Abstract:
1. Apparatus for winding wire coils in slots located adjacent to poles of a core member of a dynamo electric machine component, comprising: a wire delivery member, for delivering wire to wind the wire coils by relative movement of the wire delivery member with respect to the core member along a trajectory partially located within the interior of the core member; a wire guide supported in predetermined positions in relation to the core for aligning the wire with the poles during winding; support means for supporting the wire guide, wherein said support means have a support portion occupying a support position during the relative movement of the wire delivery member to wind the wire coils; means for relatively moving an individual support portion in alignment with adjacent poles during winding of a coil, in synchronism with the movement of the wire delivery member, for supporting the wire guide as a function of the position of the wire delivery member; means for relatively moving the individual support portion for supporting the wire guide in successive alignments with differing radial positions of the pole where the wire needs to be drawn during winding of a coil; and means for relatively moving the wire delivery member in successive alignments with the differing radial positions of the pole where the wire needs to be drawn during winding of a coil.
