Abstract
A unitary magnet (1) that has an elongate shape including a first longitudinal portion (1a) having an outer contour with shapes (6) that are recessed in the direction of the inside of the unitary magnet (1), where the recessed shapes (6) extend over at least part of a length of the first portion (1a) and/or extending, over at least part of the perimeter of the unitary magnet, (1) transversely to a longitudinal axis of the unitary magnet near at least one longitudinal end of the unitary magnet (1).
Claims21
A magnet structure (2) in three dimensions comprising:
- a plurality of unitary magnets (1), the unitary magnets (1) being directly adjacent to one another, characterized in that:
- each unitary magnet (1) comprises a longitudinal first portion (1a) having an external contour with shapes (6) recessed toward the interior of the unitary magnet (1) extending over at least a part of a length of the first portion (1a) and/or recessed shapes (6a) extending over at least a portion of the periphery of the unitary magnet (1) transverse to a longitudinal axis of the unitary magnet (1) in proximity to at least one longitudinal extremity of the unitary magnet (1),
- the unitary magnets (1) being partly in contact with one another at the level of the shapes (6, 6a) recessed toward the interior,
- the magnets being adhesively connected to one another by the deposition of adhesive on at least a portion of the recessed shapes (6, 6a), the plurality of unitary magnets (1) creating a mesh structure of magnets without the interposition of retention elements between them other than the adhesive.
