US Patent:
4061937, Dec 6, 1977
Filed:
Feb 25, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/661076
Inventors:
Rajeshwar P. Goel - Monroeville PA
Terry L. Vota - Elizabeth PA
Thomas J. Lynch - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Corporation - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
H02K 120
US Classification:
310 65
Abstract:
A vent plate for supporting a finger having a rivet portion is disposed intermediate adjacent core laminations in a dynamoelectric machine. A plurality of finger members secured to the vent plate cooperate with the core laminations to define a ventilation duct for circulation of a cooling gas through the core. The vent plate has a plurality of slot openings arranged to receive the rivet portions of each finger. The vent plate slots are characterized by a bow-tie outline defined by intersecting planar and curved side surfaces which permits variable orientation of rivet portions through a predetermined angular range.
