Title: Coil winding apparatus and methods of winding coils
IPC: H02K15/04
Filed: 1973-02-05
Abstract: 1421626 Coil winding apparatus; winding cores MECBAR SpA 5 Feb 1973 [17 May 1972] 5599/73 Headings B3A and B3E Coil winding apparatus comprises a winding head rotatable about a first axis X-X and movable along the axis, a support device 6 rotatable about a second axis Y-Y inclined to the axis X-X, arrays of first and second parallel, elongate supports 8, 10, mounted on the support device, the supports being arranged in groups such that the ends of the first and second support in each group lie in a plane perpendicular to the axis X-X, whereby on rotation of the winding head in one axial position and about the first axis, a coil will be wound about one group of first and second supports, the turns of which, under the effect of winding tension, come to lie in planes perpendicular to the second axis Y-Y. Coils S 1 -S 4 , Fig. 2, are wound successively and the winding head is advanced to planes A 1 -A 4  prior to winding each coil. When the coils of a first group of coils have been wound, a plate 14 is rotated to align a further support device with the winding head, Figs. 8, 9 (not shown), and the direction of the winding head rotation is reversed for the coils of a second group. As the plate 14 rotates, a stud 17 moves down a cam 18 and a spring biased stud 16 pivots the second supports 10 to release the tension on the wound coils, thereby facilitating their removal from the winding apparatus. The support device may include insertion equipment (22), (22<SP>1</SP>), Figs. 6, 9 (not shown), on to which a stator is placed for insertion of the coils. The first supports may comprise profiled flanges (21), Fig. 5 (not shown), and the second supports may also be similarly shaped, Fig. 3 (not shown).

Abstract: 1333354 Heat-treating turbine components UNITED AIRCRAFT CORP 7 Feb 1972 [10 May 1971] 5647/72 Headings C7A and C7N A wrought integral gas turbine blade-disc component is differentially solution treated in two stages in one of which the blade region only is heated to a relatively high temperature to produce a coarse-grained creep-resistant structure while in the other the whole component is heated to a lower temperature to produce in the disc a finegrained fatigue-resistant structure; preferably the local treatment may precede the general but the order may be reversed. The component is then given conventional stabilization and precipitation heat-treatments. As exemplified an alloy containing in percentage by weight C 0À03-0À09 Cr 14-16 Co 16-18 Mo 4À5-5À5 Ti 3À35-3À65 Al 3À85-4À15 B 0À02-0À03 Ni balance is treated by heating the blade region to the 1163- 1204C. followed by air cooling or faster, after which the whole component is held at 1107C. for 4 hours and preferably quenched into a salt bath at 316C. followed by air cooling. It is then given a stabilization treatment at 871C for 8 hours, cooled at not less than air cooling rate, heated to 982C. for 4 hours and again cooled at least as rapidly as air cooling. Finally it is precipitation hardened at 649C. for 24 hours and at 760C. for 8 hours, the two stages being separated and followed by air cooling. After local solution treatment the component may be aluminized, diffusion being brought about during subsequent treatments. In a second example an alloy containing C 0À03-0À1 Cr 18-21 Co 12-15 Mo 3À5-5 Ti 2À75-3À25 Al 1À2-1À6 Zr 0À05-0À12 B 0À003-0À07 Ni balance was heated in the blade region only to 1097À5C., and cooled in air or faster, followed by heating the whole component to 1024C. for 4 hours and cooling There follows stabilization at 843C. for 4 hours, cooling and precipitation hardening at 760C. for 16 hours and cooling. Localised heat-treatment may be effected by the ring inductor 4 of Fig.2, or the U-form type <SP>14</SP> of Fig.4.
