Dynamoelectric machine coil inserting apparatus

摘要

In short stroke dynamoelectric machine coil and wedge inserting apparatus wherein a plurality of elongated blade elements are detachably retained upon respective wedge guide members for adjustment of the blade elements to accommodate stator core members of different lengths, a longitudinally extending surface portion of each blade element adapted for abutting engagement with a respective wedge guide member has at least one opening formed therein extending obliquely at a predetermined angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the blade element to frictionally receive one end of a retaining pin. Each wedge guide member is provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned apertures extending obliquely at the same predetermined angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the wedge guide member to selectively receive with a slip fit the end of a retaining pin projecting from the obliquely extending opening of a respective blade element. The retaining pin extending obliquely through the aligned opening and aperture respectively of a blade element and its associated wedge guide member effectively prevents the accidental separation of the blade element from the wedge guide member.
