Patent ID: 7185414

Claim:
An apparatus having a forming device for forming a wave winding band and a device for introducing wave windings cut from this band into radially outwardly open slots of a cylinder member which is one of a rotor or stator lamination packet or a similar transfer tool, characterized in that the forming device for the wave winding band has a rotatable device which is one of two rotatable disks or one rotatable roller and two rows of forming protrusions distributed uniformly over the circumference of the rotatable device and offset from one another relative to the respectively other row and protruding past the circumference of the rotatable device, and a wire guide guided in such a way that a winding wire can be placed in undulating fashion in alternation about outer side faces of the successive forming protrusions on the circumference, the outer side faces having a shape which corresponds to a shape to be generated of winding heads of the wave windings.
