Abstract
Grooves are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on an outer peripheral edge of a circular block, and inner rods are housed in these grooves and arranged to be movable radially along radial directions. The outer rods are provided to be movable radially along radial directions, and respectively face the inner rods. Respective one slot insertion portions of coil segments are inserted into gaps between the inner rods and also into the holding member. The respective other slot insertion portions are inserted into gaps between the outer rods. Thereafter, the whole outer rods are rotated to rotate the coil segments around the slot insertion portions, then the holding member is lowered, and the whole outer rods are further rotated without interference between the holding member and the slot insertion portions to bring the coil segments into close contact with one another.
