  • Patent number: 11978481
    Abstract: A motor includes a shaft, a base portion, a stator, and a rotor. The shaft extends along a central axis extending in an axial direction. The base portion extends in a radial direction on one axial direction side of the shaft. The stator is located in another axial direction with respect to the base portion and surrounds the shaft. The rotor is rotatable around the central axis. The rotor includes a rotor tube portion, a magnet, and a rotor flange portion. The rotor tube portion surrounds the stator. The magnet is opposed to the stator in the radial direction. The rotor flange portion extends in a radially outer direction from one axial end portion of the rotor tube portion. The rotor tube portion includes a yoke tube portion and a hub tube portion. The yoke tube portion is located on a radially inside surface of the hub tube portion.

  • Patent number: 7637786
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a socket and a plug. In the socket, plural first connectors are provided in parallel, and substantially U-shaped press-fitting portions are assembled so as to cross over opening edge portions of a socket body. In the plug, plural second connectors are provided in parallel, and substantially U-shaped press-fitting portions are assembled so as to cross over opening edge portions of a plug body. The plug body has a planar shape which can be fitted in the opening edge portions of the socket body. Particularly, a free end portion of the press-fitting portion of the second connector located in the opening edge portion of the plug body is engaged with a position regulating recess formed in a bottom surface of the plug body.
