20110057431	LUGGAGE SUPPORT HOOK FOR A SCOOTER-TYPE MOTORCYCLE, AND MOTORCYCLE INCORPORATING SAME - A luggage support hook is attached to a center tunnel immediately above a storage unit, which is provided at a rear portion of a leg shield of a saddle-type vehicle, in order to provide a degree of freedom in a manner of hooking a hanging strap of an article to be hung on the luggage support hook, and to retain luggage in a stable state during travel. The luggage support hook is formed in a substantially Y-shape, when viewed from a front side, by a base member attached to a recess portion, a plurality of first arms projecting radially from a rear end of the base member, and a second arm member projecting from a position of the rear end of the base member. The second arm member is different from the first arms.	03-10-2011
20110227311	FRONT STORAGE COMPARTMENT WITH WATER DRAINAGE CHANNEL FOR A VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE INCORPORATING SAME - A front storage compartment for a scooter-type vehicle includes a plate member mounted on a cover member covering a vehicle body of the vehicle. The plate member and the cover member jointly define an upwardly open storage unit therebetween. The cover member has a water drain hole formed therein for draining water from the storage unit. The water drain hole is located at a position below a floor panel which closes the bottom of the storage unit. The plate member has a lower extension for covering the water drain hole and the cover member, below the floor panel. A water channel for guiding water to the water drain hole is provided between the lower extension of the plate member and the cover member. Such front storage compartment structure reduces an amount of water seeping out to the surface of the cover member.	09-22-2011

20090167120	COOLING FAN BUILT INTO ROTOR - A cooling fan includes a fan ring to be attached to an end surface of a rotor core near the outer circumference thereof, and a plurality of fins connected to the fan ring. The fan ring has positioning leg portions provided on an end surface thereof facing a thrust direction. The fan ring is positioned in relation to the rotor core through insertion of the positioning leg portions into core slots of the rotor core. The fan ring has wire accommodation recesses which are formed on the end surface of the fan ring facing the thrust direction and communicate with the core slots.	07-02-2009
20100084941	MINIATURE MOTOR, AND ITS MANUFACTURING METHOD - A type-A winding represented by a triangle of solid lines is connected to commutator segments such that its one end is connected to an arbitrary commutator segment and its other end is connected to a commutator segment adjacent to the arbitrary commutator segment. A type-B winding represented by a diamond of broken lines is connected to commutator segments such that its one end is connected to a commutator segment located radially opposite to a usual adjacent commutator segment. The type-A windings and the type-B windings are used in combination. One short circuit wire is used for every short circuit connection of radially opposed commutator segments. A total number of the short circuit wires is half (5) the number (10) of commutator segments. Thus, the number of electric wires hooked at every commutator segment can be reduced to two or less. Also, continuous winding by use of one or two wires is possible.	04-08-2010
