  • Publication number: 20230223809
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods are provided for a segmented stator comprising over-molded windings and an incorporated bus bar for a multi-phase electric motor. The segmented stator comprises a plurality of stator segments that are arranged into a circular configuration. Each stator segment comprises a divided core that includes a core back portion and a core tooth portion. An insulator is disposed on at least the core tooth portion, and a winding of magnet wire is disposed on the insulator. An over-molded encapsulation is applied to fixate the divided core and the winding. A bus bar is incorporated into the stator segments and placed into electrical communication with the windings. The bus bar includes annular conductors that may be over-molded such that the bus bar is encapsulated within the segmented stator. Connectors coupled with the bus bar are configured for passing an electric current to the stator segments.

  • Publication number: 20150314636
    Abstract: The present disclosure contemplates a book of templates that are die-cut stamped traceable designs that allow users to draw an exact outline of a various repetitive designs such as snowflakes. In one embodiment the present disclosure contemplates an apparatus with traceable templates produced using a die-cutting manufacturing process. In this embodiment the apparatus may also include a final product medium made of paper. In this embodiment the apparatus may yield an ultimate design that is a repetitive design such as a snowflake. The die-cut traceable templates provide a fractional outline of ultimate designs where the fraction of the design is repeated in a circular fashion to yield the ultimate design. In another embodiment a series of die-cut traceable templates may be included in a book where each die-cut traceable template may have a different repetitive design that may be traced on to a final product medium.

  • Publication number: 20090200137
    Abstract: A pallet stacking assembly line having at least two pick-and-place robots are used. The first robot has a relatively low position. The second robot is in an elevated position. A pallet dispenser dispenses a first pallet onto a pallet conveyor The pallet conveyor moves the first pallet to a first build position in front of the first robot. The first robot picks products from a first pick position and stacks them on the first pallet. Once the stack of products on the first pallet reach approximately half the finished stack height, the pallet conveyor carries the first pallet to a second build position in front of the second robot. At the same time, the pallet dispenser dispenses a second pallet which is carried to the first build position. The second robot picks products from a second pick position and places them on the upper portion of the stack on the first pallet to complete the stack. Meanwhile, the first robot is picking and placing products on the lower portion of the second pallet.

  • Patent number: 7478463
    Abstract: A process for hydro-entangling a layer of fibers into a web includes the steps of conveying a web from a supply to lie against a traveling hydro-entangling fabric. A layer of fibers is deposited onto a traveling forming fabric, the forming fabric supporting the fiber layer from below. The forming fabric and the hydro-entangling fabric converge at a combining location where the forming fabric and hydro-entangling fabric orient and travel adjacent each other such that the fiber layer and web are sandwiched between the forming fabric and the hydro-entangling fabric with the fiber layer supported from below by the hydro-entangling fabric and web. The forming fabric is separated from the fiber layer after the web and overlying fiber layer are supported from below by the hydro-entangling fabric and the hydro-entangling fabric is conveyed through a hydro-entangling station to hydro-entangle the fibers into the web.

  • Publication number: 20080017673
    Abstract: A mechanism to provide a convenient means for releasing the contents of an aerosol can while reducing finger-fatigue and preventing the contents from adhering to the finger tip. This invention is comprised of a base that is easily mounted to the ring of an aerosol can with a lever that is hinged from the base and extends down along the side of the aerosol can. A single hand can grasp the can and depress the lever which will hinge down and push the nozzle and thereby release the contents.
