Abstract
An assembled commutator has a thermoplastics base supporting segments. A ring 15 of high temperature, non-softening material, such as phenolic, fits on a shelf on the base beneath tangs which are for hot connection, particularly forging, to an armature wire. The ring is held in place by fingers on the tangs.
Claims4
An assembled commutator comprising a cylindrical thermoplastic base having a first end and a second end, recesses formed in the first end, the base being formed with an integral outwardly projecting peripheral collar surrounding the base adjacent the second end, the base further having a supporting part extending between the first end and the collar, and the collar being formed with an annular shelf facing the second end of the base;
- an annular ring of high temperature non-softening material positioned on the shelf, the collar and the ring having adjacent peripheral surfaces;
- and a plurality of elongate commutator segments mounted on and around the base against the supporting part, each segment having a first finger at one end of the segment which fits into a respective one of the recesses and a tang and a second finger at an opposite end of the segment, the tang fitting over the peripheral surfaces of the collar and the ring, and the second finger extending over and against a rear surface of the ring which faces the second end of the base to hold the ring in position and prevent axial movement of the segment along the base towards the second end.
