Retaining apparatus, retaining method and insert method of wave winding coil

Abstract:

A wave winding coil (9) has a first linear part (11a), second linear part (11b), arm part (12) and turn part (13). A retaining apparatus (1) retains the first linear part (11a) along the axis line direction between middle pins (3b, 3b) of a middle body part (3), and retains the second linear part (11b) between upper pins (2b, 2b), middle pins (3b, 3b), and lower pins (4b, 4b), in a state where sections of both ends of the second linear part (11b) in the axis line direction deviate to each other in circumferential opposite sides of the wave winding coil (9) to the axis line direction of the wave winding coil (9) and in a state where a bent angle .theta.b' between the second linear part (11b) and the connecting part is smaller than a bent angle .theta.a' between the first linear part (11a) and the connecting part.
