Abstract A machine for inserting windings into stators of electric motors and like machines which is provided with a machine frame divided into two parts with the upper part pivotally mounted on the lower part and carrying an insertion tool for the windings. Such a construction allows the adjustment of the head of the insertion tool according to the height of the operator. The pivot is disposed eccentrically on the lower frame part and preferably located near the front edge of the lower frame part and immediately above the upper edge of the lower frame part. The upper part may be adjustable by a continuously variable lifting device mounted on the lower frame part and flexible in any desired position of adjustment. Skirts, pivotally linked to the lower edges of the front and rear sides of the upper part shroud the corresponding upper edges of the lower frame part in all positions of the upper frame part.
A machine for inserting windings into stators of electric motors and dynamo electric machines comprising a first frame member, a pivotal mounting disposed on the first frame member, a second frame member secured to said pivotal mounting such that said second frame member is pivotable about a generally horizontal axis relative to said first frame member, and a winding inserting tool for supporting a stator thereon, said tool being mounted on the second frame member and including a plurality of stator-holding fingers projecting outwardly in a direction generally perpendicular to the said horizontal axis, means for pivoting said second frame member relative to the first frame member to increase the height and vary the angular orientation of the fingers of the inserting tool, and means mounted adjacent said inserting tool to cooperate therewith for securing said stator on said inserting tool.

A machine for inserting windings into stators of electric motors and dynamo electric machines comprising a first frame member, a pivotal mounting disposed on the first frame member, a second frame member secured to said pivotal mounting such that said second frame member is pivotable about a generally horizontal axis relative to said first frame member, and a winding inserting tool for supporting a stator thereon, said tool being mounted on the second frame member and including a plurality of stator-holding fingers projecting outwardly in a direction generally perpendicular to the said horizontal axis, means for pivoting said second frame member relative to the first frame member to increase the height and vary the angular orientation of the fingers of the inserting tool, and means mounted adjacent said inserting tool to cooperate therewith for securing said stator on said inserting tool.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
A machine as claimed in claim 1 in which said pivoting means includes a continuously variable lifting device mounted on said first frame member and supporting said second frame member to adjust said second frame member about said pivotal mounting and means for securing said lifting device in any position of adjustment thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A machine according to claim 1, wherein the said pivotal mounting of said first frame member is located near the side edge of said first frame member closest to the said tool and immediately above an upper surface of said first frame member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
A machine as claimed in claim 3 wherein the pivotally mounted second frame member freely carries at the lower edges of its front and rear sides a shrouding skirt having a length such that in all positions of adjustment of said second frame member the corresponding upper edges of the first frame member are shrouded by said skirt.
