Magnetic core element, magnetic core module and an inductive component using the magnetic core module
First Claim
1. Magnetic core module composed of a plurality of rod-shaped magnetic core elements comprising a first end with a spherical or cylindrical recess or a spherical or cylindrical connecting protrusion, and a second end with a spherical or cylindrical recess or a spherical or cylindrical connecting protrusion, so that a bent connection of at least two magnetic core elements is variably adjustable, wherein at least two magnetic core elements from the plurality of magnetic core elements are connected to one another by an elastic connection element providing sufficient force to center and axially interlock the plurality of rod-shaped magnetic core elements together and held in position by friction contact.

Abstract
A rod-shaped magnetic core element, having a first end with a spherical or cylindrical recess or a spherical or cylindrical connecting protrusion, and a second end with a spherical or cylindrical recess or a spherical or cylindrical connecting protrusion so that a bent connection of at least two magnetic core elements is variably adjustable. Magnetic core elements comprising spherical or cylindrical magnetic core ends of this type allow a nearly gap-free construction with little magnetic leakage due to slightly larger end surfaces in comparison with ferrite rods having beveled plane end section surfaces. The enlarged end surface of the spherical surface advantageously allows a more stable connection of individual magnetic core elements without adhesive bonding. This allows the construction of flexible, multiple-member and inexpensive rod core coils and antennae.

22. A magnetic core module comprising:
-
a plurality of magnetic core elements, each of said plurality of magnetic core elements having a protrusion end and a recess end, the protrusion end complementing the recess end, wherein said plurality of magnetic core elements are aligned end to end with the protrusion ends mating with the recess ends forming the magnetic core module; and a spring system biasing each of said plurality of magnetic core elements towards each other with a biasing force to center and axially interlock said plurality of magnetic core elements together and held in position by frictional contact, whereby each of the plurality of magnetic core elements are centered and contacting each other so that the magnetic core module is capable of being flexible and bending. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
