  • Patent number: 10574115
    Abstract: A power supply member 50 is provided with a convex part 60 that fits into either of a pair of cutout parts provided in a gear case, thereby positioning a connector connecting part 52 with respect to the gear case and a motor yoke along a circumferential direction of a rotating body. Thus, with a single power supply member 50 it is possible to form a seat motor with various specifications (disposition mode A and disposition mode B) wherein the protrusion direction of the connector connecting part 52 differs. Accordingly, the layout property can be improved, versatility can be increased, and yield can be improved.
