Load indicating studs for dynamoelectric machine cores

Claim 1

IN COMBINATION WITH A DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE HAVING A LAMINATED CORE, MOUNTING BARS SPACED ABOUT THE OUTER PERIPHERY OF SAID CORE, AND EXTENDING AXIALLY BEYOND THE ENDS OF SAID BORE, SAID BARS HAVING THREADED BORES AT EITHER END, FINGER PLATES POSITIONED ADJACENT THE ENDS OF THE CORE, WITH A FLAT SURFACE ENGAGING THE END LAMINATIONS OF SAID CORE, THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE FINGER PLATES DEFINING A RAISED AREA INTERMEDIATE THE END OF THE FINGER PLATE, AN ANNULAR DISK POSITIONED RADIALLY INWARD FROM SAID BARS AND ENGAGING THE RAISED AREA OF SAID FINGER PLATES, AN ANNULAR CLAMP, SAID CLAMP HAVING AN OUTER FLANGE POSITIONED ADJACENT THE ENDS OF SAID BARS AND AN INNER FLANGE IN ABUTTING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE RADIALLY OUTER PORTION OF SAID DISK, SAID OUTER FLANGE HAVING ARCUATELY SPACED APERTURES ALIGNED WITH SAID THREADED BORES IN SAID BARS, AND A LOAD INDICATING STUD FOR EACH OF SAID BARS, SAID STUD COMPRISING A CYLINDRICAL MEMBER EXTENDING THROUGH ONE OF SAID APERTURES AND ENGAGING A THREADED BORE IN ONE OF SAID BARS, SAID MEMBER HAVING A BORE EXTENDING AXIALLY THERETHROUGH, A REFERENCE SURFACE FORMED AT THE OUTER END OF SAID MEMBER AND A PLUG CONNECTED TO THE INNER END OF SAID MEMBER, A ROD CONNECTED TO SAID PLUG AND EXTENDING THROUGH SAID BORE IN SAID MEMBER TOWARD SAID REFERENCE SURFACE, THE OUTER END OF SAID MEMBER BEING EXTERNALLY THREADED AND A NUT OPERATIVELY ENGAGING SAID THREADED PORTION TO APPLY PRESSURE ON SAID CORE THROUGH SAID CLAMP, SAID DISK AND SAID PLATES WHEREBY THE PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO SAID CORE BY SAID STUD CAN BE DETERMINED BY MEASURING THE LENGTH DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN SAID REFERENCE SURFACE AND THE EXTENDED END OF SAID ROD.
