Abstract
A flexible electromagnet and a method for producing such are disclosed, the flexible electromagnet having a flexible magnetic core which permits directing the magnetic flux as desired. The core is constructed from a sufficiently flexible material such as cold rolled steel annealed to increase its flexiblity. A wire winding is wound on the core which is configured to be straight. Once the winding is complete, the core may be configured and reconfigured as desired. Particularly advantageous uses are in status indicators, especially miniature status indicators.
