Lap-wound stator with adjustable commutating angle

A reversing motor assembly, comprising:

• a pair of terminals for connecting a power supply;
• a commutated motor, said motor further comprising,
• a rotor,
• commutating means for distributing power from said power supply to said rotor, said commutating means further comprising a first contactor and a second contactor, said first contactor and second contactor maintaining electrical contact with said rotor,
• a stator having a plurality of stator teeth projecting inward form around a cylindrical periphery, said stator teeth being sequentially arranged in sets around said periphery, wherein each set comprises a main stator tooth and a pair of flanking auxiliary stator teeth,
• a plurality of stator winding connected in series between said power terminals, said stator windings including a main winding wound around a collective set of said stator teeth, and a plurality of auxiliary windings each wound around a collective subset of said stator teeth for creating a composite magnetic field having a pole center which may be adjusted by varying a proportional magnitude of excitation current in said main and auxiliary windings, said plurality of auxiliary windings including a first auxiliary winding wound around said main stator tooth and one of said auxiliary stator teeth for adjusting said composite pole in one direction, and a second auxiliary winding wound around said main stator tooth and another of said auxiliary stator teeth for adjusting said composite pole in another direction;
• and
• a double-pole double-throw reversing switch having a first pair of throw contacts parallely connected to said main winding and a first pole connected to said first contactor, and a second pair of throw contacts parallely connected across said set of windings and a second pole connected to said second contactor,
• wherein said reversing switch may be placed in one of a first and a second position, said first position creating a composite magnetic pole having a pole center for driving said rotor in a clockwise direction, and said second position creating a composite magnetic pole having a pole center for driving said rotor in a counter-clockwise direction.
