## Abstract

A rotation coil bobbin having two wire holders integral with a peripherally grooved annular base thereof for holding the lead ends of the coil being mounted in the annular base and the electric wires of an electric power connector being connected to the lead ends of the coil, a plurality of upright pins raised from the annular base at the top and spaced between the wire holders for separating the electric wires of the electric power connector, and a hook raised from an inner side wall of the annular base for holding the electric wires of the electric power connector in place.

## Background
The present invention relates to a rotation coil bobbin for the picture tube of a monitor, and more particularly to such a rotation coil bobbin which has wire holders for holding the lead ends of the coil and the electric wires of an electric power connector being connected to the lead ends of the coil.

FIG. 5 shows a rotation coil bobbin for monitor according to the prior art. This structure of rotation coil bobbin 5 comprises a peripherally grooved annular base 51, which receives a coil 52, a plurality of support arms 6 raised from the base 51 at the top, each support arm 6 having a sloping face 621 fitting the curved peripheral wall of the picture tube behind the screen of the monitor, a double-sided heat-resisting adhesive tape 62 fastened to the sloping face 621 of each support arm 6, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 611 respectively connected between the base 51 and the support arms 6 to reinforce the structural strength of the bobbin 5, an electric socket 63 fixedly fastened to the base 51 at the top to which the two opposite lead ends of the coil 52 are connected, and an electric plug 624 connected to the socket 63 to provide power supply to the coil 52. This structure of rotation coil bobbin is functional, however it is expensive to manufacture. Because the manufacturing cost of the socket 63 and the electric plug 624 is high, the cost of the rotation coil bobbin cannot be greatly reduced.

According to one aspect of the present invention, two wire holders are integral with the top side wall of the bobbin for receiving the lead ends of the coil mounted thereon and the electric wires of the electric power connector being connected to the lead ends of the coil. According to another aspect of the present invention, a hook is raised from an inner side wall of the bobbin for securing the electric wires of the electric power connector in place when the electric power connector is connected to a power supply outlet.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a rotation coil bobbin according to the present invention.

FIG. 1A is an enlarged view of a part of FIG. 1.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a part of the present invention, showing the structure of the wire holder.

FIG. 3 is similar to FIG. 2 but showing the lead wires installed.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view in an enlarged scale of the present invention.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a rotation coil bobbin according to the prior art.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 1A, a rotation coil bobbin 1 in accordance with the present invention is generally comprised of a peripherally grooved annular base 11, which holds a coil 12, and a plurality of support arms 2 raised from the base 11. Each support arm 2 has a sloping face 21 fitting the curved peripheral wall of the picture tube behind the screen of the monitor. A double-sided heat-resisting adhesive tape 22 is fastened to the sloping face 21 of each support arm 2. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 210 are respectively connected between the base 11 and the support arms 2 to reinforce the structural strength of the bobbin 1.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 and FIGS. 1 and 1A again, two wire holders 23 are integral with the base 11. Two upright pins 234 are raised from the base 11 at the top and equally spaced between the wire holders 23. Each wire holder 23 comprises a channel 230 in parallel to the base 11, a bottom notch 2311 and a top notch 231 at top and bottom sides of the channel 230, a flange 232 suspended above the base 11 at one side, a groove 233 defined between the flange 232 and the base 11 (see FIG. 3). As an alternate form of the present invention, a projecting portion 2321 may be raised from the bottom side wall of the flange 232 (see FIG. 2). Further, a hook 235 is provided at an inner side of the base 11 adjacent to the wire holders 23.

Referring to Figures from FIGS. 1 through 3 again, two electric wires 3 are respectively connected to a connector 4. The opposite ends of the electric wires 3 are respectively connected to the two opposite lead ends of the coil 12. When the lead ends of the coil 12 and the electric wires 3 are connected together, the lead ends of the coil 12 are respectively inserted through the bottom notches 231, permitting the connections between the lead ends of the coil 12 and the electric wires 3 to be received in the channels 230 of the wire holders 23, and then the electric wires 3 extended out of the channels 230 of the wire holders 23 and separated by the upright pins 234 and then secured in place by the hook 235. Alternatively, the electric wires 3 can be respectively inserted through the channels 230 and then the grooves 233. The design of the top notches 231 enables the work man to conveniently set the electric wires 3 and the lead ends of the coil 12 into position.

When in use, the rotation coil bobbin 1 is mounted around the neck of the picture tube of the monitor, then adjusted to the correct position, and then the stripping film of each double-sided heat resisting adhesive tape 22 is removed, enabling each double-sided heat resisting adhesive tape 22 to be adhered to the periphery of the picture tube.

Referring to FIG. 4, when a plurality of rotation coil bobbins 1 are produced, they can be conveniently arranged in a stack to minimize storage space.

While only one embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be understood that various modifications and changes could be made thereunto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention disclosed.
