  • Patent number: 6843148
    Abstract: The invention concerns a gear motor (1), in particular for driving vehicle equipment, comprising a rotor provided with a rotor shaft (6), a reduction gearbox housing (14) containing a cog wheel engaged in an endless screw of the shaft and capable of driving an output member (12). The invention is characterised in that it comprises means (12) for eliminating, under predetermined axial compression (F), all axial play between one end (6a) of the rotor shaft and the housing wall (13). Said means can comprise a plug (15) housed in the housing (14) end (13) and a piston (18), inserted between the plug (15) and the shaft (6) end (6a); the plug (15) exerts on the piston (18) and the shaft (6) the axial thrust (7) which is adjusted when being mounted, and is axially locked in the corresponding position by melting the housing (14) plastic material in the grooves or recesses (19) of the piston (18) surface, then in solidifying said plastic material.

  • Patent number: 6564666
    Abstract: A reducing motor including a rotor with an armature shaft, a reducer housing (2) containing a gear wheel (3) engaging a worm on the shaft, and a shock absorber (5) housed in the gear wheel and rotationally integral therewith. The unitary shock absorber has circumferential notches (8) engageable both by radial flanges 87) on the gear wheel and by elements (10) for driving an output member (11), and chamfers (90) are provided on the edges of the notches to ensure gradual torque-dependent angular deflection of the shock absorber and make it easier to mount the same automatically on the hub of the gear wheel.
