Abstract: An alternator comprises a brush holding assembly holding brushes within a holding portion and being provided with a cover capable of being opened to remove the brush; and a cap which is disposed on an open portion for removal and insertion of the brush, the open portion being formed at a position on the case facing the cover. The removal and insertion of the brush is performed through the open portion with the open portion opened.

Abstract: An automotive alternator includes a case, a rotor disposed inside the case, the rotor including a rotor coil and claw-shaped magnetic poles covering the rotor coil, the claw-shaped magnetic poles being magnetized into North-seeking (N) and South-seeking (S) poles by a magnetic flux, a stator including a stator core provided with slots and a stator winding mounted to the stator core, brushes for supplying electric current from an electric power supply to the rotor coil, and a brush holding assembly secured to the case, the brush holding assembly being provided with a cover and a holding portion for holding the brushes within the holding portion, an open portion for removal and insertion of the brushes being formed at a position on the case facing the cover.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hatch roof attaching construction for a T-bar roof car in which a car roof is formed with a pair of openings at the right and left of a roof center provided at the center of the roof and detachable hatch roofs are formed at the openings so as to be opened/closed, wherein the roof center 3 is provided with a center hook 9 having concaves 9a formed at both sides thereof to accommodate the inside edge 5a of the hatch roof 5, one of engaging members 11, 15 engaging with each other is mounted on the upper surface of the roof center 3 at each side of the center hook 9, and the other of the engaging members 11, 15 is mounted on the inside lower surface of said hatch roof 5.

Abstract: An auto changer is comprised of holders, a movable stocker, a player, a tray, transfer gears, disc detection system, and other parts. A disc is placed on each of the holders, and is loaded into and removed from stocker using the tray together with the holder. The tray is movable while the player is playing back, so that other discs can be loaded and removed. The holder has two holding levers, which hold a disc onto the holder in order to prevent the disc from moving out of position or falling into the unit. When two discs are accidentally placed on the tray and are being loaded into the stocker, the disc detection system detects the two discs and stops the tray in order to prevent damage to the discs or the unit.

Abstract: An axially centering apparatus for fusion-bonding optical fibers comprising a pair of guides having long grooves on the upper surfaces thereof for engaging optical fibers, a pair of fulcra formed in parallel with the long grooves of the guides for supporting the guides, a pair of centering stands having substrates for supporting the fulcra, a pair of centering mechanisms having load imparting mechanism sections having telescopic output ends, load imparting mechanism sections, and transmitting mechanism sections for the adjusting mechanism sections so that the long grooves of said centering stands are disposed adjacent to each other to align in a rectilinear line, said centering mechanisms are associated with the centering stands to contact the output ends of the centering mechanisms with the guides of the centering stands, wherein said one centering stand satisfies the conditions that the fulcrum 3A and the long groove 4A are relatively positioned so that the crossing angle .alpha.
