Patent ID: 7472468

Claim:
A method of making a wound field for a brushless direct current motor, direct current generator, alternating current motor or alternating current generator, said method comprising the steps of: providing a base mold having an engagement face and at least one movable end turn form on the engagement face; winding a conductive material about the at least one movable end turn form to create one loop of conductive material; removing the at least one movable end turn form from the base mold; providing a press mold having an application face; forming the one loop of conductive material between the application face of the press mold and the engagement face of the base mold to provide a formed coil of conductive material; removing the formed coil from the engagement face of the base mold; sliding the formed coil over an insertion instrument; forcing the insertion instrument and the formed coil into a cylindrically-shaped stator core; removing the insertion instrument from the stator core; and installing the stator core into one of a brushless direct current motor, direct current generator, alternating current motor or alternating current generator.
