Abstract
Abstract A direct current motor having E-shaped interpoles, each of the E-shaped interpoles comprising interconnecting members which are made of a non-magnetic material having rigidity and which are tightly and irremovably inserted in gaps between a center pole and side poles of the E-shaped interpole. In the direct current motor according to the present invention, the side poles are mechanically interconnected to the center pole, so that noises generated by the vibration of the side poles are greatly reduced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A direct current motor comprising an armature having armature windings wound thereon and rotating around the central axis thereof, a plurality of main magnetic poles disposed around said armature having field windings wound thereon, and a plurality of E-shaped interpoles disposed at the intermediate position along the outer circumference of said armature between the adjacent magnetic poles, each of said E-shaped interpoles having two side poles and a center pole to which an interpole winding is wound, characterized in that each of said E-shaped interpoles further comprises interconnecting members which are made of a material having rigidity and which are tightly and irremovably wedged in gaps between said center pole and said side poles, thereby mechanically interconnecting said side poles to said center pole to prevent vibrations of the side poles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
A direct current motor comprising an armature having armature windings wound thereon and rotating around the central axis thereof, a plurality of main magnetic poles disposed around said armature having field windings wound thereon, and a plurality of E-shaped interpoles disposed at the intermediate position along the outer circumference of said armature between the adjacent magnetic poles, each of said E-shaped interpoles having two side poles and a center pole to which an interpole winding is wound, characterized in that each of said E-shaped interpoles further comprises interconnecting members which are made of a material having rigidity and which are tightly and irremovably wedged in gaps between said center pole and said side poles, thereby mechanically interconnecting said side poles to said center pole to prevent vibrations of the side poles.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A direct current motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein each of said interconnecting members is inserted in a gap between a pole shoe portion of said center pole and a pole shoe portion of said side pole.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
80 words
A direct current motor as set forth in claim 2, wherein each of said interconnecting members is a wedge-shaped member having a wedge portion and convex portions at the narrow side thereof, and the width of said gap increases from the portion remote from said armature to the portion adjacent to said armature along the shape of said wedge-shaped member, each of said interconnecting members being supported irremovably within said gap at said convex portions and said wedge portion thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A direct current motor as set forth in claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said interconnecting members are made of non-magnetic materials.
