Abstract: A brushless motor includes a motor part and a gear part. The motor part includes: a rotating shaft, having a first gear; a rotor, having a bottom wall and a side wall, the bottom wall being fixed to the rotating shaft; magnets, fixed to the side wall and arranged side by side in a circumferential direction of the rotor; a stator, provided between the rotating shaft and the magnets in a radial direction of the rotor and wound with a coil; and a motor housing, rotatably supporting the rotating shaft, and accommodating the rotor and the stator. The gear part includes: a second gear, meshed with the first gear; an output shaft, having an output part, having a base end side thereof fixed to the second gear, and parallel to the rotating shaft; and a gear housing, rotatably supporting the output shaft, and accommodating the second gear.

Abstract: A resin member fitting structure including a first resin member, which is a rectangular hollow tube, has at least one inner wall surface. A second resin member, which is a hollow or solid rectangular tube, has at least one outer wall surface fitted to the at least one inner wall surface of the first resin member. The inner wall surface of the first resin member and the outer wall surface of the second resin member come into contact with each other and define at least one set of fitting surfaces. The second resin member has a hygroscopic expansion coefficient that is smaller than that of the first resin member. The at least one fitting surface includes a plurality of recess-projection engagement structures spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction that intersects a longitudinal direction of the first and second resin members.

Abstract: A switch for urging a driver to perform an operation that is required when the smart ignition function is invalid. The switch is used by a driver to start the engine of a vehicle when the vehicle communicates with a portable device to verify the portable device. The portable device has an end portion. The switch includes a push button pushed by the driver. The push button includes a guide portion engaged with the end portion of the portable device.

Abstract: A vehicle security system for improving convenience without lowering the security level. The vehicle communication system includes a plurality of portable devices and a communication controller, which communicates with the portable devices and controls a vehicle. The communication controller includes a first transmitter circuit, which transmits a first wireless signal within an area near the vehicle, a second transmitter circuit, which transmits a second wireless signal within an area in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, and a communication control unit, which controls at least the closing of a door lock. When a door lever is operated in a state in which the door lock is closed, the communication control unit closes the door lock when one of the portable devices is located near the vehicle and keeps the door lock closed when none of the portable devices is located near the vehicle.

Abstract: An inexpensive communicator that forms an optimal communication electric field. A vehicle interior transmitter circuit includes a main transmitter circuit having a ferrite antenna for generating a main electric field. A closed loop antenna includes a basal end coil, inductively coupled to the main antenna, and a distal end coil, for generating an auxiliary electric field based on the inductive coupling.

Abstract: A tubular arrangement the front end of which defines a fastener outlet is extendably and contractably mounted to a fastener driver body. A drive bit is mounted within the tubular arrangement. A fastener feeder is mounted to the tubular arrangement and contains a pair of fastener guiding plates opposite each other with a predetermined distance sufficient to pass a strapped fastener assembly. One of the fastener guiding plates defines a fastener passage opening for feeding a fastener into the tubular arrangement through a fastener feed hole defined in the side wall of the tubular arrangement. A fastener feed mechanism with a feed roller intermittently engaging and advancing the strap is provided. A fastener separation element of a fastener separation mechanism passes into and out of the fastener passage clearance, presses the fastener and separates it from the strap when the fastener separation element extends out of the fastener passage clearance, to feed the separated fastener into the tubular arrangement.

Abstract: A strapped fastener assemblage for an automatic fastener driver includes a pair of connecting straps made of paper, each of which has a plastic film laminated onto one surface of the connecting strap. The plastic-film-side surfaces of the connecting straps are in contact with each other. A plurality of pin-like fasteners are arranged in parallel to one another with a predetermined spacing and each of the fasteners extend transversely of and between the connecting straps; and a plurality of fastener retainers are defined by a pair of heat-sealed portions in the connecting straps extending transversely of the connecting straps, and the fastener retainer will retain a corresponding one of the fasteners.
