  • Patent number: 7759837
    Abstract: Stator claw poles are disposed at a stator core at a position facing opposite a rotor so as to alternately range from the two sides along the axial direction. With a plurality of magnetic poles thus formed, the distance by which the gap between the front end portions of the stator claw poles and the stator outer circumference ranges is increased, which, in turn, reduces the reactance guided to a stator coil. It is ensured that the magnetic reluctance manifesting between the front end portions of the stator claw poles and an enclosing member that holds the stator core, facing opposite the centers of the claw poles along the circumferential direction, is greater than the magnetic reluctance manifesting between the front portions and the stator core enclosing member facing opposite the front end portions.

  • Patent number: 7701109
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to easily wind a stator winding, enhance an occupied ratio in a stator core, reduce a winding resistance because there is no coil end, and change a field magnetic flux in accordance with a use. Stator pawl magnetic poles of a stator core extend from both sides in an axial direction alternately at locations opposed to a rotor to form a plurality of magnetic poles. With this stator core, it is only necessary to annularly wind a stator winding. Therefore, it is possible to enhance operability and an occupied ratio, and since there is no coil end, it is possible to reduce winding resistance. Since the rotor is a Randall type rotor having a field winding and a rotor pawl magnetic pole, it is possible to change the field magnetic flux in accordance with a use.

  • Patent number: 5537271
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises first and second levers supported to be rotatable on a holder which holds a disc cartridge. The first lever has one end provided with a abutting pin which abuts the shutter to open the window of the cartridge, and other end connected to a shutter-closing spring to rotate the first lever to close the window and eject the cartridge from the holder. The second lever has one end coupled to the shutter-closing spring and other end provided with a push pin and connected to a break spring to make the push pin apply a force to the side of the cartridge. When the cartridge is inserted into the holder, the shutter-closing spring decreases the bias of the brake spring whereby decreasing the force with which the push pin pushes the side of the cartridge.
