SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION
This is the generic class for the structure of inductor devices
of the passive type.
SECTION II - LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS
A. INDUCTOR DEVICES HAVING CAPACITANCE OR RESISTANCE:
1. With Capacitance:
As pointed out above, this class provides for inductor devices
wherein the inherent capacitive reactance of the inductor does not
resonate with the inductance of the inductor within the frequency
range of the electric current adapted to flow therethrough.
Where the inductance of the inductor resonates with its inherent capacitive
reactance, the device is excluded from this class and will
be found in Class 333, Wave Transmission Lines and Networks, subclasses
24+, as a coupling network, (e.g., filter, delay
networks, equalizers, coupling transformers), or
in Class 334, Tuners, appropriate subclasses as
a tuner.
2. With Resistance:
This class provides for all inductor devices having appreciable
inductive reactance regardless of the value of the inherent resistance
of the device within the frequency range of the electric current
adapted to flow therethrough. This class does not provide
for resistors which may have an incidental or undesired inherent inductive
reactance and which are designed to be used only as resistive impedances.
For such excluded resistors, see Class 338, Electrical
Resistors, especially subclasses 61+ for resistors
with inductance reducing means.
3. Inductor Devices in Combination with Separate Capacitors
or Resistors:
This class does not provide for the combination of inductor
devices and separate capacitors and/or resistors irrespective
of whether such combined devices are in mere structural arrangement
or in circuit arrangement with each other. For the excluded
subject matter, see Class 361, Electricity: Electrical
Systems and Devices, subclasses 268+, especially
subclass 270 for the combination of a transformer and capacitor, subclasses
331+ for the structure of switchboards and analogous devices including
the structural combination of plural diverse impedance elements, e.g., inductors
and capacitors, inductors and resistors, capacitors
and resistors or any combination of two or more of such elements
for which provision has not been made elsewhere. See also
the search notes below for other classes providing for inductor, inductor
and capacitor or resistor combinations.
B. INDUCTOR DEVICE STRUCTUIRE CLASSIFIED ELSEWHERE:
1. Stationary Inductor Devices:
Inductor device coil and core structure will be found in Class
361, Electricity: Electrical Systems and Devices, subclasses
268+ for induction or spark coils with capacitors and/or
circuit makers and breakers of the periodically operated type, subclasses
331+.
2. Transmission Line Sections with Distributed Parameters:
Transmission line sections where the line has distributed inductance
and capacity with or without effective distributed resistance are
classified in Class 333, Wave Transmission Lines and Networks, subclasses
219+ and 245+. Note that in subclasses
245+ are resonant long line sections (i.e., with
distributed inductance and capacity) which are designed
to be operated at other than resonant frequency for producing the
effect of an inductance. For example, a short-circuited
quarter-wave length line operated at less than resonant
frequency or an open-circuited line greater than a quarter-wave
length but less than a half wave length of wave energy acts as an
inductance. Also note that subclasses 24+ of
Class 333 contains some patents relating to adjustable inductor
devices which have an appreciable inherent capacity.
3. Electromagnets with Armatures:
Electromagnets of the tractive type which include an armature
for converting electrical energy into mechanical work through the
agency of electromagnetic induction are classified in Class 335, Electricity: Magnetically
Operated Switches, Magnets, and Electromagnets, subclasses
220+ for electromagnets with armatures. Note
that also, Class 335, Electricity: Magnetically
Operated Switches, Magnets, and Electromagnets, subclasses
2+ provides for electromagnetically actuated electric switches.
4. Loading Coils:
Class 178, Telegraphy, subclass 46, provides
for inductor coil structure designed for use in long electric wave transmission
lines to modify the electric wave propagation characteristics of
the lines.
5. Telephone Inductor Coils:
Class 379, Telephonic Communications, subclasses 443+ and
the subclasses specified in the notes thereto provide for inductor
coils combined with the structure of telephone instruments.
6. Loop Antennas:
Class 343, Communications: Radio Wave Antennas, subclasses
700+, and especially subclasses 726, 728, 741+, 748, 764, 788, 842, 855, and
866+, provides for the structure of inductor coil
devices for radiating or intercepting radio wave energy in free
space.
