FUSING METHOD FOR ARMATURE OF FLAT MOTOR AND CONNECTING WIRE BENDING APPARATUS

PURPOSE:To effectively prevent the engagement of a connecting wire with an upper end face of a commutator at the time of inserting the commutator by previously inserting a shaping shaft from below toward upward to a center before the commutator is inserted into the center of a coil element, and bending the wire toward upward. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of coil elements 31 formed by continuing one coil wire are disposed on a conveying jig 35 in a state that a connecting wire 33 is radially stood at a central side. Thereafter, the elements 31 are pressed by a coil retaining member 37 so as not to be moved upward. A shaping shaft 41 is inserted from below toward upward from a through hole 39 formed at a center of the jig 35 to a center of the element 31, and the wire 33 is bent upward. Thus, the engagement of the wire 33 with the upper end face of the commutator can be effectively prevented.
