Claim 9
Dependent Claim
182 words
A stator of an electric machine mounted on a base, comprising: a frame mounted on said base by supporting feet; a laminated core supported in said frame and having slots arranged substantially at equally-spaced intervals around rhe periphery of an outer surface of said core; a plurality of resilient support ribs located in said slots adjacent portions of said frame adjacent to said supporting feet and secured to said frame in said portions to axially restrain said core and to support said core in said frame; and a plurality of non-resilient support ribs located in said slots adjacent portions of said frame not adjacent to said supporting feet to axially restrain said core and to provide for uniform compression of said core, said non-resilient support ribs including interconnecting members extending along said non-resilient ribs and attached to said core to rigidly secure said non-resilient ribs to the outer surface of said core, said interconnecting members being in the form of a U-shaped clamp bearing against the surface of said core and a bolt fastening said clamp and said non-resilient support rib together.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
182 words
A stator of an electric machine mounted on a base, comprising: a frame mounted on said base by supporting feet; a laminated core supported in said frame and having slots arranged substantially at equally-spaced intervals around rhe periphery of an outer surface of said core; a plurality of resilient support ribs located in said slots adjacent portions of said frame adjacent to said supporting feet and secured to said frame in said portions to axially restrain said core and to support said core in said frame; and a plurality of non-resilient support ribs located in said slots adjacent portions of said frame not adjacent to said supporting feet to axially restrain said core and to provide for uniform compression of said core, said non-resilient support ribs including interconnecting members extending along said non-resilient ribs and attached to said core to rigidly secure said non-resilient ribs to the outer surface of said core, said interconnecting members being in the form of a U-shaped clamp bearing against the surface of said core and a bolt fastening said clamp and said non-resilient support rib together.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
185 words
A stator of an electric machine mounted on a base, comprising: a frame mounted on said base by supporting feet; a laminated core supported in said frame and having slots arranged substantially at equally spaced intervals around the periphery of an outer surface of said core; a plurality of resilient support ribs located in said slots adjacent portions of said frame adjacent to said supporting feet of said frame and adjacent said base to axially restrain said core and to support said core in said frame; and a plurality of non-resilient support ribs located in said slots adjacent portions of said frame not adjacent to said supporting feet or said base to axially restrain said core and to provide for uniform compression of said core, said non-resilient support ribs including interconnecting members extending along said non-resilient ribs and attached to said core to rigidly secure said non-resilient ribs to the outer surface of said core, said interconnecting members being in the form of a U-shaped clamp bearing against the surface of said core and a bolt fastening said clamp and said non-resilient support ribs together.
