  • Patent number: 4883996
    Abstract: A motor having a rotary shaft, a coil wound on an iron core fixed to the rotary shaft, a yoke member, a magnetic flux producing member and commutator means has its yoke member constructed with yoke supporting portions serving as a magnetic path of magnetic flux and four magnetic poles having substantially arcuate shape. Each magnetic pole has a largest dimension of thickness at a center portion thereof and extends outwardly with gradually reduced thickness in accordance with the distance from the central portion. Ends of each magnetic pole respectively oppose corresponding ends of the adjacent magnetic poles with a slight distance therebetween, with the magnetic poles surrounding an outer periphery of the iron core. The magnetic flux producing member includes two rectangular parallelepiped blocks.

  • Patent number: 4349761
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotary electric machine of the type in which a coreless rotary coil having an end connection only at its one side end is mounted on a shaft rotatably within the magnetic field of a stator field magnet and is directed to a novel design for making such type of rotary electric machine flattened in form. According to the present invention a flat shaped coreless electric machine is provided by arranging the commutator of the rotary machine within an open side part opposed to the end connection of the coreless rotary coil.

  • Patent number: 4323806
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a miniature rotary electric machine and more particularly to a coreless type of rotary electric machine. The coreless rotary electric machine includes a rotor coil formed as a coil body in a form of cup with its one end being open. The coil body has, on its circumference, a coil part wound with a predetermined inclination. An end connection wire part is provided to make a connection between adjacent windings only at the one side end of the inclined coil part so that each two adjacent windings of the inclined coil part are connected each other successively by the end connection wire part. According to a feature of the present invention, the inclined coil part and the end connection wire part are formed by coil assembly portions each comprising a plural number of groups of windings turned at the same position in layers with the same number of turns. The coil assembly portions form together a coil assembly of large winding capacity.

  • Patent number: 4259604
    Abstract: An improvement in DC rotary machine is disclosed. The stationary field yoke of the DC rotary machine has a cylindrical field member and a cylindrical bearing member of a smaller diameter than that of the field member. These members are made of oil-containing sintered alloy as a unitary member. The inner cylindrical surface of the bearing part of the stationary field yoke supports a rotary shaft rotatably therein. A motor coil assembly in a shape of cup is fixedly mounted on the rotary shaft. A generator coil assembly is also formed in a shape of cup which has a central opening in the botton wall of the cup. The diameter of the central opening is approximately equal to the outer diameter of the bearing part of the stationary field yoke.

  • Patent number: 4237394
    Abstract: An improved frequency generator is disclosed. The frequency generator includes such a permanent magnet that is magnetized in the direction of the axis of a rotary shaft with which the rotor of the generator is rotated. Between the second magnetic pole side of the permanent magnet and the rotor, there is disposed a flanged cylindrical frame member comprising a flange part and a cylinder part. At the side of the second magnetic pole, the permanent magnet is connected with the flange part of the frame member. The cylinder part of the frame member is arranged so as to surround the circumferential surface of the rotor. The flanged cylindrical frame member disposed in this manner is magnetically conductive so that the area through which the magnetic flux flows between the second magnetic pole side of the permanent magnet and the rotor is effectively increased as compared with the conventional one.

  • Patent number: 4088914
    Abstract: An electric motor of a construction, wherein conductive wires are wound around the outer periphery of an armature core substantially in parallel with a rotor shaft and in such a manner that the terminal connection part of the winding may be provided in the axial direction of the rotor shaft, and, at the same time, a commutator is disposed inwardly at a position nearer to the core than the projected end of the terminal connection part of the winding which projects outwardly in the same direction as the axial direction of the core, whereby the length of the rotary armature in the axial direction thereof is shortened to flatten the motor per se in the axial direction thereof.
