  • Publication number: 20220209608
    Abstract: In a motor, a wire terminal, to which an end at an end of winding of a wire is connected, is held by an insulator that is held by a stator core. The wire terminal comprises: a substrate connection section; plural legs held by a split insulator; a plate section, a thickness direction of which faces a radial direction, between the legs and the substrate connection section; and a wire connection section, a portion of which projected from the plate section is bent to hold the wire on an inner side. An elastic section is a meandering section meandering to turn back in a circumferential direction between the plate section and the substrate connection section, and extends from an end on another side in the circumferential direction of the plate section toward the substrate connection section.

  • Patent number: 11279224
    Abstract: A lid opening and closing device for a vehicle which includes a restriction member that can operate between a restriction position at which movement of a rod at the lid closed position is restricted and a restriction release position at which the restriction is released, an electric motor that operates for a predetermined time in response to a door switching between a locked state and an unlocked state for driving the restriction member, and a case that houses the restriction member and the electric motor, wherein at least the restriction release position of the restriction member is resiliently held by a holding mechanism. Thus, even when the restriction member stops at position halfway between the restriction release position and the restriction position, convenience is enhanced by carrying out an operation of locking the door by moving the rod to the lid closed position without requiring an unlocking operation.
