Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A device for the contactless transmission of electrical energy, intended in particular for firing an ignitor connected to a pyrotechic charge, of the type comprising a fixed control primary winding capable of being supplied with alternating current, and a secondary winding connected to the ignitor and mounted on the pyrotechnic charge within a magnetic circuit which is itself enclosed in a protective shield against stray induction currents there being an air gap between said windings, characterized in that the said shield comprises a fixed magnetic screen of saturable iron designed so as to be saturated in the presence of the magnetic control flux generated by the primary winding.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
108 words
A device for the contactless transmission of electrical energy, intended in particular for firing an ignitor connected to a pyrotechic charge, of the type comprising a fixed control primary winding capable of being supplied with alternating current, and a secondary winding connected to the ignitor and mounted on the pyrotechnic charge within a magnetic circuit which is itself enclosed in a protective shield against stray induction currents there being an air gap between said windings, characterized in that the said shield comprises a fixed magnetic screen of saturable iron designed so as to be saturated in the presence of the magnetic control flux generated by the primary winding.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
The device according to claim 1, characterised in that the secondary winding is completely enclosed in a shell of an extremely electrically conducting metal which is thinner at right-angles to the air gap so as to form an electrical screen against which is placed the magnetic screen of saturable iron.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The device according to claim 1, characterised in that the thickness of the magnetic screen of saturable iron decreases progressively as a function of its radius.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The device according to claim 2, characterized in that the thickness of the magnetic screen of saturable iron decreases progressively as a function of its radius.
