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:

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:

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.

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.
