Abstract: A cylindrical yoke 8 bonded to an inner surface 44 of a cylindrical portion 43 of a rotor case 40 of a motor has a yoke separating slit 85 for separating the yoke 8 in the circumferential direction. A cylindrical rotor magnet 9 is partially bonded to an inner surface 81 of the yoke 8 at a plurality of bonded portions 10 formed apart from one another for the same intervals in the circumferential direction. When the cylindrical portion 43 has been expanded by heat, the yoke separating slit 85 is expanded and the yoke 8 follows the non-bonded portion of the cylindrical portion 43. Therefore, distortion of the cylindrical portion 43 can be prevented. In the non-bonded portions 11 between the yoke 8 and the rotor magnet 9, deformation occurs such that an inner surface 81 of the yoke 8 is separated from an outer surface 92 of the rotor magnet 9. Thus, damage of the rotor magnet 9 can be prevented.

Abstract: A rotary cylinder device has a stationary cylinder with a stationary shaft; a rotary cylinder rotatably mounted on the stationary shaft, the rotary cylinder having an opening on one side thereof which is opposite to the other side where the rotary cylinder confronts with the stationary cylinder; a signal recording and reproducing magnetic head provided on the periphery of the rotary cylinder; an electric motor including: a rotor member of the electric motor, which is provided in the opening of the rotary cylinder and secured to the rotary cylinder; a stator member of the electric motor, which is confronted with the rotor member; and a first magnetic shielding member arranged to cover the opening of the rotary cylinder.

Abstract: A laminated core for a motor includes a plurality of core members made of magnetic material and which are laminated to form laminated core members; insulating layers formed on the surfaces of the laminated core members, and a wire wound on the insulating layer of the laminated core members, wherein the insulating layers are respectively formed on the core members located on the upper and lower sides of the laminated core in the laminate direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dc motor comprising a motor frame; a flexible magnet fixed on the motor frame; a rotor having a rotor core, the rotor core having windings and confronting the flexible magnet; a rotating shaft for rotating integrally with the rotor; a commutator secured to the rotating shaft; a brush body coming in slidable contact with the commutator and supplying power to control driving of the rotor; a brush body holder, made of an insulating resin, for holding the brush body; and an engaging device for engaging the brush body with the flexible magnet.

Abstract: A magnetic head mechanism in a magnetic tape apparatus is capable of multiple track, two-way recording and reproduction on magnetic tape. A magnetic head is supported in such a way that it is reversible around an axis that is perpendicular to the surface of the head over which magnetic tape slides, the magnetic tape is moved across the width of the magnetic tape.

Abstract: A music box operating stopping mechanism in which a pull string for winding a coil string can be stopped with a very small force so as to prevent the skin of a finger from being caught by the string as passes through a hole in the case of the music box. A locking member is provided which can pass in and out of the region of rotation of an air braking type speed governor plate which is driven by the coil spring. The locking member is urged out of the region of rotation of the governor plate with an elastic force which is much smaller than the elastic force of the coil string. The string is engaged with the locking member so that when the string is pulled outwardly during playing of music, the locking member is moved into the region of rotation of the governor plate against the elastic force of the string.
