Patent ID: 8505191

Claim:
Method for assembling electric power supply cables ( 10 ) on a stator ( 12 ) of an electric motor, in particular a rotary electric motor for hermetic compressors of refrigerators, which stator ( 12 ) is formed by a pack ( 14 ) of magnetic laminations and at least one winding of bundles of electrically conductive wires ( 16 ), which is housed inside cavities ( 18 ) formed in the pack ( 14 ) and has at least one head ( 20 ) projecting from the pack ( 14 ), said method comprising the steps of: electrically connecting an end ( 22 ) of each cable ( 10 ) to an end ( 23 ) of at least one respective wire ( 16 ) of the winding, inserting each pair of connected ends ( 22 , 23 ) into a respective small tube ( 28 ) of a protection and positioning element ( 24 ) made of insulating plastic and having a strip ( 26 ) from which a number of small tubes ( 28 ) at least corresponding to the number of electric power supply cables ( 10 ) transversally protrudes, clamping each of the small tubes ( 28 ) so as to fix it-each of the small tubes to the pair of ends ( 22 , 23 ) inserted inside each of the small tubes, inserting an end of said strip ( 26 ) inside a cavity ( 18 ) of the pack ( 14 ), so that said small tubes ( 28 ) are located within said head ( 20 ) of the winding, and tying said winding in the region of the head ( 20 ) so as to enclose said small tubes ( 28 ), three parallel and superimposed small tubes ( 28 ), which have an end closed along the strip ( 26 ) and the opposite end open, transversally protruding from the end of the strip ( 26 ) opposite to the end inserted into the cavity ( 18 ).
