(under the class definition) Inductor devices comprising a coil having convolutions or turns formed of plural strand or multiple type conductors, which strands or conductors are electrically connected in parallel.
(1) Note. The subject matter of this subclass is distinguished from that of subclass 180 of this class in that, of the parallel connected plural coils which may be found therein, each coil is a separate entity, as established in the definition of coil immediately under the class definition, whereas in this subclass (186) each of the plural conductors is not constructed to function as a separate inductor coil, but all the parallel connected conductors together are constructed and arranged to function as a single coil.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
138, for inductors with parallel spaced conductors or coils bridged by a movable connector.
147, for inductors having plural coils or windings connected in parallel or series and parallel.
180, and see (1) Note, above.
SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 174, Electricity: Conductors and Insulators, particularly
24+, and 68.1+ for plural conductor cables or conductors, especially subclasses 113+ indented under subclass 68.1 for multiple conductors wherein the individual conductors are insulated from each other, and subclasses 128+ indented under subclass 68 for plural strand conductors wherein the individual strands are uninsulated.
