  • Coil holding assembly
    Patent number: 8196286
    Abstract: A coil-holding assembly for an electrical machine has coil holders made of plastic and on which coils of a stator can be wound. The coil holders are formed and pivotal on an outer edge of a planar central plastic support by integral film hinges between a winding position parallel to a plane of the support and a bent-up position perpendicular to the plane. Thus the coils can be wound on the holders in the parallel position thereof and the holders are then moved into the bent-up position for use in the electric machine.

  • Can for a synthetic pump motor
    Patent number: 6445098
    Abstract: A cap of synthetic resin material for separating the wet and dry spaces of a motor/pump assembly and receiving the rotor of the motor has, at a bottom of the cap remote from the pump, a seat formed by axially-extending centering elements and detent arms which snap onto one of the bearings of the motor shaft and form-fittingly that retains that bearing in the axial and radial directions and prevents rotation thereof.
