Summary:This application is based on and incorporates herein by reference Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-347598 filed on Nov. 13, 2001. A wire winding apparatus includes a wire nozzle unit, which is rotatable about a rotational axis of the wire nozzle unit, which is generally perpendicular to the axis of an armature core. The wire nozzle unit includes a plurality of wire nozzles, each of which receives and guides a corresponding one of the wires along each of two slots, which are arranged on opposite sides, respectively, of each of a plurality of salient poles of the armature core, to wind the wires around each salient pole. The wire winding apparatus further includes a nozzle rotating device, which rotates the wire nozzle unit about the rotational axis of the wire nozzle unit. The rotating device rotates the wire nozzle unit 180 degrees when the wire nozzle unit is moved from one of the two slots to the other of the two slots.
