Abstract: A permanent magnet field type DC machine in which the amount of flux from field poles is changed by effective use of armature reaction thereby to improve characteristics of the DC machine. There is provided a permanent magnet field type DC machine having field poles formed of permanent magnet members and auxiliary magnetic pole members of high permeability which are provided in parallel with each other in the direction of rotation on the peripheral surface of a yoke to oppose an armature with an air gap therebetween, the auxiliary magnetic pole members being magnetized by armature reaction thereby to change the total amount of field magnetic flux from the field poles, wherein the gap between the auxiliary magnetic pole members and armature is selected to be smaller than that between the permanent magnet members and armature, thereby decreasing the reluctances in the paths of the auxiliary magnetic pole members, so that the armature reaction can be effectively used.

Abstract: A plurality of permanent magnets (4) are disposed with gaps between adjacent magnets along the inner peripheral surface of a yoke (2) of a stator for a magneto D.C. motor. In gaps between magnets, there are provided retainers (3), ech of which is made of an elastic member and consists of one surface (11) fixed on the yoke, two surfaces (12, 13) extending in the central axial direction of the D.C. motor along the side facing surfaces (71, 72) of the magnets opposite to each other on the inner peripheral surface of the yoke and two end portions (32) connecting these two surfaces (12, 13). Those two surfaces (12, 13) and end portions (32) are kept in contact with the permanent magnet from three directions, namely from both facing surfaces (71, 72) of the permanent magnet and from each of the outer surfaces (81, 82) of the magnets adjacent to each facing surface (71, 72) extending in the central axial direction, whereby the permanent magnets are pressed and clamped so as to be secured to the yoke.

Abstract: In a permanent type DC motor, a stator comprises a yoke and a plurality of magnetic pole pairs composed of permanent magnets and auxiliary poles. The plurality of magnetic pole pairs are held and fixed in intimate contact with the yoke by pressingly deforming a cylindrical thin plate made of magnetic material such as a steel plate. The fixture of the magnetic pole pairs composed of the permanent magnets and auxiliary poles is attained by a projecting part formed by pressingly deforming a part of the thin cylindrical plate made of the magnetic material toward a space between the adjacent pole pairs and by using U-shaped magnetic retaining pieces.

The joining portion of boss has an annular groove defined by a rugged bottom and both sides one of which is inclined along metal flow. The joining portion of the flywheel has the same shaped groove as one of the boss. Two the joining portions define an annular gap in which a joining member is disposed deformed by pressworking. The joining member inserted into the annular gap has the same shearing strength as the flywheel when an axial force is applied to the flywheel magneto.
