Patent ID: 8914967

Claim:
A method for producing a distributed lap winding for polyphase systems, the method comprising: forming a chain of non-concentric, side-by-side loops ( 60 ) with a linking direction (R) from a continuous segment of wire ( 81 ); and rotating at least one loop ( 60 ) with its loop sides ( 66 ) perpendicular to the linking direction (R) in such a way that at least one loop side ( 66 ) of the at least one loop ( 60 ) is folded over so as to be arranged next to at least one loop side ( 66 ) of another loop ( 60 ) in such a way that the at least one loop side ( 66 ) of the at least one loop ( 60 ) and the at least one loop side ( 66 ) of the another loop ( 60 ) are arranged at a position which corresponds to a slot position, wherein a winding-phase start ( 78 ) and a winding-phase end ( 84 ) of the wire ( 81 ) forming the chain of loops ( 60 ) are one pole width (P) apart from one another upon rotating the at least one loop ( 60 ).
