<p>The invention provides an insulator (52) for insertion in an armature core slot (30) of a motor (10) and for preventing an electrical connection between the core (22) and wire (32) wound in the armature core slots (30). The insulator (52) includes, when it is mounted in an armature core slot (30), a first end (54) aligned with an end (24) of the core (22) that faces a commutator (20) included in the armature (14), and a second end (56) aligned with the opposite end (26) of the core (22). The insulator (52) further includes a tab (58) extending from the second end (56) of the insulator (52). The tab (58) is bent to prevent movement of the insulator (52) in the slot (30) and toward the commutator (20). The insulator (52) optionally includes another tab (66) extending from the first end (54) of the insulator (52). The optional tab (66) is bent to prevent movement of the insulator (52) in the slot (30) and away from the commutator (20). <IMAGE></p> |
