Patent number: 4864322Abstract: An antenna rod, which is extendible and retractable, is moved up and down by a cable with a rack, and the cable is moved with rotation of a pinion gear. The rotational force of a DC motor is transferred to the pinion gear by a route of a worm, a worm wheel, gears, a damper gear, and a damper. The damper is a coil of resilient metal wire, and both ends of the coiled wire, respectively, engage stopping members, which are provided at the center portions of the damper gear and the pinion gear. When the pinion gear is at a standstill, the rotational energy of the damper gear is accumulated in the damper. The motor is rotated under control of a control circuit in response to the operation of a switch. The drive current for the motor is shut off by a detecting signal from a lock detector during the course of accumulating the rotational energy by the damper. The lead angle of the teeth of the worm is large so that the rotational energy stored in the damper is transferred to the motor.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1987Date of Patent: September 5, 1989Assignees: Asmo Co., Ltd., Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akinori Yamamoto, Kiyomitsu Oshikawa, Isaku Kawashima, Kazunori Nakayama, Yoshiaki Harakawa, Takenori Kuno, Makoto Watanabe

Patent number: 4649398Abstract: There is provided an electric antenna apparatus which is mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile, and in which the rotation of a DC motor drives and rotates a pinion through a reducing mechanism, and a cable coupled to the base end portion of an antenna rod is coupled to this pinion so as to come into engagement therewith. The cable is driven in its longitudinal direction due to the pinion, rotated in response to the rotation of the motor, and the antenna rod coupled to this cable is driven, thereby allowing the antenna rod to be extended or retracted. In this case, a magnetic disk, formed with a plurality of magnetic poles in its outer peripheral portion, is mounted to a worm wheel constituting the reducing mechanism so that the magnetic disk is rotated coaxially with the worm wheel. Also, a reed switch is attached to a circuit board set adjacent to the motor, thereby allowing a pulse-like signal from the reed switch to be detected in response to the rotation of the magnetic disk.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1985Date of Patent: March 10, 1987Assignee: Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akinori Yamamoto, Masaaki Kurii