7. Dynamo Electric Machines:
Class 310, Electrical Generator or Motor Structure, appropriate
subclasses for the structure of electric motors and generators including
synchronous condensers, synchronous motors, induction
motors, dynamotors, rotary converters, metadynes, balancer
sets and the like.
8. Electromagnetic Electro-acoustical Wave
Transducers and Sound Pick-ups:
Devices which include an electromagnetic device for converting
electrical energy to sound energy, or vice versa, or
which are used in electrically recording and/or reproducing
sound records or which are used to convert the vibrations of a musical
instrument into modified electric currents, are classified
as follows:
Music instrument transducers, Class 84, Music, subclasses
725 to 729.
Audible electrical signal producers such as bells, whistles, etc., Class
340, Communications: Electrical, subclasses
384+.

reproducing devices having a stylus for actuating, or actuated
by, the electromagnetic device, Class 369, Dynamic
Information Storage or Retrieval, subclasses 146+.

an undulating current for signaling purpose and which include means, such
as a pendulum, reed, or similar vibrating member
to vary the inductance of a variable inductor device, see
References to Other Classes, below.
10. Goniometers:
For Gonionmeters see Class 343 in References to Other Class, below.
11. Inductor Devices with Rotatable Element Recited By
Name Only in Combination with Positioning Means:
Class 74, subclasses 10+ and the subclasses
specified in the notes thereto provides for the combination of a transformer
or inductive reactor having an element (e.g., coil
or core) designed to be angularly movable in combination
with specific mechanical means for rotating a shaft for positioning
the movable element, where no significant structure of
the transformer or reactor other than that it has an angularly movable
part is recited in the claim. Where the means for moving
the shaft is not solely mechanical see the search notes to subclass
10 of Class 74 for the other classes which provide for the combination.
Where significant reactor or transformer structure is claimed, classification
is in this class (336).
12. Inductor Devices or Systems Utilizing High Temperature
Superconducting Material:
For Inductor Devices or Systems Utilizing High Temperature
Superconducting Material, see Class 505 in References to
Other Classes, below.
C. PATTERN CONTROLLED VARIABLE INDUCTOR DEVICES
AND PATTERN TRACING DEVICES WHICH ACTUATE VARIABLE INDUCTOR DEVICES:
In many of the arts, especially in the machine tool
arts, there are machines and apparatus designed to be controlled
in accordance with a pattern. The control pattern may
be facsimile of the article to be made or may be a code-type
pattern or other type of record. Many of these apparatuses
and machines disclose that the pattern actuates a variable inductor
device to modify the electric current in the control system.
A substantially complete listing of all the arts which involve pattern
control may be found in the search notes to Class 178, Telegraphy, subclass
3. Also see this class definition with reference to variable
inductor devices designed for use in reproducing sound records (e.g., phonograph
pick-ups). See References to Other Classes, below, for
classes and subclasses that are considered to be most likely to
include pattern controlled variable inductors.
D. VARIABLE INDUCTOR DEVICES OPERATED BY A CONDITION
SENSITIVE MEANS:
This class provides for adjustable inductor devices where
the movement of the inductance varying means is operated by a device
which responds to a condition, such as pressure responsive
inductor devices, temperature responsive inductor devices, etc., in
subclasses 30+.
There are many classes which provide for such condition responsive
devices in combination with the electrical system. See
above for the classification of adjustable inductor devices which
have their inductance varied in response to sound waves or which
are designed for use in reproducing sound from a sound record, or
which are designed to convert the vibrations of a musical instrument
to modified electric current. Also see above for a reference
to pattern controlled variable inductor devices.
For other classes which should be searched for condition responsive
inductor device systems see References to Other Classes, below.
E. ELECTROMAGNETS AND PERMANENT MAGNETS:
Electromagnets and permanent magnets of general application
and electromagnet coils and cores, per se, are
classified in Class 335, Electricity: Magnetically Operated
Switches, Magnets, and Electromagnets, subclasses
209+ for general application of magnets and electromagnets, electromagnetic
coils and cores, per se, subclasses 285+ for
lifting and holding electro and permanent magnets (e.g., magnetic

1. Current, Voltage And/Or Phase
Control Systems:
This class does not provide for systems which include an inductive
regulator device as a part thereof. Class 323, Electricity:
Power Supply or Regulation Systems, is the generic class
for systems for controlling the voltage and/or current
in the system and/or for systems for controlling the phase
angle between the voltage or current in the system. See
the search notes to the class definition of Class 323 for the other
classes which provide for electrical regulating systems and for

SECTION IV - GLOSSARY
ADJUSTABLE INDUCTOR
A passive inductor wherein the inductor device includes a
movable element which may be adjusted to different positions or
adjusted to vary its physical dimensions to change the effective
inductance from one value to another.
