Abstract:
Apparatus for simplifying the spatial configuration of winding guides used in a winder to align and deposit wire from a flyer arm in slots of an armature comprising:a support member for maintaining the position of the armature during winding; a guide structure for maintaining said wire's alignment, wherein said guide structure comprises a leading surface for maintaining alignment of said wire with said slots; and a flyer arm assembly wherein said flyer arm assembly's extreme wire delivery point is horizontally and vertically displaced from said armature's center, wherein said flyer arm assembly is held firmly relative to said winder by a winder assembly, but is also readily removable and replaceable from said winder assembly by a releasable locking apparatus, wherein removing and replacing of said flyer arm assembly from said winder assembly is done to substitute said flyer arm assembly with another flyer arm assembly having horizontal and vertical displacement values corresponding to a particular armature, wherein said values for said horizontal and vertical displacements position said another flyer arm assembly's extreme wire delivery point in close proximity to said slots of said armature being wound.
