Abstract: A holder that holds a compact electric device includes a contact fitting that resiliently contacts a contact arranged in a surface of the electric device. A holding element is coupled to the contact fitting and supported by the holder. An urging portion urges the contact fitting from the holder to the contact of the electric device.

Abstract: A pump includes a rotatable rotor installed in a motor part and at least one impeller installed in a pump part, capable of being rotated together with the rotor in unison. The rotor and the impeller are accommodated in a casing, and the impeller has an inlet at an inner periphery thereof and an outlet at an outer periphery thereof. A housing is arranged in both sides of an axial direction of the impeller and has an outer peripheral part coupled to the rotor at a rear side portion thereof, and the outer peripheral part is projected outwards further than a gap between an outer peripheral surface of the rotor and an inner peripheral surface of the casing in which the rotor is rotatably accommodated.

Abstract: A pump includes a pump unit, a pump case, a motor unit, a plurality of guide blades forming plural guide paths in tangent directions of the impellers; and a multiplicity of return blades to form paths for collecting the liquid under pressure from the guide paths into a suction opening of a next-stage impeller. The return blades have a configuration in which a total cross sectional area of inlet openings of concave paths formed by a plurality of ribs is set to be equal to or larger than a cross sectional area of the suction port, while a total volume of the concave paths is set to be smaller than the total volume of non-path portions excluding the paths.

Abstract: A vane pump includes a rotor accommodated in a rotor chamber; a plurality of vanes attached to the rotor, each of the vanes having a leading end adapted to make sliding make a contact with an inner peripheral surface of the rotor chamber. Further, the vane pump includes working compartments surrounded by inner surfaces of the rotor chamber, an outer peripheral surface of the rotor and the vanes, the working compartments being adapted to undergo a volume change as the rotor is rotatably driven; an inlet port through which a working fluid is drawn into a working compartment whose volume is being increased; and an outlet port through which the working fluid is discharged from a working compartment whose volume is being decreased; and one or more blade base members protruded from portions on the outer peripheral surface of the rotor between the vanes adjacent to each other.

Abstract: A pump includes a pumping unit including therein an impeller for sucking and discharging a liquid; and a pump case accommodating therein the pumping unit and provided with an inlet for sucking the liquid into the pump and an outlet for discharging the liquid out of the pump. The impeller has an inlet mouth portion of a cylindrical shape that projects towards the pump case, and the pump case has a case inlet portion and an annular recess portion which the inlet mouth portion of the impeller is movably inserted in and is formed at the vicinity of the case inlet portion.
