Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
The combination comprising: (a) a primary printed circuit board including a circuit; (b) a secondary printed circuit board including a circuit; (c) a transformer having a bobbin; (d) a plurality of circuit board supporting electrically conductive connector pins mounted in a first surface of said bobbin for electrical connection to said transformer, each located within a preformed hole in the primary printed circuit board and soldered therein so as to mount said transformer bobbin to said primary printed circuit board and to electrically connect said transformer to said circuit on said primary printed circuit board; (e) a plurality of circuit board supporting electrically conductive connector pins mounted in a second surface of said bobbin for electrical connection to said transformer, each of said connector pins located within a preformed hole in said secondary printed circuit board and soldered therein so as to mount the secondary printed circuit board to said primary circuit board and to electrically connect said transformer to said circuit on said secondary printed circuit board; and (f) means for electrically interconnecting at least one pair of said connector pins on said transformer bobbin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
186 words
The combination comprising: (a) a primary printed circuit board including a circuit; (b) a secondary printed circuit board including a circuit; (c) a transformer having a bobbin; (d) a plurality of circuit board supporting electrically conductive connector pins mounted in a first surface of said bobbin for electrical connection to said transformer, each located within a preformed hole in the primary printed circuit board and soldered therein so as to mount said transformer bobbin to said primary printed circuit board and to electrically connect said transformer to said circuit on said primary printed circuit board; (e) a plurality of circuit board supporting electrically conductive connector pins mounted in a second surface of said bobbin for electrical connection to said transformer, each of said connector pins located within a preformed hole in said secondary printed circuit board and soldered therein so as to mount the secondary printed circuit board to said primary circuit board and to electrically connect said transformer to said circuit on said secondary printed circuit board; and (f) means for electrically interconnecting at least one pair of said connector pins on said transformer bobbin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
The combination of claim 1 further including a plurality of circuit board supporting electrically conductive connector pins mounted on a third surface of said bobbin for electrical connection to said transformer, each of said connector pins located within a preformed hole in a tertiary printed circuit board and soldered therein so as to mount said tertiary printed circuit board to said primary printed circuit board and to electrically connect said transformer to a circuit on said tertiary printed circuit board.
