Abstract
Abstract A coil device having a core having an intermediate leg and at least a pair of external legs arranged at equal intervals from the intermediate leg; a first printed coil provided on a first substrate which has an intermediate hole and a pair of external holes respectively inserted in the intermediate leg and the pair of external legs of the core, the first printed coil being wound around the intermediate hole; and a second printed coil provided on a second substrate which has an intermediate hole and a pair of external holes respectively inserted in the intermediate leg and the pair of external legs of the core, the second printed coil including a pair of external printed coils which are connected in series and are respectively wound around the pair of the external holes with the same number of turns but in opposite directions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A coil device comprising: a core having an intermediate leg and at least a pair of external legs arranged at equal intervals from the intermediate leg; a first printed coil provided on a first substrate which has an intermediate hole and a pair of external holes respectively inserted in the intermediate leg and the pair of external legs of the core, the first printed coil being wound around the intermediate hole; and a second printed coil provided on a second substrate which has an intermediate hole and a pair of external holes respectively inserted in the intermediate leg and the pair of external legs of the core, the second printed coil including a pair of external printed coils which are connected in series and are respectively wound around the pair of the external holes and each having the same number of turns but wound in opposite directions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A coil device comprising: a core having an intermediate leg and at least a pair of external legs arranged at equal intervals from the intermediate leg; a first printed coil provided on a first substrate which has an intermediate hole and a pair of external holes respectively inserted in the intermediate leg and the pair of external legs of the core, the first printed coil being wound around the intermediate hole; and a second printed coil provided on a second substrate which has an intermediate hole and a pair of external holes respectively inserted in the intermediate leg and the pair of external legs of the core, the second printed coil including a pair of external printed coils which are connected in series and are respectively wound around the pair of the external holes and each having the same number of turns but wound in opposite directions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
98 words
The coil device of claim 1 , wherein the pair of external printed coils of the second printed coil generate magnetic fields in opposite directions to each other in the intermediate leg such that the magnetic fields in the intermediate leg cancel each other and induce no induction voltage in the first printed coil, and induction voltages induced in the external printed coils of the second printed coil by magnetic flux generated by the first printed coil are substantially canceled, whereby the first printed coil and the second printed coil form separate inductors which are not magnetically coupled.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
72 words
The coil device of claim 2 , further comprising a third printed coil provided on a third substrate which has an intermediate hole and a pair of external holes respectively inserted in the intermediate leg and the pair of external legs of the core, the third printed coil being wound around the intermediate hole, whereby the first printed coil is magnetically coupled with the third printed coil to form a first transformer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
103 words
The coil device of claim 2 , further comprising a fourth printed coil provided on a fourth substrate which has an intermediate hole and a pair of external holes respectively inserted in the intermediate leg and the pair of external legs of the core, the fourth printed coil including a pair of external printed coils which are connected in series and are respectively wound around the pair of the external holes and each having the same number of turns but being wound in opposite directions, whereby the second printed coil is magnetically coupled with the fourth printed coil to form a second transformer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
104 words
The coil device of claim 3 , further comprising a fourth printed coil provided on a fourth substrate which has an intermediate hole and a pair of external holes respectively inserted in the intermediate leg and the pair of external legs of the core, the fourth printed coil including a pair of external printed coils which are connected in series and are respectively wound around the pair of the external holes and each having the same number of turns but having wound in the opposite directions, whereby the second printed coil is magnetically coupled with the fourth printed coil to form a second transformer.
