Abstract

Abstract A solenoid assembly includes a coil bobbin having a pair of hooks extending in the longitudinal direction of the bobbin from a flange formed on one end of the bobbin and projecting radially outwardly from the axis of the bobbin at the ends thereof. A magnetic yoke having openings for receiving the hooks and a grommet having a base portion in contact with the magnetic yoke are seucred together by the hooks. The grommet has a neck portion extending in the axial direction of a magnetic core and a central opening for a lead wire to a coil on the bobbin. The magnetic yoke is fixed to one end of the magnetic core which is located in a central opening formed in the coil bobbin. A plastic casing is then molded about the entire assembly.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 191 words
A solenoid assembly comprising: a magnetic core; a coil bobbin having a longitudinal axis and hook means thereon extending in the longitudinal direction of the bobbin axis from a flange formed on one end thereof with an end portion of said hook means projecting radially outwardly from said axis; said bobbin having a central bore with at least a portion of said core disposed therein and a coil wound around said bobbin; a magnetic yoke connected to said core and partially surrounding said coil and having opening means through which said hook means extend; a magnetic plunger movably disposed in said bore adjacent said core; a grommet having a base portion disposed in contact with said yoke and engaged by said hook means and a neck portion extending along the axis of said bobbin away from said base portion and having an opening for a lead wire in said neck portion; a lead wire extending through said opening of said neck portion and connected to one end of said coil; and a casing made of plastic molded in situ and covering said grommet and an exterior portion of said yoke continuously.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 191 words
A solenoid assembly comprising: a magnetic core; a coil bobbin having a longitudinal axis and hook means thereon extending in the longitudinal direction of the bobbin axis from a flange formed on one end thereof with an end portion of said hook means projecting radially outwardly from said axis; said bobbin having a central bore with at least a portion of said core disposed therein and a coil wound around said bobbin; a magnetic yoke connected to said core and partially surrounding said coil and having opening means through which said hook means extend; a magnetic plunger movably disposed in said bore adjacent said core; a grommet having a base portion disposed in contact with said yoke and engaged by said hook means and a neck portion extending along the axis of said bobbin away from said base portion and having an opening for a lead wire in said neck portion; a lead wire extending through said opening of said neck portion and connected to one end of said coil; and a casing made of plastic molded in situ and covering said grommet and an exterior portion of said yoke continuously.
