  • Patent number: 7109631
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a low cogging and easy-to-downsize spindle motor structure. The motor is an axial magnetic flux spindle motor comprising a stator assembly and a rotor assembly. The stator assembly comprises a deck for seating the rotor assembly and at least one bearing placed on the housing of said stator and between the stator and the rotor. The outer periphery part of the bearings is the stationary part; with the inner part of said bearings being the rotating part. A cylindrical shaft is located in the center of the rotor. When the thin windings of stator are excited with current, a rotating magnetic field is created, forcing said rotor into rotation, and as a consequence, bringing the spindle into rotation that generates motor output needed to drive loads.

  • Publication number: 20030022744
    Abstract: An improved front gear-change device for bicycle, which features are: one side of a inner guide rod is set a cable guide for guiding speed-change cable, and the inner guide rod, the cable guide, a body and an outer guide rod are all made of plastic; there is a metal spacer on upper rim of inner guide rod for protection between a fine tuning screw, a fixing screw and inner guide rod, thus inner guide rod can avoid damage; the body is set plural tool holes for carry-on tools. The plastic part of the improved front gear-change device is made by direct inject molding, no additional machining.
