Abstract: A pressure sensor apparatus is substantially miniaturized by utilizing dead space. A sensor element is arranged to be present in a medium for detecting the pressure of the medium. A control element serves to control an electric signal from the sensor element, and a power supply element serves to control an input from the power supply and a signal from the control element thereby to generate an output. A lead frame has the control element and the power supply element mounted thereon and serves as an electrical conduction path. A resin body is formed by integrating the control element, the power supply element and the lead frame with one another. Either one of the sensor element, the control element and the power supply element is arranged on one side surface of the lead frame, and the remaining two are arranged on the other side surface of the lead frame.

Abstract: To suppress the projection of an O ring when a plurality of O rings fitted onto a pipe are inserted into the respective O ring storage chambers of a cup, first and second O ring storage chambers corresponding to the plurality of O rings are formed in the cup, and the line diameter of an O ring which is inserted later is made larger than the line diameter of the O ring which is first inserted.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a pulse generator provided with a connecting member electrically connecting the lead and coil having an entwining section at one end thereof at the portion different from where an end of the coil is fixed, around which wound the middle portion of the coil drawn out to be connected to the lead, whereby a stress added to the drawn out coil is absorbed by the coil twined around the entwined portion, to be prevented from cutoffs of the coil fixed to the one end of the connecting member. A reinforcing member can be applied to the connecting member at an end thereof where the coil is fixed, to reinforce the bending strength of the end portion of the connecting member thereby to prevent cutoffs of the coil. Furthermore, the pulse generator may be provided with a bobbin having a protrusion at the edge of one flange thereof the drawn out coil twining around thereby to maintain the winding strength of the coil to facilitate the following work.

Abstract: A pulse generator is constructed and arranged such that, by bringing a piece to be detected into contact or making it disconnect with regard to a detecting head at the tip end of a magnetic iron core, the magnetic flux in interlinkage with a detecting coil is caused to change, and by bending almost at right angles a terminal in connection with both the detecting coil and a leading wire, the tension occurring on the leading wire is not transmitted to connections between the detecting coil and the terminal.

Abstract: A steering torque detector includes input and output shafts, a torsion bar connected between the input and the output shafts, a printed circuit board attached to the input shaft or output shaft and resistor layers and electrode as a potentiometer, having a mounting ring made of electric insulator and fitted around both the input and output shafts, and a slider attached to the mounting ring and elastically kept in contact with the resistor layers at the slider. The potentiometer includes main and auxiliary circuits each having the resistor layer and the electrode, the resistor layers of both circuits being located at a distance from each other in the radial direction of the detector and extending along mutually concentric circles through the same range of central angle of the detector.

Abstract: A steering torque detecting apparatus for use in an electrically-operated power steering system of a vehicle. Flexural load which is applied between a pair of input and output shafts during a steering operation is absorbed by the contact between a printed board and the end of a boss portion of a mounting ring for mounting a slider, thereby preventing displacement of the position of contact of the slider with a potentiometer element. The mounting ring is provided with an elastically deformable cylindrical collar portion which surrounds the slider and the printed board is movably disposed inside the cylindrical collar portion to thereby prevent intrusion of foreign matter into the area of contact between the slider and the printed board. A bush for supporting the printed board is rigidly secured to either the input or output shaft through engagement between a positioning groove and a fixing pin and engagement of a bent end portion of the bush with a groove provided in the shaft.
