Abstract
Abstract A magneto rotor assembly is disclosed in which a magnet is clamped in position between a pair of pole pieces within a cavity in a rotor. The pole pieces are provided with at least one tapered surface which engages a or the corresponding tapered surface(s) of the rotor cavity to prevent movement of the pole pieces and magnet. A fastener is also provided to hold each pole piece in engagement with the rotor cavity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A magneto rotor assembly in which a magnet is maintained in position between a pair of pole pieces within a cavity in said rotor, said pole pieces are provided with two tapered surfaces and said cavity is provided with two corresponding tapered surfaces, one of said tapered surfaces extending in a radial direction to hold said pole pieces against outward movement away from said magnet and the other of said tapered surfaces holding said pole pieces against radial movement each said pole piece and said rotor cavity tapered surfaces being mutually engagable to clamp said pole pieces against said magnet within said rotor wherein a fastener holds each pole piece in engagement with said rotor said two tapered surfaces having normals which are substantially mutually perpendicular and lie approximately in a plane and which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said fastener.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
144 words
A magneto rotor assembly in which a magnet is maintained in position between a pair of pole pieces within a cavity in said rotor, said pole pieces are provided with two tapered surfaces and said cavity is provided with two corresponding tapered surfaces, one of said tapered surfaces extending in a radial direction to hold said pole pieces against outward movement away from said magnet and the other of said tapered surfaces holding said pole pieces against radial movement each said pole piece and said rotor cavity tapered surfaces being mutually engagable to clamp said pole pieces against said magnet within said rotor wherein a fastener holds each pole piece in engagement with said rotor said two tapered surfaces having normals which are substantially mutually perpendicular and lie approximately in a plane and which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said fastener.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A magneto rotor assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein each said pole comprises a first portion which is substantially flat and a second portion which is generally curved.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A magneto rotor assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein each of said pole pieces has a single tapered surface which is curved to form a quasi-semi-circular tapered surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A magneto rotor assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein said tapered surfaces of each of said pole pieces are tapered in two substantially opposite directions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A magneto rotor assembly as claimed in claim 4 wherein said opposite tapered surfaces are substantially equal and both said pole pieces are substantially identical.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A magneto rotor assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein said tapered surfaces have a taper of approximately 5 degrees.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
A magneto rotor assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein each said fastener has a shank passing through an aperture in the corresponding pole piece, the size of said aperture being greater than the width of said shank.
