Claim 1
Independent Claim
229 words
A multiple-pole rotary electrical machine having a rotor part and a stator part with an airgap therebetween wherein at least one part comprises a soft iron core having poles extending toward said airgap and a winding extending axially of said core; the improvement comprising in that each pole is a separate unit adapted to be joined with an adjacent unit by being pushed together axially with respect to the core whereby all of the units together form a pole ring in which every other pole is identical and in that the axial length of said winding does not exceed the axial length of said units when said units are pushed together to form a pole ring, where each said pole comprises two groups of a plurality of rectangular laminations with each lamination being curved into a horseshoe shape and where the laminations of one group are curved in one direction and the laminations of the other group are curved in an opposite direction, wherein one end of one group of laminations is adjacent an end of the other group of laminations to form a pole shoe wherein all of the laminations extend axially of the core and where the ends of a group of laminations opposite from the ends forming a pole shoe are overlapped to join with overlapped ends of a group of laminations of an adjacent pole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
229 words
A multiple-pole rotary electrical machine having a rotor part and a stator part with an airgap therebetween wherein at least one part comprises a soft iron core having poles extending toward said airgap and a winding extending axially of said core; the improvement comprising in that each pole is a separate unit adapted to be joined with an adjacent unit by being pushed together axially with respect to the core whereby all of the units together form a pole ring in which every other pole is identical and in that the axial length of said winding does not exceed the axial length of said units when said units are pushed together to form a pole ring, where each said pole comprises two groups of a plurality of rectangular laminations with each lamination being curved into a horseshoe shape and where the laminations of one group are curved in one direction and the laminations of the other group are curved in an opposite direction, wherein one end of one group of laminations is adjacent an end of the other group of laminations to form a pole shoe wherein all of the laminations extend axially of the core and where the ends of a group of laminations opposite from the ends forming a pole shoe are overlapped to join with overlapped ends of a group of laminations of an adjacent pole.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
A multiple pole rotary electrical machine according to claim 1 in which the overlapped ends are staggered relative to one another whereby when one pole is joined with an adjacent pole, the staggered ends of a group of laminations of one pole will engage with the staggered ends of a group of laminations of an adjacent pole.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
122 words
A multiple-pole rotary electrical machine having a rotor part and a stator part with an airgap therebetween wherein at least one part comprises a soft iron core having poles extending towards said air gap and a winding extending axially of the core; the improvement comprising in that each pole comprises a plurality of laminations forming a separate unit adapted to be joined with an adjacent unit by being pushed together axially with respect to the core whereby all of the units together form a pole ring in which every other pole is identical and in that the axial length of said winding is equal to the axial length of said units when said units are pushed together to form a pole ring.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
122 words
A multiple-pole rotary electrical machine having a rotor part and a stator part with an airgap therebetween wherein at least one part comprises a soft iron core having poles extending towards said air gap and a winding extending axially of the core; the improvement comprising in that each pole comprises a plurality of laminations forming a separate unit adapted to be joined with an adjacent unit by being pushed together axially with respect to the core whereby all of the units together form a pole ring in which every other pole is identical and in that the axial length of said winding is equal to the axial length of said units when said units are pushed together to form a pole ring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
92 words
A multiple-pole rotary electrical machine according to claim 3 characterized in that each said pole comprises two groups of a plurality of rectangular laminations with each lamination being curved into a horseshoe shape and where the laminations of one group are curved in one direction and the laminations of the other group are curved in an opposite direction and wherein one end of one group of laminations is adjacent an end of the other group of laminations to form a pole shoe and wherein all the laminations extend axially of the core.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
86 words
A multiple-pole rotary electrical machine according to claim 3 characterized in that each said pole comprises two groups of a plurality of rectangular laminations with each said lamination being curved into a horseshoe shape wherein one of the ends of the horseshoe of one group of laminations forms a half of a pole shoe and one of the ends of the horseshoe of the other group of laminations forms the other half of the pole shoe and wherein all the laminations extend axially of the core.
