Abstract
Abstract A plurality of pairs of radially disposed magnetically permeable plates with included permanent magnets disposed therebetween with the plates including cutout portions providing an annular volume for housing at least one electrical coil and which cutout portions also divide each pair of plates into at least first and second sets of tooth-shaped stator or field poles for bridge-type magnetic circuits in an electric motor. A concentrically disposed rotor is also provided with at least first and second sets of tooth-shaped rotor poles angularly phased to cooperate and magnetically couple with the sets of stator poles thus completing bridge-type magnetic circuits within the motor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
218 words
An improved electric motor having bridge-type magnetic circuits, said motor comprising: an elongated armature formed of a magnetically permeable material and disposed for rotation about an axis; said elongated armature including at least first and second sets of axially spaced-apart salient rotor poles; a stationary field structure disposed about said armature including; a plurality of pairs of magnetically permeable plates radially disposed about said axis; a permanent magnet disposed between each of said pairs of plates for causing one of each of said pair of plates to have a magnetic polarity opposite that of the other; at least one cutout portion in each of said plates for defining salient stator poles with the remaining uncut portions; first and third sets of said stator poles axially spaced to one side of said cutout portion in substantial phase opposition and disposed for magnetically coupling with said first set of spaced rotor poles; second and fourth sets of stator poles axially spaced to the other side of said cutout portions in substantial phase opposition and disposed for magnetically coupling with said second set of spaced rotor poles, said first and second sets of stator poles being substantially in phase opposition; and an energizing electrical coil disposed concentrically about said armature and substantially within an annular volume defined by said cutout portions.
