  • Patent number: 11747230
    Abstract: A sensor device includes a main driving gear, driven gears, an biasing member configured to bias the driven gears toward the main driving gear, a support member configured to support the biasing member, and a sensor configured to generate an electrical signal based on rotation of the driven gears. In a force applied when the biasing member biases the driven gears, assuming that a direction orthogonal to a tangent line at a point of action of the force is set as a first direction, the first direction is different from a second direction.

  • Patent number: 8193677
    Abstract: A motor includes a cylindrical stator. The stator includes a stator core having teeth, which project inwardly in the radial direction, and coils, which are formed by winding a conductive wire onto each tooth with first and second insulators. The first insulator includes a support extending axially from an outer restriction wall. Each of first to third bus bars is supported by the support of the first insulator in a state in which a main portion is exposed. The main portions of the first to third bus bars are thus in contact with ambient air.
