Abstract: A conductor retention member for a stator core includes a body formed from a non-electrically conductive material. The body includes a radial outwardly facing edge and a radial inwardly facing edge. A plurality of openings extends between the radial inwardly facing edge and the radial outwardly facing edge formed in the body. The body is configured and disposed to be arranged at an axial end of the stator core with the plurality of openings registering with corresponding ones of a plurality of stator slots.

Abstract: A stator assembly includes a first conductor having a first leg portion, and second leg portion. Each of the first and second leg portions includes corresponding first and second free end portions. The first free end portion includes first and second surface portions and the second free end portion includes first and second surface segments. A second conductor includes a first leg section, and a second leg section including corresponding first and second free end sections. The first free end section includes first and second surface zones and the second free end section including first and second surface sectors. The second free end portion and the first free end section are twisted creating a cross-over region causing the first surface portion to abut the second surface zone. The second free end portion is joined to the first free end section through a bond that exists at the cross-over region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a disc holder for storing a plurality of discs comprising: a base; a spindle extending vertically from the base, where the spindle enables the stacking of the plurality of discs; a top cover, where the top cover locks to the base by using two sliding clasps, where one clasp is one side of the top cover and the other clasp is on the opposite side. The base may include three prongs extending vertically from three respective sides of the base in order to keep discs aligned. The enclosure may further include a receptacle for the top of the spindle and a swivel handle for carrying the unit. The plurality of discs may include compact discs and DVDs or a combination of both.
