| 20110203073 | BRUSH ROLL OF A VACUUM CLEANER - A vacuum cleaner has a brush roll which has a housing. A motor is disposed within the housing and has a pulley mounted on a shaft of the motor. A roller is disposed within the housing and has a drive wheel. A belt couples the pulley to the drive wheel, so that the motor can drive the roller. The roller has bristles for sweeping a surface to be cleaned. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110147144 | MOTOR AND ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM - A motor for actuating brake members of an electric parking (EPB) system, comprises a stator and a rotor rotatably mounted to the stator. The rotor comprises a shaft, a commutator, a rotor core fixed to the shaft, and rotor windings wound about teeth of the rotor core and electrically connected to segments of the commutator. The rotor windings comprise a plurality of winding units, each of the wining units comprising at least two coils. The coils of each winding unit are wound about the same teeth and connected to a same pair of segments. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110101704 | Starter - A starter comprises: an electric motor with an enclosure; a gear train mounted to one end of the motor; and a switch module for controlling operation of the motor. The switch module has an enclosure. The enclosure of the switch module and the enclosure of the motor are integrally formed as a single housing. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110089789 | MOTOR DRIVE DEVICE - A motor drive device comprises a motor, a gearbox mounted to the motor and a control module. The gearbox comprises a gearbox housing that has an opening facing the motor. The motor has a shaft that extends into the gearbox housing through the opening to drive a worm gear of the gearbox. The control module has a PCB mounted to the gearbox and most of the PCB is accommodated in the opening of the gearbox housing. The PCB extends in a plane substantially parallel to the shaft. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20100013614 | HAPTIC SOLENOID SYSTEM - A supporting surface and a touch screen member mounted to a plastic frame having a first vibration transmitting slot and at least two mounting slots. A pair of similar L-shaped poles is mounted in the frame in juxtaposition to define gaps between them. One of the poles constitutes a stationary pole and the other of the poles constitutes a movable pole. A winding is mounted on the stationary pole. The frame defines a vibration transmitting slot, and the touch screen member is attached to the frame by a tab that is press fitted into the vibration transmitting slot so that vibrations created by the movable pole can be transmitted via the vibration transmitting slot to the touch screen member. The additional slots defined by the frame and tabs defined by the supporting surface mutually coact for mounting the frame to the supporting member in a stationary position. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20090245958 | POWER TOOL - An electric drill has a handle, a body and a drill chuck. The handle is provided with a battery and a switch. The body comprising a shell, a motor fixed in the shell and an impeller fixed to an axle or shaft of the motor. The shell is provided with a plurality of air outlets at a position corresponding to the impeller, the impeller being able to rotate with the axle of the motor to produce an air current to cool the motor. An enclosure of the battery is provided with a plurality of through holes. An air current channel is formed inside the handle and the body and connected to the environment via the through holes of the battery enclosure. A heat dissipating device is located in the air current channel and contacts the switch. A part of the cooling air current passes through the air current channel to cool the battery before getting to the motor. Thus, a part of the cooling air current can cool the battery and the switch before cooling the motor, so as to prevent the battery and the switch from overheating and shortening their service life. | 10-01-2009 |
