ABSTRACT:
An annular tool for insertion of stator coils to a stator includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced pivotally mounted cuff support fingers to facilitate separation of the tool from the stator after the coils have been inserted. The tool is in the form of an annular base member having a central opening that receives a conventional insertion tool. An annular shoulder formed in the base member supports a stator about its periphery during the coil insertion process. The cuff support fingers are biased into a position of repose where they extend radially inwardly into the central opening. When the coil insertion process is completed, the fingers pivot upwardly to allow the tool to slide downwardly with respect to the insertion tool so that the tool is separated from the stator and coils. The completed stator and coils and the tool are then removed from the insertion tool.
