Filed:

Aug 22, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/643624

Inventors:

David Christopherson - Raleigh NC
Barry Powell - Knightdale NC
Towfig Gangjee - Raleigh NC

Assignee:

Square D Company - Palatine IL

International Classification:

B65H 7514

US Classification:

2426086, 2424374, 2424727, 2426133

Abstract:

A bobbin for an electrical coil having a width that is small with respect to its depth. The bobbin is constructed from two identical halves, each having one generally flat flange and a web portion defining a latching feature, a locking feature and a core window centrally located in the flange. The mating surfaces of the two bobbin halves are defined along the distal ends of the web portions such that each half includes one complete flange and core window. The mating surfaces are also configured such as to prevent the fine coil wire from slipping between the mating surfaces of the two bobbin halves as the coil is being wound. The latching features of one bobbin half slidingly engage the latching features of the other bobbin half such that the two bobbin halves are held together. The locking features of the two bobbin halves also engage to prevent unintentional longitudinal movement between the two bobbin halves prior to winding the coil wire on the bobbin. The latching features are configured such that winding of the coil wire about the bobbin web positively interlocks the latches, thereby preventing them from being separated.

Appl. No.:

9/055542

Inventors:

Stanley H. Edwards - Raleigh NC
T. Ray Robbins - Zebulon NC
Barry Edward Powell - Raleigh NC

Assignee:

Square D Company - Palatine IL

International Classification:

G05G 110

US Classification:

74553

Abstract:

An operating shaft which provides compensation for axial and spatial misalignment between a rotatable component mounted within an enclosure and a rotating apparatus generally outside the enclosure is disclosed. The operating shaft has a first end dimensioned to be slidably received within a receiving portion of the rotating apparatus such that the shaft is maintained in a fixed angular position with respect to the rotating apparatus. The shaft is axially slidable with respect to the rotating apparatus such that it will provide compensation for axial misalignment between the rotatable component and the rotating apparatus. The shaft has a second end configured to engage the rotatable component such that rotation of the rotating apparatus will produce a corresponding rotation of the rotatable component. The shaft also has a spatial compensation device which is integrally formed from the shaft between the first and second ends. The spatial compensation device provides compensation for spatial misalignment between the axis of the rotatable component and the axis of the rotatable apparatus.
