Abstract
A device for holding a coil structure that is wound in multiple coils. The device includes a coil clamp that retains the coil structure and a base substrate that the coil clamp engages in order to support the coil clamp and, in turn, the coil structure. The coil clamp is formed as a single piece coil clamp that includes a main circular portion and a base substrate engagement portion that is contiguous with the main circular portion. The main circular portion is arranged for receipt of the coil structure, and said base substrate engagement portion has a retaining recess for receiving and engaging with a side edge of the base substrate. The container box is preferably constructed of a cardboard material, and a part, or all of, the container box, is foldable and useable as the base substrate.

A device for holding a coil structure that is wound in multiple coils, said device comprising a coil clamp that retains the coil structure and a base substrate that the coil clamp engages in order to support the coil clamp and, in turn, the coil structure, said coil clamp formed as a single piece coil clamp that includes a main circular portion and a base substrate engagement portion that is contiguous with the main circular portion, said main circular portion constructed and arranged for receipt of the coil structure, said base substrate engagement portion having a retaining recess for receiving and engaging with a side edge of the base substrate, wherein the main circular portion has an end free edge that extends linearly and is disposed spaced above the base substrate when the retaining recess is engaged with the side edge of the base substrate, and wherein the base substrate extends from the retaining recess linearly to a point below the end free edge of the main circular portion.
A device for holding a coil structure that is wound in multiple coils, said device comprising a coil clamp that retains the coil structure and a planar base substrate that the coil clamp engages in order to support the coil clamp and, in turn, the coil structure, said coil clamp formed as a single piece coil clamp that includes a main circular portion having an end free edge and a planar base substrate engagement portion that is contiguous with the main circular portion, said main circular portion constructed and arranged for receipt of the coil structure, said planar base substrate engagement portion having opposed legs that define therebetween a retaining recess for receiving and engaging with a side edge of the planar base substrate, wherein the end free edge of the main circular portion is disposed spaced above the base substrate when the retaining recess is engaged with the side edge of the planar base substrate.
