Patent ID: 7159296

Claim:
A stator installation jig for a coil-winding machine adapted to support a ring-shaped stator provided with a plurality of magnetic pole protuberances on an inner periphery of the stator and having a connector with a plurality of connector parts on an outer periphery wherein stator coil wires are wound onto the magnetic pole protuberances and the plurality of connector parts by means of the coil-winding machine, the stator installation jig comprising a plurality of projecting members penetrating through a single elongated gap that is formed between the connector and the outer periphery of the stator and projecting above the ring-shaped stator when the stator is supported by the stator installation jig, the plurality of projecting members forming a plurality of grooves such that the stator coil wires which are strung between the connector parts and the plurality of magnetic pole protuberances are carried over the projecting members and between the plurality of grooves thereby imparting slack to the stator coil wires while preventing the stator coil wires from crossing.
