A generator stator core has a plurality of axially extending radial slots arranged about the periphery thereof with windings in each of the radial slots. At least one adjustable wedge and slide assembly is located in each of the slots, arranged to restrain the windings, the assembly including a wedge component and a slide component which interface along respective sloped surfaces formed on respective sides of each of the wedge component and the slide component. The slide component is formed with...

Removable jack lifting means for use with a heavy body, such as a camper, and detachably carried on a motor vehicle. A plate with at least one notched vertical web is secured to each corner of the body, manually actuated hydraulic jack having telescoping tubular sections is removably affixed to each such plate by bracket members encircling the outer tubular section and carrying transverse studlike elements which are insertable in the web notches. The tubular sections of each jack may be extended...

In order to provide a simple and inexpensive laying aid for floor covering elements, in particular ready-made parquet flooring, laminated or floor panels, the laying aid is in the form of a belt tensioning device with a belt and have a shaped part on both sides, each shaped part having a receiving means for the belt, and each shaped part having an arm with a projection which can be fixed at a groove or a tongue of the floor covering elements by engaging in it and around it, respectively. When th...

A stator wedge (30) to position in a coil slot (40) for retaining coils (40) of a stator of a power generator and methods of forming the wedge (30) are provided. The stator wedge (30) preferably includes an elongate, non-conductive, and substantially rigid body member (36). The body member (36) preferably includes a relatively flat bottom surface (35) and a relatively flat top surface (33). The top surface (33) preferably has less surface area than the bottom surface (35). The body member (36) a...

A generator stator includes a magnetic core having a plurality of axially extending radial slots arranged about the periphery thereof with stator windings in each radial slot. At least one adjustable assembly is located in an axially outermost end of each radial slot, arranged to apply radial force to the windings in the radial slot, the adjustable assembly including mating wedge and slide components which interface along stepped matching surfaces which lie at an acute angle to a center axis of ...

The stator winding bars (12) e.g. of an alternator are fixed to the magnetic circuit (2) by means of teeth (14, 16) fixed on the cylindrical inner surface (44) of said circuit and protruding inwardly therefrom. Successive teeth going circumferentially round the cylindrical surface are alternately long teeth (14) and short teeth (16). The bars are tangentially wedged by wedges (28) driven radially between the bars and the side walls of the short teeth (16). The bars are held radially by plates (3...

Apparatus for loading and unloading a camper onto and off of the bed of a traction vehicle which includes an elongated link member; first and second attaching means for attaching the link to the bottom of the camper proximate the camper's front end and proximate its rear end; propelling means coacting with the link for propelling a predetermined segment of the link to a first position proximate the camper's front end and to a second position proximate the camper's rear end; and connecting means ...

This device is used in pairs to support, raise and lower carpets. The devices include a slideable frame which is moveable vertically by a manually operated wench and the base portion of the device carries casters so that the devices may be easily moved about.

Lifting device, operable by one operator, for lifting camper units on and off trucks. Hydraulic equalizer supplies equal volume flows of fluid to hydraulic jacks of jacking devices which carry camper unit. Jacks are straddled by telescoping guides to reduce bending moments on jacks. Jacking devices are canted inwards from bases of jacking devices, increasing stability of camper unit when carried on jacking devices. Equalizer ensures equal extension of jacks, reducing tendency of camper unit to t...

An arrangement for storing bulky equipment of the type installed and used on a dump truck and removed from the truck during nonuse periods consists of a support pivotally connected at the rear of the equipment and adapted to rest on the ground and a pair of front legs having transverse arms which fit in openings at the front of the equipment. The arms are inserted in the openings after the truck has raised the front of the equipment to an elevated position so that when the truck body is subseque...
