Taper surfaces (41) are formed in both side portions (27a) of the roller (27) and are mounted on taper surfaces (43) formed in the step portions (12f) in the lower rail (12) and downward inclined toward a center in a width direction.

Abstract: Roller receiving steps (12f) are formed in both sides of a bottom portion of a main body portion (12a) in a long lower rail (12). An upper rail (13) is formed by a main body portion (13a) and a vertical wall (13e) protruding upward from a center of an upper wall (13d) and protruding upward from an opening portion (12e). A roller (27) is inserted to a portion between the step (12f) in the bottom portion of the main body portion (12a) and the upper wall (13d) of the main body portion (13a) in the upper rail (13). Circular arc surfaces (27d) are formed in both side portions (27a) of the roller (27). The circular arc surfaces (27d) in both side portions (27a) of the roller (27) are mounted to circular arc surfaces (28) of the steps (12f).

Abstract: An electronically switched motor includes a stator-rotor assembly fitted with three-phase driving windings, a series of switches for powering the windings, and a control circuit suitable for regulating a speed of the motor as a function of a reference speed and a measured speed. The control circuit includes switch control elements to cause each switch to switch on and off in compliance with a repeated sequence selected to power the driving windings as a function of the reference speed and the measured speed. The sequence includes a succession of on/off pulses with a duty ratio. The control circuit is suitable for generating a first switch control mode for controlling the switches so that the switches are in an ON state or receive a succession of ON pulses over a first activation period and a second switch control mode for controlling the switches so that the switches are in an ON state or receive a succession of ON pulses over a second activation period larger than the first activation period.

Abstract: An engaging and sliding portion (21) having a substantially inverted-U cross sectional shape is formed in a lower base (11). An upper base (13) is arranged via an engaging and sliding portion (21) of the lower base (11) and a first rolling member (23). A sliding portion (25) having a substantially U cross sectional shape and engaging with the engaging and sliding portion (21) is formed in a holding member (15). A second rolling member (27) is provided between the sliding portion (25) of the holder (15) and the engaging and sliding portion (21) of the lower base (11).
