Abstract

Abstract A lamination type inductor has a plurality of ferrite sheets assembled one above the other and laminated together, the uppermost and lowermost sheets being end sheets having lead-out conductor patterns thereon and conductor patterns on the surfaces of the end sheets which face each other which are connected to the lead-out conductor patterns and which are for connection to conductor patterns on intermediate sheets, and a plurality of intermediate ferrite sheets, each having a conductor pattern on one surface thereof which corresponds to a 0.25 turn of an inductor coil and a conductor pattern on the other surface which corresponds to a 0.5 turn of an inductor coil, each ferrite sheet having an opening therethrough through which the conductor patterns of the 0.25 and 0.5 turn are electrically connected to form a 0.75 turn of an inductor coil on each ferrite sheet. The conductor patterns on the successive intermediate sheets are connected to each other for forming an inductor coil having a number of turns which is a multiple of 0.75, and the conductor patterns on the upper surface of the uppermost of the plurality of intermediate ferrite sheets and the lower surface of the lowermost of the intermediate ferrite sheets are electrically connected to the conductor patterns on the surfaces of the end sheets which face each other for forming with the lastmentioned conductor pattern a complete inductor coil.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 294 words
A lamination type inductor comprising: a plurality of ferrite sheets assembled one above the other and laminated together, the uppermost and lowermost sheets being end sheets having lead-out conductor patterns thereon and conductor patterns on the surfaces of said end sheets which face each other which are connected to said lead-out conductor patterns and which are for connection to conductor patterns on intermediate sheets, and a plurality of intermediate rectilinear ferrite sheets, each having a conductor pattern on one surface thereof which corresponds to a 0.25 turn of an inductor coil and extending from about the middle of a first side edge of the ferrite sheet to about the middle of an adjacent side edge and a conductor pattern on the other surface which corresponds to a 0.5 turn of an inductor coil and extending from about the middle of said adjacent side edge to about the middle of the edge opposite said adjacent side edge, each said ferrite sheet having an opening therethrough of about the middle of said adjacent side edge through which the conductor patterns of the 0.25 and 0.5 turn are electrically connected to form a 0.75 turn of an inductor coil on each ferrite sheet, the ends of the conductor patterns on the successive intermediate sheets being connected to each other for forming an inductor coil having a number of turns which is a multiple of 0.75, and the ends of the conductor patterns on the upper surface of the uppermost of said plurality of intermediate ferrite sheets and the lower surface of the lowermost of said intermediate ferrite sheets being electrically connected to the conductor patterns on said surfaces of said end sheets which face each other for forming with said lastmentioned conductor pattern a complete inductor coil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 294 words
A lamination type inductor comprising: a plurality of ferrite sheets assembled one above the other and laminated together, the uppermost and lowermost sheets being end sheets having lead-out conductor patterns thereon and conductor patterns on the surfaces of said end sheets which face each other which are connected to said lead-out conductor patterns and which are for connection to conductor patterns on intermediate sheets, and a plurality of intermediate rectilinear ferrite sheets, each having a conductor pattern on one surface thereof which corresponds to a 0.25 turn of an inductor coil and extending from about the middle of a first side edge of the ferrite sheet to about the middle of an adjacent side edge and a conductor pattern on the other surface which corresponds to a 0.5 turn of an inductor coil and extending from about the middle of said adjacent side edge to about the middle of the edge opposite said adjacent side edge, each said ferrite sheet having an opening therethrough of about the middle of said adjacent side edge through which the conductor patterns of the 0.25 and 0.5 turn are electrically connected to form a 0.75 turn of an inductor coil on each ferrite sheet, the ends of the conductor patterns on the successive intermediate sheets being connected to each other for forming an inductor coil having a number of turns which is a multiple of 0.75, and the ends of the conductor patterns on the upper surface of the uppermost of said plurality of intermediate ferrite sheets and the lower surface of the lowermost of said intermediate ferrite sheets being electrically connected to the conductor patterns on said surfaces of said end sheets which face each other for forming with said lastmentioned conductor pattern a complete inductor coil.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 161 words
A lamination type inductor as claimed in claim 1 in which said intermediate ferrite sheets are rectangular, and on a first intermediate ferrite sheet and any subsequent alternate ferrite sheets the conductor pattern corresponding to 0.25 turn extends from about the middle of a long side edge to about the middle of an adjacent short side edge and the conductor pattern on the opposite side of the ferrite sheet extends from about the middle of said short side edge to about the middle of the opposite short side edge, and on a second intermediate ferrite sheet and any subsequent alternate ferrite sheets the conductor pattern corresponding to 0.25 turn extends from about the middle of a short side edge to about the middle of an adjacent long side edge and the conductor pattern on the opposite side of the ferrite sheet extends from about the middle of said long side edge to about the middle of the opposite long side edge.
