Bending-forming jig

A bending-forming jig configured to bend and form a protruding portion of a leg portion of a U-shaped conductor in a circumferential direction, the U-shaped conductor inserted in slots of a stator core, the protruding portion protruding from an axial end surface of the stator core, the bending-forming jig comprising:

• an annular ring portion;
• and
• a claw portion that protrudes in the axial direction from an axial end surface of the ring portion, wherein
• the claw portion comprises
• a first abutting surface directed in the circumferential direction that rises in the axial direction from the axial end surface of the ring portion and is configured to abut against a tip portion of the protruding portion from the circumferential direction when the protruding portion is bent and formed, and
• a projecting portion that projects, at a tip end of the claw portion, in the circumferential direction from the first abutting surface and is configured to abut against the tip portion of the protruding portion from the axial direction toward the axial end surface of the ring portion when the protruding portion is bent and formed.
