A method for manufacturing a coil component includes: a first winding step to wind a first conductive wire around a winding core in a single layer from a first flange part toward a second flange part; and a second winding step to wind a second conductive wire around the winding core on the first conductive wire by the same number of turns and in the same direction as in the first winding step in a single layer in a manner that center B of the cross-section of the second conductive wire closest to the first flange part is positioned closer to the first flange part than is center A of the cross-section of the first conductive wire closest to the first flange part, and that the distance in the axial direction, between centers A and B is smaller than the radius of the wire.

Method and machine to manufacture a coil around a component of an article. A main conveyor moves, along a working path, a carriage provided with a seat designed to house the component; the component is arranged in the seat of the carriage in an input station arranged along the working path; and in a winding station arranged along the working path, a wire is directly wound around the component to form a series of turns making up the coil by making a movable finger, which engages the wire in a sliding manner, revolving around the component several times.

A removable weighted vehicle safety guard system having a safety attachment that removably attaches to the back end of a vehicle to add weight, thereby helping to keep the back end of the vehicle stabilized while driving in inclement weather or on slippery road surfaces, and additionally forms a brush guard to prevent damage to the vehicle should another vehicle rear-end the user's vehicle. The removable weighted vehicle safety guard system attaches to the back end of the vehicle via the hitch and is secured using bolts or trailer pins. The removable weighted vehicle safety guard system provides static weight to the back end of the vehicle but may optionally also receive additional if needed. The additional weight may take a number of forms, including weight blocks, and can be added to the removable weighted vehicle safety guard system via bolts or trailer pins.

A coil component includes at least one outer electrode, an element body and a conductor. The element body includes a first surface on which at least a portion of each of the outer electrode(s) is provided, a second surface immediately adjacent to the first surface, a core portion extending from the second surface in axial direction of the core portion, and a recess having a curved concave surface replacing at a portion of a ridge line between the first surface and the second surface. The conductor includes a winding portion that extends around a periphery of the core portion of the element body, a junction portion that is electrically joined to the outer electrode at the first surface, and a lead portion that passes through the recess and connects one end of the winding portion to the junction portion via the recess.

According to some implementations, an apparatus for transmitting charging power wirelessly to a load is provided. The apparatus comprises at least one ferrite structure comprising a first ferrite portion, a second ferrite portion comprising at least a first ferrite leg, a second ferrite leg, and a third ferrite leg, each physically separated from the first ferrite portion by a first distance, and a third ferrite portion positioned between the second ferrite leg and the first ferrite portion and physically contacting the second ferrite leg. The at least one ferrite structure further comprises a coil wound around the second ferrite leg and configured to generate an alternating current under influence of an alternating magnetic field.
