Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing a core for an electrical inductive device. A blind hole is provided through a stack of laminations into which an oil or an epoxy resin adhesive is placed. The blind hole provides a slow release for the oil to the outer surfaces. This obviates the contamination of the outer surfaces of the coil during manufacture as in the case with a dipping procedure. When the epoxy resin adhesive is employed in the blind hole, a wicking action takes place for better fastening of the laminations together. In another embodiment of the fastening feature, epoxy resin adhesive is molded to the outside of the end piece laminations as well as through a passage in the laminations. An improved resulting core is also provided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
A core for an electric inductive device comprising: a stack of a plurality of laminations having top and bottom laminations with said laminations being connected together; a first opening in each of said laminations, said first openings aligned to form a first passageway through said stack, and a second opening in each of said laminations, said second openings aligned to form a second passageway through said stack; a first end layer connected to said top lamination and a second end layer connected to said bottom lamination, said end layers being substantially identical and each having an offset opening; said offset opening of said first end layer being in communication with said first passageway and said offset opening of said second end layer being in communication with said second passageway, said first end layer blocking said second passageway, and said second end layer blocking said first passageway; said passageways and said end layers forming two blind holes; said blind holes being filled with a viscous liquid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
