Abstract
Abstract A laminated core manufacture wherein a plurality of apertured laminations are provided with projections formed from the portion of the sheet from which the apertures are formed to define an interlocked laminated stack. The first of the laminations is provided with a through aperture with the projection being eliminated so as to define a nonprojecting surface in the first of the laminations of the stack, with the projections of each of the subsequent laminations extending into and being interlocked with the preceding lamination in the aperture thereof. The punching apparatus for providing the apertures and projections is selectively operated to define either the formed aperture and projection structure or a blanked out apertured structure. The blanked out apertured structure defines the first of the laminations of the stack. The extent of the projections from the laminations is preselected to be no greater than the thickness of the laminations so that the projection of the laminations superjacent the first lamination is received fully within the blanked out aperture thereof. The blanked out laminations may be indexed to define a skewed axis dynamoelectric structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
In an apparatus for forming from a metal sheet a laminated dynamoelectric structure having a plurality of stacked interlocked formed laminations, the improvement comprising: means defining a punching station having a punch for punching a portion of the sheet to form therein a displaced projection, said portion of the sheet from which the projection is displaced defining an aperture; means advancing the sheet to a blanking station; means at the blanking station for blanking out said portion to define a formed lamination, said punching station means, advancing means, and blanking station means being operated seriatim to cause a series of such sheet portions to be formed with said projections and apertures at said punching station and advanced sequentially to said blanking station whereat the formed laminations are blanked out and stacked; and control means for selectively causing the punching station means to continue the punching operation of said punch sufficiently to blank out the projection of the first of the series of said sheet portions to form the first of the laminations of the stack.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said control means comprises means for varying the stroke of said punch means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said projection extends from the lamination from which it is formed a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the lamination.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said sheet portions include an opening adjacent the projection.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said sheet portions include an opening, said aperture extending into said opening.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said sheet portions further define an annular array of slots, said punching means providing said projections and apertures in indexed relationship to said slots.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
50 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said punching means includes a cam for moving said punch, and means for controlling the movement of the cam for selectively varying the stroke of the punch to provide selectively said projections and the blanking out of the projection of said first sheet portion.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
31 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein means are provided for transferring the laminations from the blanking station in the form of an interlocked stack with said first blanked out lamination lowermost.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
37 words
The apparatus of claim 1 further including means for press fitting the interlocked projections and apertures of the stacked lamination, and means for subsequently transferring the press fitted interlocked laminations as a stack from the blanking station.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
48 words
The apparatus of claim 1 further including means for press fitting the interlocked projections and apertures of the stacked laminations, and means for subsequently transferring the press fitted interlocked laminations as a stack from the blanking station in sequentially indexed relationship to define a skewed axis dynamoelectric machine.
