DEFINITION

Classification: 336/172

(under the class definition) Inductor devices wherein the inductor comprises a coil or winding having a turn or series

of full turns which embrace the full transverse section of the core and which includes, in addition, one or more shorter turns which embrace only a portion of the transverse section of the core. The core flux path may be a single solid or laminated core leg with a small piece thereof cut out to permit the "partial turns" to enclose a smaller cross-section of the core flux path than is enclosed by the full turns; or the core flux path may consist of two or more parallel core legs of a single core or of two independently constructed cores with the full turns enclosing the core legs in cross-section, and the "partial turns" enclosing in like manner fewer core legs than those enclosed by the full turns.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

73, for closed or short-circuited turns enclosing less cross-section of a flux path than those enclosed by full turns of the inductor.

133, and 160+, for inductor devices of the adjustable or regulating type having core structures including a separate and distinct shunt magnetic path structure.
