Abstract

Abstract An electromagnetic induction apparatus having an even number of coaxially disposed flat coils each having a main winding conductor and tap winding conductors wound in parallel along at least a portion of the main winding conductor to form together a flat coil. The main winding conductors are connected together by connecting the inner end of the main winding conductor of each odd-numbered one of the even number of flat coils to the inner end of the main winding conductor of the adjacent even-numbered flat coil, and connecting the outer end of the main winding conductor of the even-numbered flat coil to the outer end of the main winding conductor of the succeeding odd-numbered flat coil. The tap winding conductors are connected together by connecting the inner end of each of the tap winding conductors of each odd-numbered one of the even number of flat coils to the inner end of the corresponding tap winding conductor of the adjacent even-numbered flat coil, and connecting the outer end of each of the tap winding conductors of the even-numbered flat coil to the outer end of the corresponding tap winding conductor of the succeeding even-numbered flat coil. Upright lead portions are formed on each of the outer ends of both the main winding conductors and the tap winding conductors of flat coils which are located at opposite ends of the even number of flat coils.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 255 words
An electromagnetic induction apparatus comprising: an even number of flat coils each having a main winding conductor and tap winding conductors which are the same in number as taps and which are wound in parallel along at least a portion of said main winding conductor to form, together with said main winding conductor, a flat coil, said flat coils being wound substantially coaxially; means for connecting said main winding conductors together by connecting the inner end of said main winding conductor of each odd-numbered one of said even number of flat coils to the inner end of said main winding conductor of the adjacent even-numbered flat coil, and connecting the outer end of said main winding conductor of said even-numbered flat coil to the outer end of said main winding conductor of the succeeding odd-numbered flat coil; means for connecting said tap winding conductors together by connecting the inner end of each of said tap winding conductors of each odd-numbered one of said even number of flat coils to the inner end of the corresponding tap winding conductor of the adjacent even-numbered flat coil, and connecting the outer end of each of said tap winding conductors of said even-numbered flat coil to the outer end of the corresponding tap winding conductor of the succeeding even-numbered flat coil; and upright lead portions formed on each of the outer ends of both the main winding conductors and the tap winding conductors of flat coils which are located at opposite ends of said even number of flat coils.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 255 words
An electromagnetic induction apparatus comprising: an even number of flat coils each having a main winding conductor and tap winding conductors which are the same in number as taps and which are wound in parallel along at least a portion of said main winding conductor to form, together with said main winding conductor, a flat coil, said flat coils being wound substantially coaxially; means for connecting said main winding conductors together by connecting the inner end of said main winding conductor of each odd-numbered one of said even number of flat coils to the inner end of said main winding conductor of the adjacent even-numbered flat coil, and connecting the outer end of said main winding conductor of said even-numbered flat coil to the outer end of said main winding conductor of the succeeding odd-numbered flat coil; means for connecting said tap winding conductors together by connecting the inner end of each of said tap winding conductors of each odd-numbered one of said even number of flat coils to the inner end of the corresponding tap winding conductor of the adjacent even-numbered flat coil, and connecting the outer end of each of said tap winding conductors of said even-numbered flat coil to the outer end of the corresponding tap winding conductor of the succeeding even-numbered flat coil; and upright lead portions formed on each of the outer ends of both the main winding conductors and the tap winding conductors of flat coils which are located at opposite ends of said even number of flat coils.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 34 words
An electromagnetic induction apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said means for connecting said tap winding conductors includes a transposition point which functions to cancel the circulating currents generated in said tap winding conductors.
