Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A superconductive magnet coil having an elongated dipole winding positioned on a carrier tube, the winding comprising two winding components shaped as shells which are symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry which goes through the longitudinal axis of the carrier tube and which is perpendicular to the magnetic field of the coil, the winding components each comprising a plurality of superimposed winding layers each having axially extending sides approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the carrier cylinder and circumferentially extending winding heads, the mutually corresponding winding layers of these winding components cooperatively forming layers and having support members extending between their mutually adjacent axially extending sides, the coil having liquid coolant ducts through which liquid coolant can pass from the outside of the coil to contact at least one side of the winding layers in axial and circumferential directions; wherein the improvement comprises the formation of radial coolant passages extending through said support members and between said winding layers'' mutually adjacent axially extending sides and radially connecting said ducts with the outside periphery of said coil, said passages being free from said winding components.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A superconductive magnet coil having an elongated dipole winding positioned on a carrier tube, the winding comprising two winding components shaped as shells which are symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry which goes through the longitudinal axis of the carrier tube and which is perpendicular to the magnetic field of the coil, the winding components each comprising a plurality of superimposed winding layers each having axially extending sides approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the carrier cylinder and circumferentially extending winding heads, the mutually corresponding winding layers of these winding components cooperatively forming layers and having support members extending between their mutually adjacent axially extending sides, the coil having liquid coolant ducts through which liquid coolant can pass from the outside of the coil to contact at least one side of the winding layers in axial and circumferential directions; wherein the improvement comprises the formation of radial coolant passages extending through said support members and between said winding layers'' mutually adjacent axially extending sides and radially connecting said ducts with the outside periphery of said coil, said passages being free from said winding components.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
The magnet of claim 1 in which said coolant ducts are formed by one or more layers which are liquid coolant permeable in all directions and conform in shape to said windings'' layers and are in contact therewith, said radial coolant passages being open to said permeabLe layers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
64 words
The magnet of claim 2 in which said support members are support bars and said radial coolant passages include a series of holes extending transversely through said support bars, the latter extending axially with respect to said coil and said radial coolant passages extending through one or more of said permeable layers, said support bars being at least adjacent to said plane of symmetry.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
68 words
The magnet of claim 2 in which cores are positioned within the innermost turns of said winding layers, said liquid permeable layers being in contact with the radially inner and outer surfaces of said winding layers and the radially inner and outer surfaces of said cores, the latter being formed with holes forming radial liquid coolant passages extending from one of said liquid permeable layers to the other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
The magnet of claim 4 in which the outer circumference of at least the outermost one of said liquid permeable layers is encircled by a high-tensile strength cover having holes formed therethrough in registration with the holes formed in said cores.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
The magnet of claim 1 in which means are interposed between said winding components and said carrier tube for forming longitudinally and circumferentially extending liquid coolant passages open to the radially inside surfaces of said winding components and to said radial passages.
