Further, in this case, by moving horizontally after insert This insertion is accomplished by inserting the extraction ing the extraction part 149 itself in the diameter directed part 140 itself into the perforation 133a and the engagement 45 hold 148b without turning said plate 137, the hook part 150 pin 142 into perforation 133a of said removal perforations can be positioned behind the rotor B6, therefore as described 133. above the removal of rotor B6 can be carried out. Next, after insertion, each removal part 14 perse is rotated Furthermore, without being restricted to the hooks 147 at for example 90 degrees in the B direction of the arrow at and 150 provided at the ends of said extraction parts 146, Said perforation 13. AS a result, each engagement pin 14 50 and 149 and by using all other protuberance instead, it goes reaches the perforation 133a area behind the rotor B6, and without saying that the extraction of the rotor B6 can be when said screw part 138 is screwed into the plate 137 under carried out as described above.

Such condition, the engagement pin 142 will come in contact We claim:

with the rear Surface of the rotor B6 in the perforation 143a 1. A magneto electric generator rotor comprising: aca.

55 a core made of magnetic materials,

Also, with the screwing in of this screw part 138, after the the core including a pair of first magnetic poles formed tip hits the end surface of said crankshaft 135, the plate 137 integrally with the core, the magnetic poles being will move in the opposite direction (midright side in FIG. Spaced from one another;

37) to the crankshaft 135. a magnet mounted on Said core between the pair of first For this reason, the engagement pin 142 at the end of Said 60 magnetic poles, and extraction part 140 that is blocked on the plate 137 is turned a Second magnetic pole that is formed of a separate piece in the extraction direction (mid-right side of FIG. 37) from of magnetic material attached to the core So as to hold the rear side of the rotor B6, and this rotor B6 is subject to the magnet on the core, wherein non-magnetic mem a strong pulling torque and is Smoothly removed from the bers are provided between said Second magnetic pole crankshaft 135. 65 and Said core.
