Inventor: BECHERUCCI RAFFAELE
IPC: H02K15/00
Filed: 2000-03-09
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented that improve the efficiency of stator production by connecting stator coil leads (140, 142) to final attachment devices (124) before the coils (120, 122) are inserted into a stator core. After coil insertion, the final attachment devices are merely mounted to the stator receiving the stator core, eliminating most if not all post-coil-insertion lead identification and manipulation processes. The final attachment devices can be terminal receivers that include a plurality of wire sockets for receiving a plurality of coil leads. Coil leads are connected to final attachment devices during the coil winding stage. Such connections add little or no additional time to the winding stage.

Inventor: KITCHING WAYNE WILLIAM
IPC: E21F1/10
Filed: 2001-05-24
Abstract: A pair of door-sections make up a mine ventilation door. The door-sections are hinged to the side-walls of the passage. One of the door-sections opens upstream and the other downstream, so one is blown open, and the other blown closed, by winds passing through the passage. A linkage couples the door-sections, and harnesses the blow-open force and balances it against the blow-closed force, whereby only a small actuation force is needed to open and close the doors. The linkage ensures that the arcuate travels of the two door-sections are equal, or otherwise correspond.

Patent CA-2349982-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WISE EUGENE P
IPC: A63C11/22
Filed: 2001-06-05
Abstract: An athletic pole including a handle, a shaft, and a handle-to-shaft transition assembly, said transition assembly adapted for allowing the handle to articulate. The transition assembly includes an enlarged shaft base on the shaft, the shaft base including a handle-base-engaging surface. The transition assembly also includes an enlarged handle base on the handle. The handle base and the shaft base are biased together by a tension force into a mating, coaxially aligned position when any bending forces applied to the pole are insufficient to overcome the tension force, the handle being pivotable to an articulated position relative to the shaft upon the application of a predetermined bending force on the pole sufficient to overcome the tension force. During handle articulation, the enlarged dimensions of the handle base and the shaft base allow the periphery of the handle base to travel across and engage the handle-base-engaging surface of the shaft base such that, after an initial range of handle articulation, the bending force necessary to continue articulation or to maintain the handle in a desired articulated position is reduced relative to the bending force that would prevail if the periphery of the handle base were not allowed to travel across the handle-base-engaging surface toward the center of the shaft base.
