Patent ID: 7999647

Claim:
An apparatus to combine multiple windings on a magnetic core, the apparatus comprising: an integrated winding structure comprising a winding base and multiple winding extensions extending from the winding base, the multiple winding extensions and the winding base formed from a single sheet of electrically conductive material as a continuous piece of the electrically conductive material, the winding base comprising an electrical connection surface, the multiple winding extensions each comprising, a base portion configured to extend from the winding base along a first face of a fully assembled magnetic core; a wrapping portion configured to extend from the base portion along a second face of the fully assembled magnetic core; and a connection portion configured to extend from the wrapping portion along a third face of the fully assembled magnetic core, the connection portion comprising an electrical connection surface, wherein the base portion, the wrapping portion, and the connection portion of each winding extend from the winding base such that the integrated winding structure is shaped for placement over the fully assembled magnetic core in a single motion.
