Abstract: A motor and pump assembly having an intermediate mounting bracket adapted to conveniently join and support the separate motor housing and pump housing. The bracket is configured to accommodate the mounting of either a partial motor or a full motor design to the pump assembly. In the partial motor assembly, the mounting bracket is combined with a bearing housing to form the end wall of the motor housing and the support bearings for the motor shaft which extends therethrough into the pump assembly. Conversely, the bracket may be used to connect the pump to a full motor having an end wall structure. Thus, the mounting bracket may be combined with a partial motor during initial assembly and subsequently connect to a full motor upon failure of the partial motor.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming coils of magnet wire and for inserting that magnet wire along the insulating wedges into the core of a stator comprises a transfer tool of circumferentially disposed wedge guides which receives wedges at a wedging station, is wound with coils of magnet wire by a push winding technique at a winding station, and then moves to an insertion station wherein the windings and wedges are pushed into a stator core. The wedge guides are designed to hold the wedges during the winding operation and also to receive the coils being formed as wire is pushed out of a nozzle rotating over the transfer tool. The coils fall by gravity between predetermined pairs of wedge guides. Finger elements are then inserted upwardly through the bore of the transfer tool. An empty stator core is placed on the finger elements, and the formed coils and wedges are pushed from the transfer tool into the stator core.
