  • Patent number: 9233454
    Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus, of a grinding stone which is manufactured by attaching abrasive grains respectively having polyhedral shapes in which mutually opposed surfaces are parallel to each other to a base member, is provided with: an abrasive grains classifying apparatus adapted to classify the abrasive grains based on sizes of the abrasive grains defined by face-to-face distances between the mutually opposed surfaces; and an attaching apparatus adapted to attach the abrasive grains classified by the abrasive grains classifying apparatus to the base member.

  • Patent number: 8875381
    Abstract: A coil strand is wound on an insulator to produce a divided core member, and then the divided core member is placed on a table. While the table rotates about its axis, ends of the coil strands are inserted into lead end holding grooves, which are defined in a surface of the insulator on an outer circumferential edge of a stator and which extend along a circumferential direction of the stator.

  • Patent number: 8847457
    Abstract: A rotary electric machine includes a plurality of lead end holding grooves defined in insulators at an outer circumferential surface of a stator core, for guiding respective ends of coil leads therein. The lead end holding grooves are defined by ledges of the insulators. The ledges have respective lands which are convex in widthwise directions of the lead end holding groove.

  • Patent number: 8690644
    Abstract: An arm 21 has a shape for grasping a part in a circumferential direction of a tool holder 7. The arm 21 is connected to the tool holder 7 with a bolt 23 inserted into a fixing hole 22 provided in a base side portion of the arm 21. A tapped hole 25 used for exchangeably attaching a cutting tool 24 is formed in a tip side portion of the arm 21. A groove part 26 extending in parallel to an axis of the tool holder 7 is formed in a position close to the base portion of the arm 21. Owing to the groove part 26, the arm 21 works as an elastic hinge when an external force is applied, so as to increase or decrease a radial dimension of the cutting tool 24 while keeping its parallelism to the axis of the tool.

  • Patent number: 8458883
    Abstract: A tool for grinding an inner diameter even when holders having grindstones are axially connected. A gap enclosed by the inner peripheral surface of a divided tool holder, a draw bar and O-rings is formed in a state in which the draw bar is inserted into a tool holder in which a plurality of divided tool holders are connected in series. A filler is filled into the gap to fix a support bush to the divided tool holder. An adjustment screw of each arm held circumferentially away from each other on the divided tool holder is turned to adjust a distance between a pin and the arm, and the radial projecting amount of each of grindstones is adjusted. The projecting amount is adjusted such that the plurality of grindstones rotate along the same rotational trajectory and the center of the rotational trajectory corresponds to the axis of the draw bar.
