Publication number: 20140009877Abstract: The portable apparatus comprises a first casing 1 and a second casing 2 slidably connected to each other by a connecting member. The connecting member and one of the casings 2 have opposed surfaces formed with a sliding-contact surface 311 and a sliding-contact receiving surface 211, to slide against each other in a process of shifting from a second opened state to a closed state, to thereby displace from a position in a sliding direction relative to the connecting member in the second opened state to a predetermined relative position in the closed state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2011Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventors: Atsushi Okamoto, Kenjiro Okamoto, Keisuke Nonaka, Akito Iwai, Kotaro Nakamura, Nobuyuki Kitamura

Patent number: 5574342Abstract: A brushless motor comprises a stator having a drive coil and a stator core, and a rotor. The stator has a plurality of main teeth and a plurality of auxiliary teeth arranged between the plurality of main teeth. The drive coil comprises a main coil and first and second sub coils. The main coil is wound around the plurality of main teeth in such a way that winding directions on adjacent main teeth become opposite to each other. The first sub coil is wound on every other one of the plurality of auxiliary teeth in such a way as to have a same winding direction. The second sub coil is wound on remaining auxiliary teeth in such a way as to have a same winding direction. The winding directions of the first and second sub coils are the same.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 1995Date of Patent: November 12, 1996Assignee: Nidec CorporationInventor: Kenjiro Okamoto
