Abstract
Abstract A transformer (10) for mounting on a printed wire board includes a bobbin (14) held between two ferrite core slabs (12). The bobbin is wound with a primary winding (28) having a secondary winding (32) wound over it. The wire leads (30) of the primary winding lie in slots (26) in one of the flanges (20) of the bobbin which extend to terminals (24) of a terminal base (22) integral with the flange to isolate them from the secondary windings and leads (34).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
In combination, an electrically insulating bobbin and at least one winding supported on the bobbin comprising: a hub about which turns of the winding are wound; a pair of spaced opposed flanges between which the hub extends, the flanges having facing surfaces and one of the flanges having a pair of slots in its facing surface for respectively accommodating lead wires of the winding, the slots extending from the vicinity of the hub to an outer edge of the one flange, and the one flange having a ledge projecting over each slot for insulating the lead wires positioned within the slots from turns wound about the hub, and the one flange further having a plurality of ribs protruding from the facing surface of the one flange into the space between the opposed flanges otherwise occupied by turns wound about the hub, the ribs being respectively positioned adjacent to the pair of slots and serving to prevent turns wound about the hub from moving into the slots.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

In combination, an electrically insulating bobbin and at least one winding supported on the bobbin comprising: a hub about which turns of the winding are wound; a pair of spaced opposed flanges between which the hub extends, the flanges having facing surfaces and one of the flanges having a pair of slots in its facing surface for respectively accommodating lead wires of the winding, the slots extending from the vicinity of the hub to an outer edge of the one flange, and the one flange having a ledge projecting over each slot for insulating the lead wires positioned within the slots from turns wound about the hub, and the one flange further having a plurality of ribs protruding from the facing surface of the one flange into the space between the opposed flanges otherwise occupied by turns wound about the hub, the ribs being respectively positioned adjacent to the pair of slots and serving to prevent turns wound about the hub from moving into the slots.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
160 words
An electrically insulating bobbin comprising: a hub adapted to have turns of an electrical winding wound thereabout; a pair of spaced opposed flanges between which the hub extends, the flanges having facing surfaces and one of the flanges having a pair of slots in its facing surface for respectively accommodating lead wires of a winding wound about the hub, the slots extending from the vicinity of the hub to an outer edge of the one flange, and the one flange having a ledge projecting over each slot for insulating lead wires positioned within the slots from turns wound about the hub, and the one flange further having a plurality of ribs protruding from the facing surfaces of the one flange into the space between the opposed flanges otherwise occupied by turns wound about the hub, the ribs being respectively positioned adjacent to the pair of slots and serving to prevent turns wound about the hub from moving into the slots.
