Abstract
Abstract An improved vehicle generator designed so as to eliminate the need for any insulating tubes around the lead wires extending from a stator coil, thus facilitating the mechanization the assembly operations thereof. The generator has a windscreen of insulating material mounted on a rectifier which is disposed within the rear bracket of a generator housing, the windscreen being integrally formed with an insulating wall extending along the inner surface of the rear bracket so as to insulate the lead wires from the rear bracket.
