Abstract: On one side of a worm wheel (46) in an axial direction, first thinned portions (46e) recessed toward the other side of the worm wheel (46) in the axial direction are arranged. Further, on the one side of the worm wheel (46) in the axial direction, reinforcing portions (46h) reinforcing areas between the first thinned portions (46e) and tooth portions (45) of the worm wheel (46) are arranged. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a weight of the worm wheel (46) and to suppress occurrence of distortion of the tooth portions (45) by the first thinned portions (46e). In addition, it is possible to sufficiently increase the strength of the worm wheel (46) in the vicinity of the tooth portions (45) by the reinforcing portions (46h).

Abstract: The disclosure makes an insulating component and a sensor bracket to be an integrally molded article, simplifies the manufacturing process and cuts down the cost. A sensor holder and a sensor bracket made of a resin are made to be an integrally molded article, wherein the sensor holder inside which a pair of electrodes are arranged, and the sensor bracket made of a resin which holds the sensor holder and is attached to a tailgate. During an operation of filling a molten resin to a cavity, a part of the sensor holder is melted by the molten resin, and thus integrating the sensor holder and the molten resin, therefore, the two components can be structurally and firmly integrated. Accordingly, a touch sensor unit which endures long-term use can be obtained.

Abstract: A seal member is attached to a cover which occludes a gear case as a housing unit. The seal member is formed of elastomer and integrally formed with: a plate-shaped portion formed into a disc shape which covers the inner surface of the cover; an inner seal portion which is positioned on the inner peripheral edge of a through-hole, and comes into sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of an output member; an outer seal portion which is positioned on the periphery of the cover, and comes into contact with the opening end of the housing unit; and anchor portions which latch onto the front surface of the cover via mounting holes provided to the cover. The boundary between the seal member and the cover extends only to the outside of the gear case, and does not extend to the inside of the gear case.
