  • Patent number: 6486579
    Abstract: An electromagnetic vibrator includes a movable body producing vibration by revolving motion or reciprocating motion with respect to its center axis through being powered from the outside. The vibrator also includes an outer shell supporting the moving body and having two mounting faces, one being vertical and the other being parallel to the center axis. A portable device employs this electromagnetic vibrator. This structure allows the portable device to gain vibration in either direction, thereby increasing the versatility of the device. When a plurality of the electromagnetic vibrators are mounted to a device with their center axes in different directions or in the same direction, vertical and lateral vibrations can be produced at the same time, so that the device owns complex vibration modes and performs versatile functions.

  • Patent number: 5973426
    Abstract: A small motor for use in an information-communication appratus, an audio-visual apparatus or the like, and a motor for use in a portable pager and a portable telephone or the like for generating vibrations to be transmitted to a human body, the motors being efficient, small and thin in size, and having a high degree of freedom when mounted on an apparatus. To realize the motor as described above, K pieces of (K indicating any integer greater than one) magnetic units (4a, 4b, 4c) having N and S poles magnetized alternately are mounted on a rotor in a circumferential direction, and K magnetic units are axially stacked in K stages and integrally retained on a shaft (6), and this rotor is rotatably supported on a pair of bearings (9a, 9b). Cores (1a, 1b, 1c) each have a salient pole (7a, 7b, 7c) wound around with coils (3a, 3b, 3c) in K stages so as to correspond to each of the magnetic units.

  • Patent number: 5027025
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a flat brushless motor utilizable as a warning in a portable communication device. The center of gravity of the rotor assembly is displaced from the center of rotation so that, by the rotation of the unbalanced rotor assembly, vibrations can be generated and the. By elimination of an eccentric or the like for generating the vibrations, a manufacture in a flat and compact size, as well as a reduction in the number of component parts, can be attained.

  • Patent number: 4224542
    Abstract: Fixed members of the small-sized motor centrifugal governor switch and commutator segment metals are secured to a boss of a molding insulating resin mounted on a shaft of the rotor, thereby disposing the centrifugal governor switch on the same side as the commutator with respect to the rotor. With this construction, there is no need of installing the centrifugal governor switch in the space radially centrally of the stator magnet, hence there is no need of restricting the size of the centrifugal governor switch to be smaller than the inner diameter of the stator magnet. Accordingly the centrifugal governor switch can be made larger, thereby securing a better function.

  • Patent number: 4188713
    Abstract: A metal tube with outwardly bent risers for terminals is filled with a body of plastic resin which hardens in place. Then the tube is cut through, chordwise, a plurality of times to provide a plurality of segments. An extended, base portion of the plastic resin body through which the risers extend radially outwardly continues to hold the cylindrical disposition of the metal segments, with gaps maintained therebetween. A shaft is fitted coaxially in the base portion of the plastic resin body and extends through a larger diameter central bore of the body, centrally of the commutator segments. The gaps communicate with the annular space between this bore and the shaft, for cleaning out of particulate debris by centrifugal force.
