Abstract: A motor gear box has a direct current motor, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a pinion transfer gear, at least one cluster gear, an output gear, an output shaft, and a collar abutting against the output gear and surrounding the output shaft. The motor gear box also includes a frame formed integrally with the collar, a first cover to protect the motor, and a second cover having a cradle formed integrally therein. The output shaft has at one end a stepped down shaft portion held in the cradle and at an opposite end a hollow internal chamber formed to receive a protuberance of a device requiring the delivery of high torque to carry out a task in a small space. A programmable control board is attached to one side of the motor; an electrode tip is arranged on a top of the motor; a lead harness assembly is secured around the electrode tip; and an L-shaped connection rod links the lead harness assembly to the control board to conserve space.

Abstract: A three-wire reversing system for a permanent magnet, reversible, brush-type, direct current (DC) motor has a three-wire alternating current (AC) input voltage source which supplies electrical current to at least one capacitive element. This capacitive element and the DC motor replace a permanent split capacitor (PSC) and an AC motor in a prior art three-wire reversing system.

Abstract: A brush and brush holder assembly for a micro horsepower electric motor includes a brush having a tip with a recessed portion; a brush holder surrounding the tip of the brush and having a cutout portion; a shunt carrying current to the tip of the brush; and an independent coil wire spring which does not carry current. This independent coil wire spring has an end which protrudes into the cutout portion of the brush holder and applies constant pressure to the recessed portion in the tip of the brush. The brush and brush holder assembly also has an electrical connection attached to the shunt. This electrical connection may carry direct current to the shunt.

Abstract: In an electronic system, motor braking is accomplished by applying direct current (DC) voltage, developed across a capacitive element during a run mode operation, across terminals of an alternating current (AC) or an induction motor. While the motor is ON, i.e. during the run mode operation, a diode rectifies an AC input voltage applied across a capacitor for charging thereof. Resistive elements in series with the capacitor control a charging rate thereof. When a relay or switch flips over to a STOP or OFF mode, i.e. a braking mode operation, all of the stored DC voltage, which was charged across the capacitor during the run mode operation, is dropped across a coil of the motor. This DC voltage creates an electric force applied to stop quickly and efficiently the motor shaft rotation. In preferred embodiments of the invention, it was found that the higher the capacitance of the electrolytic capacitor, the faster and more efficient the stopping action will be for the motor.

Abstract: A miniaturized motor includes a DC motor, a worm, a pinion gear, a worm gear, at least one cluster gear, an output gear and an output shaft. The gears form a gear train extending from the DC motor to the output shaft. A boss stabilizes the pinion gear by extending downwardly from inside the cover. Acoustical chambers packed with grease suppress noise generated by the gear train. A PC board is also provided on the cover to energize the DC motor. The output shaft may drive either a product mover for beverage cans inside a vending machine or another type of electromechanical unit requiring the application of high torque in a small space. A cradle bearing inside a cover holds a hub of the worm and prevents the worm from bending, thus assuring a good mesh of the worm with the pinion gear. A nest encapsulates the worm, the pinion gear and the worm gear to ensure protection and structural integrity of the miniaturized motor within the small space.

Abstract: A compact miniature motor includes a DC motor, a worm gear, a pinion transfer gear, at least one cluster gear, an output gear, and an output shaft. A socket may be used to accept the output shaft. The gears form a gear train that wraps tightly around the DC motor in the shape of a capital letter J. Inverted trunnions stabilize the pinion transfer gear by extending longitudinally inside thereof. Acoustical chambers packed with grease suppress noise generated by the gear train. A PC board is also provided and has components for rectifying, filtering for constant DC, and modifying AC voltage before passing it to energize the DC motor. The output shaft may drive a product mover for beverage cans inside a vending machine or another type of electromechanical unit requiring the application of high torque.
