Appeal No. 1999-2248 Application No. 08/960,255 portion, said cylindrical portion defining a hole whose inside diameter is at least as large as an inside diameter of the center hole of said iron core, and wherein said cylindrical portion is connected to said iron core by abutting a distal end of said cylindrical portion opposite said flange portion to said first surface of said iron core and fixedly securing said distal end to said first surface by butt connection means provided at said distal end of said cylindrical portion where said cylindrical portion abuts said first surface so that an axial center of said cylindrical portion is substantially coincident with an axial center of said iron core, and so that said flange portion extends outwardly in a radial direction; and a resinous bobbin for insulating and accommodating a field coil disposed in a space formed by the first surface of said iron core and an outer peripheral surface of said plate. 7. A method of assembling a bobbin unit for a brushless alternator field coil, comprising the steps of: providing: a ring-shaped iron core having a thick wall defining a center hole, said thick wall delimited in an axial direction of said center hole by a first surface at one end and a second surface at another end opposite said first surface; a plate which has a cylindrical portion and a flange portion, said cylindrical portion defining a hole whose inside diameter is at least as large as an inside diameter of the center hole of said iron core, said flange portion extending outwardly in a radial direction from an end of said cylindrical portion; and a resinous bobbin for insulating and accommodating a field coil; mounting said bobbin to said plate; and 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
