Abstract
Abstract Two disc shaped permanent magnets are provided within a yoke structure in a manner to face one another. Two pole pieces are disposed on the surfaces of the two magnets respectively. Small spherical metallic members which induce a localized increase in magnetic field strength, are attached to the surfaces of the opposed pole pieces at selected locations in a manner which unifies the magnetic field produced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
In a device for producing a magnetic field, a disc shaped permanent magnet; a circular pole piece attached to said magnet, said circular pole piece having an annular projection which extends above a major surface of the pole piece; and means for correcting non-uniformity in the magnetic field produced by said magnet, said correcting means comprising at least one small diameter metallic spherical member fixed to the major surface of said pole piece.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
In a device for producing a magnetic field, a disc shaped permanent magnet; a circular pole piece attached to said magnet, said circular pole piece having an annular projection which extends above a major surface of the pole piece; and means for correcting non-uniformity in the magnetic field produced by said magnet, said correcting means comprising at least one small diameter metallic spherical member fixed to the major surface of said pole piece.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the diameter of the at least one small diameter metallic spherical member is less than 5 mm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
