Title: Satoru Ichihashi: Stator Manufacturing and Slider Inventions

Introduction

Satoru Ichihashi is an inventor based in Tochigi, Japan, whose work includes inventions related to manufacturing jigs and mechanical sliders. He is associated with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and is credited with 3 patents.

Latest Patents

One of Ichihashi’s latest inventions is a manufacturing jig for a stator. The jig attaches to a stator core while powder resin is applied to electrical conductors. Its divided hole portions cover fastening holes and nearby areas on the stator core, and are designed to be fastened to those holes. This arrangement supports the resin application process while accommodating the stator’s layered core and conductors.

Another invention is a slider designed to reduce wear on rotating bodies and an arc-shaped rail. An insertion portion passes through a slit in the rail, while rotating bodies roll along its inner and outer peripheral walls. The inner-side rotating bodies include lateral bodies and a central body, arranged at different positions along the sliding direction. A pivot member supports these bodies so they can swing in that direction.
