  • Patent number: 9391419
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a contact terminal including a contact portion that slides against a surface of a conductive contact plate. The manufacturing method includes forming a projection in a metal plate by performing a drawing process, wherein the projection projects in a thicknesswise direction of the metal plate and has a larger diameter than the contact portion. The manufacturing method further includes forming the contact portion from the projection by performing a contraction pressing process at least once on the projection so that the diameter of the projection gradually decreases, while the height of the projection remains the same or decreases in a stepwise manner.

  • Patent number: 8436501
    Abstract: A bearing is positioned relative to a rotatable shaft by inserting the bearing over the rotatable shaft until the bearing contacts a flange of the rotatable shaft, which is cold-forged on the rotatable shaft. The bearing is fixed to the rotatable shaft such that a swaged portion is formed in an outer peripheral portion of the rotatable shaft on an opposite axial side of the bearing, which is axially opposite from the flange, by swaging a corresponding part of the outer peripheral portion of the rotatable shaft such that the corresponding part of the outer peripheral portion of the rotatable shaft is radially outwardly bulged to form the swaged portion, and the swaged portion is axially pressed against the bearing to axially securely clamp the bearing between the swaged portion and the flange.
