  • Patent number: 7671505
    Abstract: An electric motor includes a cylindrical yoke with a bottom; a bracket that covers an opening of the yoke; and a brush holder. The brush holder includes a brush housing portion, with the brush housing portion having three side piece portions, excluding a bottom piece portion, integrally formed; a first disk portion; and a second disk portion. The first disk portion and the second disk portion are integrated with the bottom piece portion of the brush housing portion. A ring-shaped abutting surface and the bottom piece portion of the brush housing portion are formed on a bracket-side disk surface of the brush holder. The abutting surface is formed as a holding portion that is pressed to the yoke by the bracket via a bracket-side elastic member.

  • Publication number: 20090266466
    Abstract: A gluing tool, one of the embodiments of a coating film transfer tool, comprises a supply reel 20 which supplies a coating film transfer tape 10 composed of a base tape and a coating film attached thereon, a transfer roller 30, a take-up reel 40 which rolls up the base tape after transfer, a cooperative drive mechanism 50 which is adapted to cause said reels to rotate cooperatively, and a pressing roller 60. When a receiving object P, being pressed onto the transfer roller 30 by the pressing roller 60, is moved, the coating film is transferred only over the range in which the receiving object P was moved. The coating film remained unused can be utilized by rewinding the transfer tape 10.

  • Patent number: 7436179
    Abstract: A magnet device has main coils in a pair positioned facing each other to form a static magnetic field space in between and external magnetic flux shielding coils placed coaxially to the main coils. The external magnetic flux shielding coils have a first coil group having a small coefficient of coil coupling and a second coil group having a coefficient of coil coupling greater than that of the first coil group. The first coil group is connected in series to the second coil group. External magnetic flux entering the magnetic field imaging space formed by main coils in a pair positioned facing each other is effectively warded off.

  • Publication number: 20080144279
    Abstract: A heat sink is provided that makes air velocity between cooling fins uniform in order to improve heat dissipation performance, thereby realizing a reduction in weight and achieving high cost performance. Distal ends of fins disposed substantially in front of a cooling fan are located on the uppermost stream side in the flowing direction of cooling air, and distal ends of fins on both sides in the width direction of the heat sink are located on the lowermost stream side. Each of the fins is preferably provided with a slope so that the height of the fin gradually increases from the distal end thereof in a direction from the upstream side to the downstream side in the flowing direction of cooling air.
