*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18176537 Titled 'CLAMPING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING STATOR'

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a clamping device used in laser welding. This device is used to join two stripped portions of a material, where the coating is absent from the ends. The device consists of two shafts, with one shaft having a claw that extends in a radial direction. The first and second shafts are moved towards a stator core, sandwiching the two ends between them. The first shaft is pressed against a curved portion, while the second shaft is pressed against another curved portion. The clamping action is achieved by rotating the second shaft until the claw comes into contact with the second end.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A clamping device performs a clamping action when performing laser welding to join a first stripped portion, where a coating is absent from a first end, and a second stripped portion, where a coating is absent from a second end. A second claw extends in a radial direction of a second shaft. In a state in which a first shaft and the second shaft are moved toward a stator core such that the first end and the second end are sandwiched between the first shaft and the second shaft, and the first shaft is pressed against a second curved portion and the second shaft is pressed against a first curved portion, the clamping device performs the clamping action by rotating the second shaft about a center axis of the second shaft until the second claw comes into contact with the second end.
