Publication number: 20080048509Abstract: A duct member is disposed around outer peripheries of an engine and an engine-driven generator to define a continuous cooling-air passage between the duct member and the outer peripheries. A cooling fan is disposed in the cooling-air passage to generate a flow of cooling air from one end of the cooling-air passage to the other end during operation of the engine. An intake box is connected to one end of the cooling-air passage and has an air-intake port. A muffler box is connected to the other end of the cooling-air passage, has an air-discharge port, and accommodates an exhaust muffler of the engine. A sound-insulating housing is connected between the intake box and the muffler box to surround the duct member in order to insulate sound emitted from the duct member.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2007Publication date: February 28, 2008Inventors: Hiroko Murakami, Tadafumi Hirose, Taiyo Onodera

Publication number: 20080048507Abstract: In a wiper motor including a motor body and a reduction gear apparatus, an accommodating case is integrally provided on a brush holder provided to the motor body, and this accommodating case is disposed on an outer face of a gear case so as to project from a motor yoke. A noise-preventing element including a pair of choke coils and a bidirectional varistor is accommodated in the accommodating case, and the noise-preventing element is connected between a power-feeding terminal of a connector provided on the gear case and brushes. Noises acting on a power-feeding circuit are absorbed by the noise-preventing element and noises which have leaked to the outside via an opening portion of the motor yoke are absorbed by the noise-preventing element.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2007Publication date: February 28, 2008Applicant: MITSUBA CORPORATIONInventors: Satoshi Kanda, Shuichi Hatori

Publication number: 20080042500Abstract: The present invention relates to a shock-absorbent structure of motor, which includes an upper case and a lower case assembled for accommodation of a rotor to rotate therein. A shaft seat is formed on the upper case and the lower case respectively; a bearing is disposed in the shaft seat, and a shock-absorbent member serving to absorb and dampening shock is disposed between the shaft seat and the bearing. Therefore, when a spindle of the rotor is pivotally disposed in two bearings and rotated therein, the shock-absorbent member can absorb, isolate and dampen the vibration amplitude generated by rotation of the rotor and by attrition between the spindle and the bearing, thereby preventing the vibration amplitude from impacting the system and thus maintaining the normal efficacy and the operational life duration thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2006Publication date: February 21, 2008Applicant: Sunonwealth Electric Machine Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Alex Horng, Shih Chang Huang

Patent number: 7332846Abstract: A damping device for damping speed irregularities of a rotating shaft includes an armature having at least one armature part made of a non-ferromagnetic, electrically conductive material. An exciter configured to permeate the armature part in at least some regions with a magnetic flux. The armature, together with the at least one armature part, is movably supported relative to the exciter, transversely to the direction of the magnetic flux. In one region permeated by the magnetic flux in a position of normal use, the armature part has at least one opening in which a ferromagnetic flux-guide member is located.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: LuK Lamellen Kupplungsbau Beteiligungs KGInventor: Wolfgang Hill

Patent number: 7320542Abstract: A blender includes a base frame, a cover for covering the base frame, a muffler housing, a motor, and a fan. The base frame includes a hollow column having a compartment for receiving the motor. Two separating plates extend downward from a bottom end of the base frame. The motor includes a lower drive shaft for driving the fan for driving ambient cool air into the compartment of the hollow column via the apertures, thereby directly cooling the motor. The separating plates prevent the hot air exiting the blender from entering the blender again.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2004Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Inventor: Chun-Yu Tai
