  • Patent number: 8288902
    Abstract: A thermistor device configures part of an electrical path from a motor feeder section to an armature. A recess defining wall defines an accommodating recess, which accommodates the thermistor device. The thermistor device includes a plate-like thermistor element. A first conductive plate and a second conductive plate sandwich the thermistor element. A pair of first projections 22b are provided at the distal end of the first conductive plate in the insertion direction. A pair of second projections 23b are provided at the distal end of the second conductive plate in the insertion direction. The first projections and the second projections abut against the recess bottom wall in a range that corresponds to the thermistor device except the thermistor element.

  • Patent number: 5907139
    Abstract: A device for detecting a position of a moving body is provided in which a position of a moving body such as a window glass can be detected with high accuracy, initial positions can be set without complicated adjustment, such can be realized with a simple structure and at a low cost, and assemblability can be greatly improved. In the device for detecting a position of a moving body, spring claws, which form a clutch mechanism and press a carrier, are formed integrally with a protective plate. A switch portion including a moving contact is provided integrally with a ring gear of the planetary gear group and rotates therewith. The switch portion detects the position of the moving body by on-and-off operation thereof. The spring claws are provided at a side of a planetary gear group (a planetary gear and the carrier) opposite a side at which a cover plate is provided. Accordingly, the protective plate can be installed after the planetary gear group.

  • Patent number: 4939867
    Abstract: A power supplying system for supplying power to a self-driving closure device in which a driving source for driving the closure device for opening and closing an opening moves together with the closure device includes a lead wire having one end connected to a power source and the other end connected to the driving source. The side of the lead wire connected to the power source is supported at a midpoint between the positions of the upper and lower limits of movement of the driving source, while the side of the lead wire connected to the driving source is supported in such a manner as to move together with the driving source. The lead wire is thus made to swing in conjunction with the movement of the driving source so as to supply power to the moving driving source. A guide shaft is provided along the direction of movement of the driving source, and a helical portion formed in the lead wire is extended or shrunk along the guide shaft so as to supply power to the moving driving source.

  • Patent number: 4908988
    Abstract: A self-driving closure device for moving a closure member such as a window glass of a vehicle between an open position and a close position. The device has a motor movable together with the closure member. The motor has a pinion that meshes with a rack secured to the vehicle door or a rotary drum on which an intermediate portion of a wire secured to the door is wound, so that a thrusting force for driving the window glass between the open and close positions is generated as a reactional force as the pinion or the drum is rotated. A mechanism is provided between the motor and the window glass so as to absorb any offset between the direction of movement of the glass and the direction of movement of the motor, so as to ensure smooth movement of the window glass.
