Abstract
Abstract A die structure for use in a laminated core manufacture wherein a plurality of apertured sheets 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 sheets is provided with a through aperture with the projection being eliminated so as to define a nonprojecting surface in the first of the sheets of the stack, with the projections of each of the subsequent sheets extending into and being interlocked with the preceding sheets 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 sheets of the stack. The extent of the projections from the sheets is preselected to be no greater than the thickness of the sheets so that the projection of the sheets superjacent the first lamination is received fully within the blanked out aperture thereof. The blanked out sheets may be indexed to define a skewed axis dynamoelectric structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
A laminated stack manufacture comprising: a first sheet having a first keyhole-shaped aperture; a second sheet overlying said first sheet and having a second keyhole-shaped aperture substantially corresponding to and aligned with said first aperture, projection extending downwardly from said second sheet and received in said first aperture, said projection defining an arcuate distal end defining with an arcuate end of the subsequent aperture a circular opening in each but the top sheet; and a plurality of additional sheets similar to said second sheet and stacked thereon with the projection of each extending into the aperture of the subjacent sheet and the top surface of the top sheet being substantially planar, the bottom surface of said first sheet being substantially planar and having said first aperture open downwardly therethrough, the said sheets cooperatively defining an interlocked stack having apertured substantially planar top and bottom surfaces, said planar bottom surface of the stack permitting positive facial support of the stack on a flat underlying support during stacking manufacture thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
168 words
A laminated stack manufacture comprising: a first sheet having a first keyhole-shaped aperture; a second sheet overlying said first sheet and having a second keyhole-shaped aperture substantially corresponding to and aligned with said first aperture, projection extending downwardly from said second sheet and received in said first aperture, said projection defining an arcuate distal end defining with an arcuate end of the subsequent aperture a circular opening in each but the top sheet; and a plurality of additional sheets similar to said second sheet and stacked thereon with the projection of each extending into the aperture of the subjacent sheet and the top surface of the top sheet being substantially planar, the bottom surface of said first sheet being substantially planar and having said first aperture open downwardly therethrough, the said sheets cooperatively defining an interlocked stack having apertured substantially planar top and bottom surfaces, said planar bottom surface of the stack permitting positive facial support of the stack on a flat underlying support during stacking manufacture thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The laminated stack manufacture of claim 1 wherein each sheet projection includes a distal offset portion subjacent the aperture thereof and extending parallel to the flatwise extent of the sheet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
The laminated stack manufacture of claim 1 wherein each sheet projection includes a distal offset portion subjacent the aperture thereof and extending parallel to the flatwise extent of the sheet and a connecting portion angled from the sheet to said distal offset portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
The laminated stack manufacture of claim 1 wherein each sheet projection includes a distal offset portion subjacent the aperture thereof and extending parallel to the flatwise extent of the sheet, the top surface of said distal offset portion being substantially coplanar with the bottom surface of the sheet from which it projects.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
77 words
The laminated stack manufacture of claim 1 wherein each sheet projection includes a distal offset portion subjacent the aperture thereof and extending parallel to the flatwise extent of the sheet, the top surface of said distal offset portion being substantially coplanar with the bottom surface of the sheet from which it projects and the bottom surface of said distal offset portion being substantially coplanar with the bottom surface of the subjacent sheet into which the projection extends.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
14 words
The laminated stack manufacture of claim 1 wherein each projection defines arcuate side edges.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
The laminated stack manufacture of claim 1 wherein the tip of the distal offset portion defines an arcuate end edge.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
The laminated stack manufacture of claim 1 wherein each said aperture includes a circular end portion.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
The laminated stack manufacture of claim 1 wherein each said aperture includes a circular end portion and an arcuate portion opening into said circular end portion.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
40 words
The laminated stack manufacture of claim 1 wherein each said aperture includes a circular end portion and an arcuate portion opening into said circular end portion, the end of said arcuate portion opposite the circular end portion being substantially rectilinear.
