Abstract: In a generator in which a stator is fixed to a housing which includes a first bracket having a bearing portion for pivotally supporting one end portion of a rotary shaft, and a second bracket covering a cooling fan that rotates with the rotary shaft, and a rotor surrounded by the stator is fixed to the rotary shaft, the stator is fixed to the first bracket, and the first bracket is integrally provided with a tubular portion which surrounds the stator for permitting cooling air sucked in by the cooling fan to flow between the tubular portion and an outer periphery of the stator, and the second bracket is connected to the tubular portion. Accordingly, cost is reduced by connecting first and second brackets together without using long through-bolts, and efficiency of cooling the stator is enhanced by making the cooling air flow along the outer periphery of the stator.

Abstract: In a rotor for a generator in which a rotor core is fixed to a rotary shaft rotatably supported by a housing, and field coils are wound on a bobbin installed in the rotor core, so as to be disposed on opposite sides of one plane passing a center axis of the rotary shaft, parts of the bobbin corresponding to axial outer ends of the rotor core are provided with separation protrusions by each of which a corresponding one of coil end portions at opposite ends of each of the field coils in an axial direction of the rotary shaft is divided into an inner portion and an outer portion in a radial direction of the rotary shaft, and on opposite sides of each of the separation protrusions in a peripheral direction of the rotary shaft, gaps are respectively formed between the inner portion and the outer portion.
