Patent ID: 7205691

Claim:
An alternator sub-component construction built into a vintage generator housing to form a hybrid alternator in generator housing device, the device comprising: a vintage generator housing having all internal generator parts removed, the vintage generator housing bored out to a larger internal diameter, the vintage generator having a drive end fitted with an original equipment bracket and fan belt pulley and bearing mount and a commutator end fitted with an original equipment bracket and wire terminals; an alternator sub-component built into the vintage generator housing, the alternator sub-component comprising a rotor with slip rings within a stator, a rectifier wired to the stator, a built-in voltage regulator with a brush pack mounted to the rotor alignment plate perpendicular to the rotor slip rings and wired to the rectifier and a vintage generator housing wire terminal, and new machined parts comprising a rotor shaft adaptor attached between a rotor shaft and the fan belt pulley, a stator shell secured to the stator, the stator shell bolted to the drive end bracket, a rotor alignment plate attached to the rotor and the stator shell so that the alternator sub-component built into the vintage generator so that when fully assembled it takes on the appearance of a vintage generator, while being a fully operational alternator and the device comprises a fully operational hybrid alternator fit in such a way to be of precise tolerances and concentrically assembled to allow a smooth and reliable charging performance at any RPM.
