Patent number: 6674196Abstract: A portable device integrates a small dc motor. The mounting structure of the motor allows an easy installation of the motor and to lower an electric noise level substantially. An insulating first elastic member and a conductive second elastic member are disposed around outside of a motor frame. While leaf-spring type motor-terminals are conductive to feeding terminals of a device, the motor frame is shorted by the second elastic member to a grounding terminal of the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2001Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Eiichi Ibata

Patent number: 6628025Abstract: A motor includes (a) a cylindrical frame made of ferromagnetic material, (b) a pipe fitted in and disposed within the frame concentrically, (c) a sintered bearing press-fitted into the pipe, (d) a cylindrical magnet fixed on an outer wall of the pipe at an inner wall of the magnet, and (e) a cylindrical coil facing the magnet via an annular space, where the frame and the pipe are welded at a fitted section therebetween. This structure allows the motor to withstand a strong enough shock. An apparatus requiring a vibration motor can employ this motor having a large vibrator, so that great vibrations are available for the apparatus. As a result, the apparatus—utilizing the great vibrations as various functions—is obtainable.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2001Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eiichi Ibata, Toshiaki Tsuzaki, Hideo Kobayashi

Patent number: 6563242Abstract: A slim motor good for a portable device includes a frame, pipe, magnet, coil, shaft, first bearing and a second bearing (inside bearing). The pipe is disposed on an inner wall of the cylindrical magnet, and an outer diameter of the second bearing is set at approx. the same as that of the pipe. The second bearing is aligned to the pipe in an axial direction and fixed on the inner wall of the magnet. This structure allows the magnet to extend axially long enough, and solves conventional problems including power consumption, slant of the shaft, motor efficiency, productivity and the like, thereby contributing to achieving a slimmer motor and a slimmed-down device.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eiichi Ibata, Toshiaki Tsuzaki

Publication number: 20020158528Abstract: An unbalance weight of a vibration motor includes a rest section for receiving a rotary shaft and a caulking section for caulking the unbalance weight to the rotary shaft. The rotary shaft includes a recess at a place corresponding to the rest section. Caulking strength applied to the caulking section forces parts of the weight to bite inside of the recess, thereby fixing the weight to the rotary shaft. This structure allows the rotary shaft to hold the weight tightly. The vibration motor can be mounted to a radio paging-device or a cellular phone, so that the user can sense the vibrations to be informed of a calling or a message arrival. The vibration motor is thus suited for a source of vibrations.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2002Publication date: October 31, 2002Inventors: Toshiaki Tsuzaki, Eiichi Ibata

Patent number: 6424064Abstract: An electromagnetic vibrator includes a vibration generating mechanism; a case for containing at least part of the vibration generating mechanism; a power supply terminal for supplying power to the vibration generating mechanism, protruding from the case; an elastic body covering at least part of the case; and an elastic pressing body deformable under pressure, formed in part of the elastic body. When the electromagnetic vibrator is incorporated into a device, part of the device presses the case. Correspondingly, the elastic pressing body presses the power supply terminal toward a power supply land disposed on the device side, and the power supply terminal contacts the power supply land thereby electrically connecting itself to the power supply land. With this construction is provided a highly reliable electromagnetic vibrator and device incorporating the electromagnetic vibrator with electric connections having high vibration resistance and impact resistance.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2001Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eiichi Ibata, Toshiaki Tsuzaki, Kodo Fukuoka

Patent number: 5986367Abstract: In a motor mounting mechanism, a cylindrical motor includes a frame (6) serving as a stator and an electric power supply terminal (2) attached to a bottom surface of a bracket (1). When the motor is mounted to a motor attachment device, a first external electrode (10) is mechanically and electrically connected to a cylindrical side surface of the frame (6) while a second external electrode (11) is mechanically and electrically connected to the power supply terminal (2). The first and second external electrodes are both located outside the motor, and thus, the process of providing lead wires for connecting the external electrodes to the printed board can be omitted, allowing the total size of the motor mounting mechanism to be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1997Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshiaki Tsuzaki, Koji Kuyama, Eiichi Ibata, Kodo Fukuoka, Hideki Shimada
