Gerald Zimmerer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7825553
    Abstract: A terminal board, which is for a housing-less asynchronous motor, includes an electrically insulating base extending in a longitudinal direction and in a traverse direction. A device fastens the base to an electrical machine and another device enables a plurality of terminals to be inserted into the base. The base has a bearing surface that curves concavely in the transverse direction and that is essentially straight in the longitudinal direction. The terminal board can be attached to an asynchronous motor that has a cylindrical stator extending in the longitudinal direction. The motor also has a movably positioned rotor that is located inside of the stator and that is connected to the rotor. The terminal board is introduced in the longitudinal direction of the stator where a number of terminals are inserted. By using the terminal board, a housing-less electrically powered machine can be constructed as small as possible.
