Abstract
An edgewise winding method for forming an edgewise winding having a non-circular outer shape including a bent portion, a short side portion, and a long side portion is achieved by feeding a wire by a length corresponding to the short side portion or the long side portion and edgewise bending the wire by a bending jig while rotating an entire winding to form the bent portion. A side surface of the long side portion of the winding is supported by a first support block, a second support block, a first stopper block, a second stopper block, and others.
