Combined terminal block mount and lamination stack keeper

A transformer, comprising, in combination:

• a stack of laminations;
• a combined terminal block mount and lamination keeper having a flat first portion of a metal keeper of a size and shape to lie contiguous to the stack of laminations:
• said metal keeper first portion having first, second, and third arms unitary at one end with and perpendicular to a connecting strip;
• a transformer coil received on a part of said stack of laminations and on a part of said keeper first portion;
• a bend in a portion of said connecting strip to establish a mounting strip out of the plane of the first portion of said metal keeper;
• said mounting strip having a given width and thickness to mount a terminal block thereon;
• a terminal block having a cantilever arm mounted on said mounting strip;
• and
• a connection from said transformer coil to said terminal block.

A combined terminal block mount and lamination stack keeper, comprising, in combination:

• a metal keeper having a flat first portion defining substantially parallel, spaced first, second, and third arms of a size and shape to lie contiguous to and oriented with a stack of laminations;
• means for securing said keeper first portion to said lamination stack to aid in securing together the laminations in the stack;
• a part of said keeper first portion being adapted to be adjacent an inductance coil on part of a lamination stack;
• a bend in said keeper to establish a unitary mounting strip out of the plane of the keeper first portion;
• and
• said mounting strip having a width and thickness to mount a terminal block thereon.
