  • Patent number: 11027766
    Abstract: A steering apparatus includes: a column shaft; a column tube supporting the column shaft; a housing movably supporting the column tube; a fastener configured to fix the position of the column tube by pressing on radial ends of the housing; a first impact absorber configured to generate a first dynamic friction force with the column tube; and a second impact absorber configured to generate a second dynamic friction force with the housing during a secondary collision by being moved by the first impact absorber. The first impact absorber is structured such that a distal static friction coefficient in a distal region located further from a squeezing portion of the fastener is less than a proximal static friction coefficient in a proximal region closer to the squeezing portion.

  • Patent number: 8241436
    Abstract: There is provided a conductive filler with high heat resistance which can be melt-bonded under reflow heat treatment conditions for a lead-free solder and, after the bonding, does not melt under the same heat treatment conditions. The conductive filler is characterized in that, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry, it has at least one metastable metal alloy phase observed as an exothermic peak and has at least one melting point observed as an endothermic peak in each of the 210 to 240° C. range and the 300 to 450° C. range, and that the filler, upon heat treatment at 246° C., gives a bonded object which has, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry, no melting point observed as an endothermic peak in the 210 to 240° C. range or has a melting endotherm calculated from an endothermic peak area in the 210 to 240° C. range, the melting endotherm being 90% or less of the melting endotherm of the filler before bonding calculated from an endothermic peak area in the 210 to 240° C. range.

  • Patent number: 7965009
    Abstract: A motor rotor has a resin-impregnated thread layer formed by winding a thread of a reinforced fiber material around a permanent magnet layer with a gap between an outer peripheral surface of the thread layer and an inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical body, and impregnating the thread layer with a curable resin. A subsequent thread layer is formed by leading a continuous thread into an annular passage through thread passing recesses, winding the continuous thread around a bottom portion of the passage, and impregnating the subsequent thread layer with a curable resin. A curable resin is injected into the gap between the outer peripheral surfaces of the thread layer and the subsequent thread layer and the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body through resin injection passages and/or the thread passing recesses before heating and curing.

  • Publication number: 20100295402
    Abstract: A motor rotor is provided wherein a resin with which a thread layer is impregnated is preventing from being broken even if the motor rotor is rotated at a high speed. A thread layer 9 is formed by winding a thread of a reinforced fiber material around a permanent magnet layer 5 with a gap formed between an outer peripheral surface 9a of the thread layer 9 and an inner peripheral surface 53a of a cylindrical body 53. The thread layer 9 is impregnated with a curable resin. A subsequent thread layer 13 is formed by leading a continuous thread, which is continuous with the thread forming the thread layer 9, into an annular passage 35 through thread passing recesses 33a, and winding the continuous thread around a bottom portion of the passage 35. The subsequent thread layer 13 is impregnated with a curable resin. A cylindrical member 17 is fixed to first and second annular members 21, 7 by shrink fitting.

  • Patent number: 7686982
    Abstract: Disclosed is a conductive filler which can be fusion-bonded under lower temperature conditions (with the peak temperature of not less than 181° C.) than the reflow heat treatment conditions for an Sn-37Pb eutectic solder. This conductive filler is applicable to heat-resistant uses similar to those of the Sn-37Pb eutectic solder. The conductive filler is a mixture of first metal particles composed of an alloy having a chemical composition including 25-40% by mass of Ag, 2-8% by mass of Bi, 5-15% by mass of Cu, 2-8% by mass of In and 29-66% by mass of Sn, and second metal particles composed of an alloy having a chemical composition including 5-20% by mass of Ag, 10-20% by mass of Bi, 1-15% by mass of Cu and 50-80% by mass of Sn. In the mixture, 20-10,000 parts by mass of the second metal particles are contained per 100 parts by mass of the first metal particles.
