Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A VARIABLE INDUCTIVE DEVICE COMPRISING A CORE HAVING PLURAL LAMINATIONS PROVIDING A MAGNETIC CIRCUIT, SAID LAMINATIONS BEING ARRANGED RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER TO DEFINE AN AIR GAP IN SAID MAGNETIC CIRCUIT, FIRST GROUPS OF LAMINATIONS BEING ARRANGED IN RELATION TO EACH OTHER TO PROVIDE A RELATIVELY FIXED LENGTH FOR A FIRST SEGMENT OF SAID AIR GAP AND A CORRESPONDING RELATIVELY FIXED VALUE OF INDUCTANCE, AND MEANS FOR MOUNTING A SECOND GROUP OF LAMINATIONS FOR MOVEMENT RELATIVE TO SAID AIR GAP AND IN PLANES PARALLEL TO THE LAMINATIONS OF SAID FIRST GROUP TO PROVIDE AN ADJUSTABLE LENGTH FOR A SECOND SEGMENT OF SAID AIR GAP AND A CORRESPONDING VARIABLE INDUCTANCE WHEREBY VERNIER ADJUSTMENT MAY BE MADE IN THE TOTAL INDUCTANCE OF SAID DEVICE.
