  • Patent number: 11912284
    Abstract: An alighting assistance device D of the present disclosure may be a device moving a driver seat rearward in a case where a determination may be made that an occupant seated on the driver seat of a vehicle alights. The device may include a height changer which changes a height of a steering wheel, a sitting height acquirer which acquires a sitting height of the occupant, and a steering wheel controller 33 as one example of a height controller which controls the height changer such that the height of the steering wheel becomes lower as the sitting height acquired by the sitting height acquirer may be higher in the case where a determination is made that the occupant alights.

  • Patent number: 7898125
    Abstract: In a fan motor 1 for a vehicle, when opening a vent hole 11 in a cylinder bottom portion 2a of a yoke 2 of the fan motor 1, this is performed so that the opening part cannot be visually observed when the vent hole 11 is viewed head on. The vent hole 11 is formed by dividing the same at a laterally long dividing line so that, at a dividing line X having an angular shape whose left-right direction central portion intrudes into the side of a vent hole upper half portion 12, the upper half portion 12 has a spherical shape that bulges out to the outside of a bottom surface as it is further at the lower side and thus has an inside and outside staggered form with respect to a lower half portion 13.

  • Patent number: 6182350
    Abstract: An electric motor for driving a piston pump assembled thereto is disclosed wherein a load from the piston pump acts radially on an armature shaft of the electric motor. The electric motor is assembled such that the outer ring of a yoke bearing is connected to a yoke, and the outer ring of a first pump housing bearing is press fit to a pump housing. One end of the armature shaft is press fit to the yoke bearing inner ring, and the other end of the armature shaft is press fit to the first pump housing bearing inner ring. Thus, wobbling of the armature shaft in the axial and radial directions is minimized or eliminated.

  • Patent number: 5977673
    Abstract: An electric motor is constructed by tightening set bolts to secure a yoke opened at one end to a bracket mounted on the yoke open end. The outer ring of bearings is press-fitted into the yoke, the inner ring of the bearings is press-fitted around an armature shaft, and the bearings are free from an undue excessive axial load during the tightening the set bolts, without the need for fixing the outer ring to the yoke. A gap between the inner ring of the bearings and a step portion of the armature shaft for restricting the displacement of the inner ring toward the yoke open end, or a gap between the outer ring of the bearings and the closed end of a bearing housing for restricting the displacement of the outer ring in the direction opposite the direction toward the yoke open end, or the sum of both gaps, prior to tightening the set bolts, is set to be greater than the axial deformation of the yoke resulting from the tightening of the set bolts.

  • Patent number: 5942822
    Abstract: An electric motor structure is shown in which a yoke supporting an armature shaft is fixedly secured to a bracket with set bolts passing through the yoke in the axial direction and in which the distances between a pair of brushes and a pair of internal terminals connected thereto are substantially equal to each other. In a base unit, set bolt through holes for allowing the penetration of a pair of set bolts and a pair of brush holders are disposed on diameter lines perpendicular to each other, and further, a pair of internal terminal plates are disposed to straddle the outer circumference of one set bolt. The inserting tip portion of a coupler unit equipped with external terminal plates electrically connected to the internal terminal plates is branched into two sections. When the coupler unit is connected to the internal terminal plates the set bolt is positioned between the branched sections of the coupler unit.

  • Patent number: 5889345
    Abstract: A waterproof electric motor structure in which a yoke 5 is covered with a bottomed cylindrical waterproof cover 12. An open end edge portion 12a of the waterproof cover 12 is internally engaged with a recessed groove portion 10b of a pump bracket 10 by being abutted thereagainst and sealed by a seal member 13. Through holes 5d, 12c are defined in the yoke 5 and the waterproof cover 12, respectively, and a locking cylinder 12d is formed in the cover side through hole 12c. A coupler 14 assembled to pass through both the through holes 5d, 12c is supported by the locking cylinder 12d in a removal prevention state. Further sealing is made by interposing a seal member 16 between a cover side stepped portion 12f and a coupler side stepped portion 14d.
