  • Publication number: 20150022050
    Abstract: An electric rotating machine having high cooling performance is provided. The electric rotating machine is configured to include a rotor rotating around a rotational axis; and a stator disposed to face the circumferential surface of the rotor. The stator includes a stator core having a cylindrical core back and a plurality of teeth radially extending from the core back, and a stator coil wound around the teeth in concentrated winding via an insulation material. A spacer having electric insulation performance is attached between the stator coils each wound around the respective teeth adjacent to each other. The spacer has a coefficient of linear expansion greater than that of the stator core.

  • Patent number: 6695161
    Abstract: A container closure has a top panel wall, and an annular seal piece and an annular contact piece are integrally formed in an outer peripheral edge portion of an inner surface of the top panel wall. The annular seal piece is of such a shape as to be deflected radially outwardly upon contact with the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion of a container. The annular contact piece is brought into contact with an annular boundary surface extending from an annular top surface to an annular outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion of the container when viewed arcuately in a sectional view. An annular thin-walled region positioned radially inwardly of the annular seal piece and the annular contact piece are further formed in the outer peripheral edge portion of the inner surface of the top panel wall.
