TITLE OF THE INVENTION A cable holding bracket for motors
APPLICANTS :
Crompton Greaves Limited, CG House, Dr Annie Besant Road, Worli, Mumbai 400 030, Maharashtra, India, an Indian Company
INVENTOR (S):
Das Mukul of Crompton Greaves Ltd, machine (M7) Division, D-5 Industrial Area, MPAKVN, Mandideep-462046, Madhya Pradesh, India; an Indian National.
PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION:
The following specification particularly describes the nature of this invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:

Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to the field of mechanical assemblies.
Particularly, this invention relates to the field of motors and wire clamping assemblies thereof.
More particularly, this invention relates to a cable holding bracket for motors.
Background of the Invention:
Motor are electro-mechanical assemblies which convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Power or current through electrical cables are fed to the motor which includes a stator, a rotor, and commutators.
A TEFC enclosure on a motor means a "Totally Enclosed, Fan Cooled" motor.
The TEFC motor has an external fan mounted opposite its drive end. This provides additional cooling by blowing air over the motor exterior. A shroud covers the fan to prevent injury. TEFC motors can be used in dirty, moist, or mildly corrosive operating conditions, since no outside air enters the motor.
This TEFC motor includes a Terminal Box for housing cables. This Terminal Box is placed on top of the motor and parallel to the shaft of the motor. A Cable Dividing Box is placed adjacent to the Terminal Box for dividing the cables and rendering them out of the motor for electrical connection purposes.

The cables extending from the Cable Dividing Box are unguided cables and may litter around the motor. In the event that the motor is mounted in said dirty, moist, or mildly corrosive operating conditions, it is important that these cables be guided.
Objects of the Invention:
An object of the invention is to guide the wire cables from a motor.
Another object of the invention is to provide a guide for wire cables of all sizes.
Yet another object of the invention is to guide cables such that they do not hinder the path for air flow on fins of the motor.
Summary of the Invention:
According to this invention, there is provided a cable holding bracket for motors comprises: i. seat shaped framework adapted to include at least a pair of legs for resting
on a dorsal surface of said motor; ii. pair of arms substantially parallel to said pair of legs for supporting cables
extending from said motor; iii. first transverse elongate element over arms adapted to support said cables; iv. second transverse elongate element placed atop said first transverse elongate
element in a manner such that it slide-ably clamps over said first transverse
elongate element; v. additional transverse elongate elements, parallel to the length of the motor,
connecting said pair of arms to said pair of legs; and

vi. support elements between said additional transverse elongate elements and said pair of legs correspondingly.
According to another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a motor with cable holding bracket, said motor comprises:
a. motor housing adapted to house motor components;
b. cable dividing box adjacent to a terminal box on an operative upper side of
said motor;
c. cable holding bracket for guiding cables from said cable dividing box, said
cable holding bracket comprising:
i. seat shaped framework adapted to include at least a pair of legs for
resting on a dorsal surface of said motor; ii. pair of arms substantially parallel to said pair of legs for supporting
cables extending from said motor; iii. first transverse elongate element over arms adapted to support said
cables; iv. second transverse elongate element placed atop said first transverse
elongate element in a manner such that it slide-ably clamps over said first
transverse elongate element; v. additional transverse elongate elements, parallel to the length of the
motor, connecting said pair of arms to said pair of legs; and vi. support elements between said additional transverse elongate elements
and said pair of legs correspondingly.
Typically, said motor includes bosses for connection of said cable bracket to said motor.

Additionally, said motor includes a set of rails on said motor for the legs to be guided over it in order to position said cable holding bracket in relation to the cable dividing box.
Brief Description of the Accompanying Drawings:
The invention will now be described in relation to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 illustrates an isometric view of the motor with a cable holding bracket attached thereupon;
Figure 2 illustrates a front view of the motor with a cable holding bracket attached thereupon; and
Figure 3 illustrates a side view of the motor with a cable holding bracket attached thereupon.
Detailed Description of the Accompanying Drawings:
According to this invention, there is provided a cable holding bracket for motors.
Figure 1 illustrates an isometric view of the motor (200) with a cable holding bracket (100) attached thereupon.
Figure 2 illustrates a front view of the motor (200) with a cable holding bracket (100) attached thereupon.

Figure 3 illustrates a side view of the motor (200) with a cable holding bracket (100) attached thereupon.
In accordance with an embodiment of this invention, there is provided a seat shaped framework adapted to include at least a pair of legs (12, 14) for resting on the dorsal surface of said motor. It further includes a pair of arms (16, 18) substantially parallel to the pair of legs (12, 14) for supporting cables (22) extending from a cable dividing box (24) adjacent to a terminal box (26) of the motor (28), There is a first transverse elongate (32) element over arms (16, 18) which support the cables (22). Due to this first transverse elongate element (32), the cables (22), neither flow in an arbitrary fashion in and around the motor (28) nor do they touch the motor (28).
In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a second transverse elongate element (34) placed atop said first transverse elongate element (32) in a manner such that it slide-ably clamps over said first transverse elongate element (32). The sliding nature of the second transverse elongate element (34) over the first transverse elongate element (32) ensures that any width of cables can be accommodated by choosing the extent to which the second transverse elongate element (32) slides over the first transverse elongate element (32).
Reference numeral 29 refers to bosses for connection of said bracket (100) to said motor (28).

The pair of arms (16, 18) is connected to the pair of legs (12, 14) by additional transverse elongate elements (35, 36) parallel to the length of the motor (28). The pair of legs (12, 14) is affixed to the dorsal surface of the motor (28).
Additionally, there may be a set of rails on the motor for the legs (12, 14) to be guided over it in order to position the bracket (100) near or far in relation to the cable dividing box.
In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, there are provided support elements (37, 39) between said additional transverse elongate elements (35, 36) and said pair of legs (12, 14) correspondingly.
While this detailed description has disclosed certain specific embodiments of the present invention for illustrative purposes, various modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art which do not constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims, and it is to be distinctly understood that the foregoing descriptive matter is to be interpreted merely as illustrative of the invention and not as a limitation.
