## Abstract

An insulating holder is comprised of a bobbin portion and bus bar supporting portions, and the bus bar supporting portions have bus bar walls which electrically separate each of bus bars, and step portions are formed, in a lamination direction of the bus bars, at the bus bar walls, and gap portions are formed, between the bus bars and the bus bar walls, in a longitudinal direction of the bus bars and in a lamination direction of cores, at the step portion, and an insulating cap, which complements the gap portions from the outside and maintains the bus bars, is included, in a state where the bus bars are installed to the bus bar walls.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An armature of an electric motor, comprising:
armature cores which are arranged in parallel with a constant distance;
an insulating holder by which each of coils, which is wound around the armature cores, is insulated and maintained;
a plurality of bus bars which are laminated and arranged at the outside of the armature cores, and are electrically connected to terminals of each of the coils which is wound around the armature cores; wherein
the insulating holder is composed of a bobbin portion which functions as a winding frame of the coils, and bus bar supporting portions by which portions between each of the bus bars are insulated and supported, and
the bus bar supporting portions include bus bar walls which intervene between each of the bus bars, and electrically separate each of the bus bars, and
step portions are formed, in a lamination direction of the bus bars, at the bus bar walls, and
gap portions are formed, between the bus bars and the bus bar walls, in a longitudinal direction of the bus bars and in a lamination direction of the cores, at the step portions, and
an insulating cap, which complements the gap portions from the outside and maintains the bus bars, is included, in a state where the bus bars are installed to the bus bar walls.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

An armature of an electric motor according to claim 1, wherein the insulating cap includes insulating walls, which are fitted to the gap portions of the bus bar walls, and the bus bars are fixed by using the insulating walls and the bus bar walls.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

An armature of an electric motor according to claim 1, wherein outer circumferences of the bus bars are respectively surrounded by using the bus bar walls of the insulating holder and the insulating cap.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

An armature of an electric motor according to claim 2, wherein outer circumferences of the bus bars are respectively surrounded by using the bus bar walls of the insulating holder and the insulating cap.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

An armature of an electric motor according to claim 1, wherein the insulating cap is divided in a longitudinal direction of the bus bars, and divided surfaces are formed at locations at which the bus bar walls of the insulating holder are provided.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

An armature of an electric motor according to claim 1, wherein bus bar holes, by which the bus bars and the coils are connected, are provided at the insulating cap.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

An armature of an electric motor according to claim 6, wherein a protruding portion is provided between a plurality of the bus bar holes which are provided at the insulating cap.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

An armature of an electric motor according to claim 1, wherein the insulating cap is formed in annular shape, and insulating walls are provided, with an equal distance, on the insulating cap.
