Abstract
Abstract Mounting adapter means for augmenting predetermined outer peripheral configuration of motor with spaced apart coolant passing openings. Such means may be clips fastened to the motor adjacent surface. Clips have resiliently movable elements that snap fit in motor structure openings so as to facilitate assembly and yet provide a reliable and stable arrangement. Clips resist undesirable distortion or deformation thereof during use and include offset stabilizing segments. Clips may be fabricated by stamping clip blanks from a strip of sheet material and then forming the stamped blanks to a desired clip configuration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A mounting adapter for a dynamoelectric machine, said adapter comprising at least two laterally extending legs and at least two spaced apart resiliently movable depending elements having surfaces for engaging portions of a dynamoelectric machine stationary structure; said depending elements being spaced apart a predetermined distance to trap a predetermined portion of a dynamoelectric machine stationary surface therebetween; said at least two depending elements and at least two laterally extending legs being interconnected whereby the laterally extending legs may be held in a desired relationship to a dynamoelectric stationary surface trapped between said at least two depending elements.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A mounting adapter for a dynamoelectric machine, said adapter comprising at least two laterally extending legs and at least two spaced apart resiliently movable depending elements having surfaces for engaging portions of a dynamoelectric machine stationary structure; said depending elements being spaced apart a predetermined distance to trap a predetermined portion of a dynamoelectric machine stationary surface therebetween; said at least two depending elements and at least two laterally extending legs being interconnected whereby the laterally extending legs may be held in a desired relationship to a dynamoelectric stationary surface trapped between said at least two depending elements.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
The mounting adApter of claim 1 wherein the adapter is formed from sheet material and at least one of the at least two legs is provided with stabilizing means for increasing the rigidity of said at least one of the at least two legs when it is disposed on edge against a dynamoelectric machine stationary surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The mounting adapter of claim 2 wherein the stabilizing means comprises an offset segment of said at least one of the at least two legs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
77 words
Mounting adapter means for use in establishing a predetermined spacing between a band type mount and a selected stationary peripheral surface of a dynamoelectric machine, the adapter means comprising: a clip formed of sheet material having at least two legs and means for holding said legs on edge adjacent to the selected stationary peripheral surface; said means for holding including spaced apart elements arranged to interfit in openings formed in at least one dynamoelectric machine peripheral surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
77 words
Mounting adapter means for use in establishing a predetermined spacing between a band type mount and a selected stationary peripheral surface of a dynamoelectric machine, the adapter means comprising: a clip formed of sheet material having at least two legs and means for holding said legs on edge adjacent to the selected stationary peripheral surface; said means for holding including spaced apart elements arranged to interfit in openings formed in at least one dynamoelectric machine peripheral surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The structure of claim 4 wherein said elements are resiliently movable to thereby provide a snap in effect during assembly of the adapter means and a dynamoelectric machine.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
The structure of claim 5 wherein at least one of the legs includes an offset segment to thereby stabilize said at least one of the legs when it is held on edge adjacent to the selected stationary peripheral surface.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
73 words
Mounting adapter means for use in establishing a predetermined spacing between a band type mount and a selected stationary peripheral surface of a dynamoelectric machine, the adapter means comprising: a member having at least one leg and means for holding said leg on edge adjacent to the selected stationary peripheral surface; said means for holding including spaced apart elements arranged to interfit in openings formed in at least one dynamoelectric machine peripheral surface.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
73 words
Mounting adapter means for use in establishing a predetermined spacing between a band type mount and a selected stationary peripheral surface of a dynamoelectric machine, the adapter means comprising: a member having at least one leg and means for holding said leg on edge adjacent to the selected stationary peripheral surface; said means for holding including spaced apart elements arranged to interfit in openings formed in at least one dynamoelectric machine peripheral surface.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
28 words
The structure of claim 7 wherein said elements are resiliently movable to thereby provide a snap in effect during assembly of the adapter means and a dynamoelectric machine.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
15 words
The structure of claim 7 wherein said adapter means is formed of a thermoresponsive material.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
25 words
The structure of claim 9 wherein said adapter means is a molded member and includes a body and four latching members extending from said body.
