Abstract
Abstract A bipolar stepping motor includes, a single stator sheet, an air gap between the ends of the stator sheet, a rotor between the ends of the stator sheet, and a coil which encompasses a portion of the stator sheet. The stator sheet is of essentially annular configuration and is surrounded over a substantial portion of its periphery by a coil carrier. The coil is applied on the carrier in the form of a ring core winding. A carrier plate is attached to the stator sheet in the vicinity of the air gap. This plate carries a shaft of the rotor and serves as means for attaching the motor to another structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
In a bipolar stepping motor, especially for use in watches, including a stator member having opposite ends, said stator member being of one-piece construction from one of said ends to the other, said ends being spaced to form an air gap between the ends of the stator member, a rotor disposed between the ends of the stator member and forming a nonconstant air gap with those ends, said rotor including a shaft, and a coil encompassing a portion of the stator member, said one-piece stator member is of annular configuration, a coil carrier surrounding said stator member over a substantial portion of its end-to-end extent, said coil being applied on said carrier to define a ring core winding, a carrier plate attached to the stator member adjacent said air gap, said plate carrying said shaft of the rotor and serving as means for attaching the motor to another structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
In a bipolar stepping motor, especially for use in watches, including a stator member having opposite ends, said stator member being of one-piece construction from one of said ends to the other, said ends being spaced to form an air gap between the ends of the stator member, a rotor disposed between the ends of the stator member and forming a nonconstant air gap with those ends, said rotor including a shaft, and a coil encompassing a portion of the stator member, said one-piece stator member is of annular configuration, a coil carrier surrounding said stator member over a substantial portion of its end-to-end extent, said coil being applied on said carrier to define a ring core winding, a carrier plate attached to the stator member adjacent said air gap, said plate carrying said shaft of the rotor and serving as means for attaching the motor to another structure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A motor according to claim 1, wherein the carrier plate comprises insulating material and metal pins being carried by said carrier plate and being connected with terminals of said coil.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A motor according to claim 1, wherein the coil carrier comprises a formed-in-place coating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
A motor according to claim 1, in that the stator member comprises a plurality of individual sheet metal laminae having opposed sets of ends, one of said sets of ends forming one of said ends of said stator member, the other of said sets of ends forming the other of said ends of said stator member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A motor according to claim 1, wherein said coil carrier and said coil extend substantially 270 degrees around said stator member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
A motor according to claim 1, wherein said coil includes opposite ends, said carrier plate connected between said ends of said coil on a side of said air gap opposite said shaft.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
36 words
A motor according to claim 1, wherein said carrier plate is situated beneath said air gap and extends radially inwardly relative to said annular stator member, and said shaft is non-rotatably carried by said carrier plate.
