Patent number: 7877857Abstract: Coils are electrically connected to a commutator, which includes commutator segments that are arranged one after another in a circumferential direction of a dielectric body along an outer peripheral surface of the dielectric body. Each commutator segment includes a slidably contacting portion, a claw portion and a bending fulcrum portion. The slidably contacting portion is provided in one axial side of the commutator segment and is slidably contactable with each brush. The claw portion is provided in the other axial side of the commutator segment and is engageable with the corresponding coil. The bending fulcrum portion is formed on a claw portion side of the slidably contacting portion and is bent upon radially inwardly pressing the claw portion by a fusing electrode.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: ASMO Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshiyuki Osawa, Ryohei Kageyama, Nobuo Kasao, Kengo Ozawa

Patent number: 7856703Abstract: A short-circuit member includes a short-circuit conductor and a short-circuit insulator. The short-circuit conductor includes superimposed first and second short-circuit member formation groups. Each of the short-circuit member formation groups has outer terminals, inner terminals, and linking portions. The outer terminals contact one another and the inner terminals contact one another between each of the short-circuit member formation groups. The linking portions are maintained in non-contact between each of the short-circuit member formation groups.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2006Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Asmo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryohei Kageyama, Nobuo Kasao, Toshiyuki Osawa, Yuichi Terada

Patent number: 7414344Abstract: A commutator main body 11 includes a plurality of commutator pieces 13 arranged along a circumference, the center of which is a rotation axis L of a motor, and a main body insulator 14 holding the commutator pieces. A short-circuit member 12 is arranged on an end portion of the commutator main body 11 and includes a short-circuit conductor 21, which short-circuits predetermined ones of the commutator pieces, and a short-circuit insulator 22, in which the short-circuit member is embedded. A boss is formed integrally with the short-circuit insulator so as to project from the end portion of the commutator main body.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2006Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: ASMO Co., LtdInventors: Ryohei Kageyama, Nobuo Kasao, Toshiyuki Osawa, Yuichi Terada, Toshihiro Tanino, Yoshiki Nakano

Patent number: 7414345Abstract: A commutator including a commutator main body having a plurality of commutator pieces and a short-circuit member having a short-circuit conductor for short-circuiting commutator pieces. The short-circuit conductor includes superimposed first and second short-circuit member formation groups. The first short-circuit member formation group is thinner than the second short-circuit member formation group. The first and second short-circuit member formation groups are fixed to each other by crimping projections, which are formed on the second short-circuit member formation group through punching, in a state inserted through holes, which are formed in the second short-circuit member formation group.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2006Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Asmo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryohei Kageyama, Nobuo Kasao, Toshiyuki Osawa

Patent number: 7084546Abstract: A commutator includes a generally cylindrical dielectric body and a plurality of commutator segments arranged along an outer peripheral surface of the dielectric body. Each commutator segment includes a ridge, which extends in a direction generally parallel to an axial direction of the commutator and radially inwardly projects into the dielectric body to secure the commutator segment relative to the dielectric body. Each ridge includes alternately arranged high projecting portions and low projecting portions. Each high projecting portion includes grooves, which are obliquely angled relative to the longitudinal direction of the ridge, and protrusions, each of which is bound with one of the grooves and protrudes in an imaginary plane generally perpendicular to the projecting direction of the ridge.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2003Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: ASMO Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryohei Kageyama, Nobuo Kasao, Toshiyuki Ohsawa
