  • Patent number: 11047444
    Abstract: Damping stopper for a mechanism in which a housing and shaft are not only displaced axially relative to each other but but also rotated relative to each other. The damping stopper is attached to a space portion between an end surface portion on housing side and an end surface portion on shaft side which is displaced axially relative to the housing and is rotated relative to the housing and has a metal fitting on one of the end surface portions, an elastic body connected to the metal fitting, and a sliding member connected to the elastic body. The sliding member contacts the other end surface portion to contact/separate from the other end surface portion and the sliding member is slidable and rotatable relative to the other end surface portion when the shaft is rotated while the sliding member, containing resin component, contacts the other end surface portion.

  • Patent number: 7825550
    Abstract: A method to hook a magnet wire extracted from a coil A stator core 35 includes a core back 352 of a substantially annular shape. At a radially outer end portion of the core back 352 four teeth 351 are arranged radially. At the teeth 351, a coil 371 is formed by winding a magnet wire 37 via an insulator 36. A first insulator 361 configuring a lower half of the insulator 36 includes a first core back insulating portion 3611, 1 first teeth insulating portion 3612, and a first cylindrical portion 3613. A hook portion 4 is formed at the first core back insulating portion 3611 at radially outer side, and between the teeth 351. The magnet wire 37 extracted from the coil 371 is hooked on the hook portion 4. The magnet wire 37 hooked on the hook portion 4 is lead the magnet wire 37 around the hook portion 4 as a base, and is soldered to a land 381 formed above a circuit board 38.

  • Publication number: 20100044645
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a conductive polyurethane molded body that can reconcile a satisfactory conductivity with a satisfactory moldability or, in place of this, can provide a high conductivity while securing a suitable moldability, and provides a conductive roll. A conductive polyurethane molded body is obtained by employing as main starting materials polyol and isocyanate that contains at least 60 mass % of 2,4?-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, incorporating thereinto at least a conductivity-imparting agent, and reacting and molding. The conductive polyurethane foam obtained when this reaction is carried out with the addition of a foaming agent is well suited for use as a conductive roll.

  • Publication number: 20080213103
    Abstract: An axial flow fan includes a housing defining an air inlet and an air outlet, a motor mounted to the housing and an impeller including blades. The housing includes an expanded portion adjacent the air outlet. In the expanded portion, the inner diameter of the housing increases towards the air outlet so that the expanded portion has an inner end where its diameter is smallest. The trailing edge of each blade is inclined, with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the impeller, so as to extend toward the air inlet from a radially innermost end of the edge to a radially outermost end of the edge. The radially outermost end of the trailing edge is disposed closer to the air inlet than the inner end of the expanded portion, and the radially innermost end of the of the trailing edge is disposed closer to the air outlet than inner end of the expanded portion.

  • Publication number: 20080175729
    Abstract: An axial flow fan includes a housing, a plurality of rotor vanes that rotate inside the housing, and a plurality of sheet-like stationary vanes that are disposed below the rotor vanes and fixed to the housing. The axial flow fan includes a motor that is connected to the rotor vanes and rotates the rotor vanes about a central axis. Each stationary vane has a projecting portion projecting axially upward from a sidewall of a base portion. The projecting portion of each stationary vane has an inner side surface on the central axis side. When a stator part is attached to the housing, the outer side surface of a circuit board radially meets the inner side surfaces. The circuit board axially meets the axially upper end surface of the sidewall of the base portion.
