Patent ID: 7257881

Claim:
A method for assembling a first electrical winding structure and a second electrical winding structure in an installed orientation about a central member; said central member being generally symmetrical about an axis; each of said first winding structure and said second winding structure being configured in a strip having a thickness, having a width greater than said thickness and having a length greater than said width; said first winding structure and said second winding structure being arranged in a plurality of alternating strata with said widths of said first winding structure and said second winding structure generally parallel with said axis in said installed orientation; the method comprising the steps of: (a) winding said first winding structure in a winding path about said central member until a first stratum of said plurality of strata is established in said installed orientation; (b) arranging said first winding structure to clear said winding path; (c) winding said second winding structure in said winding path about said central member until a next stratum of said plurality of strata is established in said installed orientation; (d) interleaving said first winding structure and said second winding structure to establish said plurality of strata; said interleaving comprising the steps of: (1) rearranging a next-to-be-wound said winding structure of said first winding structure and said second winding structure to realign said next-to-be-wound winding structure with said winding path; (2) winding said next-to-be-wound winding structure in said winding path about said central member until a next stratum of said plurality of strata is established in said installed orientation; (3) arranging said next-to-be-wound winding structure to clear said winding path; and (4) repeating steps (d)(1) through (d)(3) until said interleaving is complete.
