Patent ID: 7923891

Claim:
A stator for an electric rotating machine, comprising: a plurality of iron core fastening members that are provided on the outer circumferential surface of a stator iron core in such a way as to be spaced a predetermined distance apart from one another in a circumferential direction of the stator and fasten the stator iron core in an axis direction of the stator; a plurality of holding rings that are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the stator iron core in such a way as to be spaced a predetermine distance apart from one another in the axis direction and hold the stator iron core as if to press the stator iron core toward a center portion thereof by the intermediary of the iron core fastening members; a plurality of ring-shaped inner frame members that are protrusively provided on the inner surface of a frame that encloses the stator iron core, in such a way as to be spaced a predetermined distance apart from one another in the axis direction; and a plurality of elastic supporting members that are each fixed to the inner circumferential surfaces of the inner frame members that are adjacent to one another, and that are each fixed to the outer circumferential surfaces of the holding rings at the middle in the axis direction, or that are each fixed to the outer circumferential surfaces of the holding rings that are adjacent to each other, and that are each fixed to the inner circumferential surfaces of the inner frame members at the middle in the axis direction.
