator means; and said secondary winding wound about said wrapped insulator and above said flange portion of said sleeve insulator means and having secondary lead wires.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
185 words
A toroidal power transformer having a primary and a secondary winding and comprising: a toroidal shaped core; a primary winding wound about said core, having primary lead wires, and having an annular end surface and a cylindrical side surface forming a shoulder therebetween; sleeve insulator means, having a tube portion and having a flange portion connected to the tube portion with no gaps therebetween and formed continuously about the tube portion such that the flange portion conformingly and continuously covers part of the annular end surface, part of the cylindrical side surface and part of the shoulder in the region around said primary lead wires, for housing said primary lead wires, for positioning said primary lead wires outward from said primary winding and for providing creepage distance between said primary winding and said secondary winding in said region around said primary lead wires; a wrapped insulator, overlappingly wrapped around said primary winding and said flange portion of said sleeve insulator means; and said secondary winding wound about said wrapped insulator and above said flange portion of said sleeve insulator means and having secondary lead wires.
