Abstract

A bobbin comprises: a bobbin body consisting generally of a cylinder having a winding of a magnet wire therearound, and two flanges; and a bobbin cover formed generally into a cylindrical ring. The bobbin body includes a coil termination block protruding radially from an inner flange of the two and having terminal pins for external connection, and the bobbin cover includes a termination protector protruding radially from the bobbin cover and adapted to mate with the coil termination block when the bobbin cover is put over the bobbin body.

Claims (12)

1. A bobbin comprising:

a bobbin body composed of a cylinder for having a winding of a magnet wire therearound and two flanges formed on both ends of the cylinder and adapted to hold the winding in place and cover sides of the winding; and

a bobbin cover adapted to be put over the winding and cover a circumference of the winding;

wherein the bobbin body includes a coil termination block having terminal pins for external connection to which terminations of the magnet wire are connected, and the bobbin cover is configured so as to cover both the winding and the terminations and the coil termination block is formed so as to radially protrude outward from one flange of the two flanges and has the terminal pins provided at its distal end surface, and the bobbin cover includes a termination protector formed so as to radially protrude outward from the bobbin cover and adapted to cover the coil termination block.

2. A bobbin according to claim 1 , wherein the bobbin cover is formed in a cylindrical ring and has an outer diameter equal to an outer diameter of the flange.

3. A bobbin according to claim 2 , wherein the bobbin cover has an axial dimension equal to or slightly smaller than a dimension between respective inner sides of the two flanges of the bobbin body.

4. A bobbin according to claim 2 , wherein the bobbin cover has a slit gap which breaks continuity of the cylindrical ring of the bobbin cover.

5. A bobbin according to claim 1 , wherein the bobbin cover is formed of resin material having elasticity.

6. A bobbin according to claim 1 , wherein the bobbin body and the bobbin cover have respective positioning mechanisms engaging with each other.

7. A bobbin according to claim 1 , wherein the coil termination block has a predetermined width, and the termination protector has a width equal to or larger than the width of the coil termination block.

8. A bobbin according to claim 1 , wherein the termination protector has a protrusion dimension larger than a protrusion dimension of the coil termination block.

9. A bobbin according to claim 1 , wherein the bobbin is used for a motor.
