Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
47 words
In an electric motor, a single solid non-magnetic cylindrical armature having commutated windings thereon, means for rotationally mounting said armature about the cylindrical axis thereof radially within a single air gap formed by peripheral permanent magnets having oppositely polarized pole faces facing the axis of said armature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
47 words
In an electric motor, a single solid non-magnetic cylindrical armature having commutated windings thereon, means for rotationally mounting said armature about the cylindrical axis thereof radially within a single air gap formed by peripheral permanent magnets having oppositely polarized pole faces facing the axis of said armature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
In an electric motor according to claim 1, wherein the pole face surfaces are convex.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
In an electric motor according to claim 1, wherein the permanent magnets are formed from rare-earth alloys.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
In an electric motor, a non-magnetic cylindrical armature having commutated windings thereon, and mounted on a non-magnetic stainless steel motor shaft for rotation about the cylindrical axis of said armature radially within a single air gap formed between peripheral spaced permanent magnetic influenced poles having alternately oppositely polarized pole faces facing the axis of said armature.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
56 words
In an electric motor, a non-magnetic cylindrical armature having commutated windings thereon, and mounted on a non-magnetic stainless steel motor shaft for rotation about the cylindrical axis of said armature radially within a single air gap formed between peripheral spaced permanent magnetic influenced poles having alternately oppositely polarized pole faces facing the axis of said armature.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
In an electric motor according to claim 4 in which said armature comprises a solid synthetic plastic body secured on said motor shaft and formed with lengthwise peripheral slots for accommodating said commutated windings.
