Application No. 08/106,009
Claim 1 (method of manufacture) and claim 17 (laminated
product) are reproduced below as illustrative of the diversity
of subject matter encompassed by the appealed claims:
1. A method for manufacture of a laminated
assembly comprising the steps of:
forming at least one notch along an edge of at
least one lamination;
positioning the laminations between at least two
chocks of a die wherein said at least one notch
frictionally engages one of said at least two
chocks to support the at last one lamination
against a press fit bonding force during a
subsequent bonding step;
press fit bonding the laminations together to form
a laminated assembly; and
removing the laminated assembly from between the
chocks.
17. A laminated assembly, comprising a plurality
of laminations connected to each other by successively
pressing laminations against a stack of previously
pressed together laminations frictionally held
temporarily between at least two chocks of a
die during manufacture, wherein each lamination
includes an edge having at least one notch means
for frictionally engaging solely during manufacture
one of said at least two chocks as the