Examples of such movable elements are: a tap changing switch, a
distortable coil or core, coil length varying means, a
movable core and movable coupled coils.
Inductor devices designed to change inductance (a) as
a function of the current flowing through the inductor winding, or (b) in
accordance with a magnetic bias applied to the core of the device, or (c) as
a function of the ambient temperature of the device, and
wherein no physical elements of the inductor are moved to effect such
change in inductance, are not considered adjustable under
the above definition. Such variable inductors will be
found in subclasses 155+ of this class for magnetically
saturable or high leakage reactance type devices and subclass 179
of this class for devices responsive to changes in ambient temperature.
CLOSED COIL
is a coil which is not designed to be connected to an external
source or to a circuit, but which has the ends of the coil
connected together so that a magnetic field can induce current therein
which current flows in the closed path formed by the closed coil
and generates a magnetic field in opposition to the current inducing
field.
COIL
A conductor which creates a magnetic field due to the flow
of current therein. It may be formed into one or more
convolutions or turns, or have only a partial turn, or
be straight.
COIL AXIS
That path along which a unit magnetic pole would experience
a maximum force when a current is caused to flow in the coil conductor.
For example, in a long, uniform, single
layer cylindrical coil, the coil axis corresponds to the
geometrical axis of the coil.
CONDUCTOR
A body designed to have an electric current flowing therein.
For the purpose of classification, a magnetic core is distinguished
from a conductor. A conductor is designed to be connected
to a source of electromotive force, or to have induced
therein a voltage by inductive coupling from a current carrying
conductor. A conductor, when used as a coil, and
connected either directly or by mutual inductance to a source of
electromotive force, creates a magnetic field due to the
flow of current in the conductor. See the definition of
core.
CORE
A magnetic or magnetizable body having a magnetic permeability
greater than one. The proximate purpose of a core is to
increase the inductance of an associated coil by increasing the
number of magnetic flux interlinkages of the coil. Although
the material of the core is electrically conductive such electrical
conductivity is usually minimized by using magnetic material of
high resistivity in the form of bundles of fine wires, stacks
of thin laminations insulated from each other or a suspension of
iron powder in an electrically insulating binder.
INDUCTIVE COUPLING
The coupling between separate coils or windings due to the
electromagnetic induction between the coils or windings.
INDUCTOR
An impedance device comprising a coil means with or without
core means for introducing inductance into an electric circuit and
wherein the inherent capacitive reactance thereof does not resonate
with the inductance of the coil within the frequency range of the
electric current adapted to flow therethrough. Both transformers and
inductive reactors are included within the meaning of "inductor".
Excluded are inductor devices that are designed to do more than
introduce inductance into a circuit. Examples are:
inductor devices particularly designed to produce a magnetic field
which radiates energy which is not returned to the device, or
devices designed to produce external mechanical work by electromagnetic
action.
MAGNETIC BODY
Same as "CORE" above.
PASSIVE INDUCTOR
An inductor device which contains no source or sink of energy (i.e., an
active element). A "sink of energy" as used in
this definition is an element or network which is designed to absorb
energy, by converting electrical energy into another form
of energy. Excluded, therefore, are
variable or adjustable inductance devices in which the change in
inductance is effected, at least in part, by an
active element such as, by way of example, continuously
rotating machinery (i.e., synchronous
or asynchronous phase modifier or phase advancer machines) or
reactance tube systems having space discharge devices with electrode
biasing potential sources.
TRANSFORMER
An inductor having a plurality of coils or windings in mutually
inductive relation.
WINDING
A coil or plurality of coils which are interconnected, or designed
to be interconnected, having terminal means adapted to
be connected to an external source of current, to an output
or load circuit, or to some other circuit.
