Abstract
Abstract Lead wires from the field coils of a two-coil, two-pole stator for a motor of the universal type are wound about posts projecting outwardly from a wire retainer mounted to the stator by means of cannulas encircling said posts and having hook portions for engaging the coil lead wires. Lead support means support leads emanating from already wound field coils at positions adjacent said posts, there being four posts and four cannulas, each telescopically encircling one of said posts. Drive means simultaneously rotate all four cannulas in directions appropriate to cause the hook portions thereon to engage the four leads emanating from the two coils and continued rotation of the cannulas causes the hook portions thereon to wind the lead wires about the posts as the lead support means permits the lead wires to be drawn therethrough while maintaining the lead wires under tension as they are wound about the posts.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
Apparatus for terminating a wire extending from a coil wound about a flux-carrying member on post means projecting outwardly from a wire retainer mounted on said flux-carrying member, said apparatus comprising, in combination, clamp means disposed remotely from said coil for yieldably supporting said wire, said wire extending from said clamp means and alongside said post means to said coil, hook means disposed adjacent said post means for hooking said wire, and means for rotating said hook means about the axis of said post means to engage said hook means with said wire and with continued rotation to cause said hook means to wind said wire about said post means, said means for rotating said hook means causing said hook means to hook said wire between said clamp means and said coil, said means for rotating said hook means moving said hook means in a direction which tends to increase the tension in said wire along its length between said coil and said clamp means, said clamp means adapted to yield to such increased tension.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
175 words
Apparatus for terminating a wire extending from a coil wound about a flux-carrying member on post means projecting outwardly from a wire retainer mounted on said flux-carrying member, said apparatus comprising, in combination, clamp means disposed remotely from said coil for yieldably supporting said wire, said wire extending from said clamp means and alongside said post means to said coil, hook means disposed adjacent said post means for hooking said wire, and means for rotating said hook means about the axis of said post means to engage said hook means with said wire and with continued rotation to cause said hook means to wind said wire about said post means, said means for rotating said hook means causing said hook means to hook said wire between said clamp means and said coil, said means for rotating said hook means moving said hook means in a direction which tends to increase the tension in said wire along its length between said coil and said clamp means, said clamp means adapted to yield to such increased tension.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
131 words
Apparatus for terminating a wire extending from a coil wound about a flux-carrying member on post means projecting outwardly from a wire retainer mounted upon said flux-carrying member, said apparatus comprising, in combination, clamp means for yieldably supporting said wire adjacent said post means, hook means disposed adjacent said post means for hooking said wire, means for rotating said hook means about the axis of said post means to engage said hook means with said wire and with continued rotation to cause said hook means to wind said wire about said post means, means caging said hook means, spring means biasing said caging means axially with respect to said post means for traversing said hook means along said post means as said hook means winds said wire about said post means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
131 words
Apparatus for terminating a wire extending from a coil wound about a flux-carrying member on post means projecting outwardly from a wire retainer mounted upon said flux-carrying member, said apparatus comprising, in combination, clamp means for yieldably supporting said wire adjacent said post means, hook means disposed adjacent said post means for hooking said wire, means for rotating said hook means about the axis of said post means to engage said hook means with said wire and with continued rotation to cause said hook means to wind said wire about said post means, means caging said hook means, spring means biasing said caging means axially with respect to said post means for traversing said hook means along said post means as said hook means winds said wire about said post means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
The apparatus of claim 2 further including limit means to limit the movement of said caging means and said hook means in response to said bias means, and means responsive to said means for rotating said hook means to traverse said limit means axially with respect to said post means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The apparatus of claim 3 including spacer means limiting the traverse of said hook means and said caging means independently of said limit means.
