Patent ID: 7921545

Claim:
A method for setting a plurality of stator coils on an inserting blade before mounting the stator coils on a stator core using the inserting blade such that the stator coils overlap one another to form a spiral shape, the method comprising: retaining a first section and a second section of each stator coil by a first member such that the stator coils are arranged about the axis at equal intervals to extend in a radial pattern; moving the second section of each stator coil from the first member to the second member so as to retain the stator coils by the first member and the second member; rotating the first member or the second member about the axis to generate a phase difference between the first section and the second section of each stator coil; and setting the stator coils on the inserting blade while maintaining the phase difference between the first section and the second section.
