  • Patent number: 8166629
    Abstract: A stator having a stator core and coils is disclosed. The stator core includes split core pieces each having a tooth portion. The split core pieces are arranged annularly such that the distal ends of the tooth portions face radially inward. A lead wire is continuously wound about an adjacent pair of the tooth portions such that coils of different phases are formed in the circumferentially adjacent tooth portions, so that a plurality of connecting wires are provided, each connecting wire connecting coils of different phases. The connecting wires are connected to one another while being connected to one another, such that a neutral point is created.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7569969
    Abstract: An insulator is mounted in an armature core. Coils are wound around teeth of the armature core by way of concentrated winding. A power feeding member, which supplies a current to the coils, includes a connecting portion. A separating portion, which is provided in the insulator, is located in the teeth. The separating portion separates each of the coils to a first portion and a second portion. The connecting portion is electrically connected to the first portion. Accordingly, while preventing damage to the coils, the coils are easily connected to the power feeding member.

  • Publication number: 20070046134
    Abstract: A commutator includes a commutator body having segments and a short circuit member for short-circuiting the segments. The short circuit member includes first short circuit pieces and second short circuit pieces that are stacked. A radially outer end portion of each first short circuit piece is overlapped with and connected to a radially outer end portion of one of the second short circuit pieces. The short circuit member is arranged at an axial end of the commutator body such that each pair of the overlapped radially outer end portions corresponds to one of the segments. The radially outer end portions and the segments each have a connecting projection. The connecting projections of each pair of the overlapped radially outer end portions and the connecting projection of the corresponding segment are arranged to form an adjacently arranged set of the connecting projections, which are bonded by welding.

  • Publication number: 20060040747
    Abstract: A game apparatus or a card selling apparatus is provided with a plurality of card dispensers 610 in each of which a large number of cards are loaded and each of which dispenses a card in response to a dispense signal. This apparatus enables more cards to be accommodated in it than that in which only one card dispenser is mounted. In accordance with predetermined dispense conditions, one of the plurality of card dispensers 610 is selected to dispense a card. A card dispense signal is transmitted to the selected card dispenser.
