Seal for pump

A plunger seal (1) for a pump, which is used for a fuel injection pump for a direct-injection gasoline engine, in which, even if a resin material is used as a fuel seal member (12), the plunger seal can be made compact, sealing ability is increased, and assembling man-hours can be reduced, and in which set sealing performance can be achieved when a U-shaped elastic member (33) for applying an urging force is used in a groove (41) formed in the fuel seal member (12). The resin fuel seal member (12) and an oil seal member (13) are assembled to form one seal system. Further, when the U-shaped elastic member (33) is installed in the groove (41), the axial position (L1) of an end surface (44a) that is on the side opposite the side to be sealed and belongs to a flange (44) for fixation formed on the inner peripheral surface of the groove (41) is positioned more on the side (B) opposite the side to be sealed than the axial position (L2) of a head section (15b) of a seal lip (15) of the fuel seal member (12).

Switch

The invention provides a compact switch in which a contact can instantaneously be opened and closed while the number of components and assembly man-hour are decreased. The switch includes a support terminal (21) which is assembled in a base (10); a movable contact piece (30) which is made of a belt-like electroconductive material bent into a substantial J-shape in section, the movable contact piece including a movable contact (31) provided in one end portion thereof, an intermediate portion of the movable contact piece being turnably supported by a turning support portion (24) of the support terminal (21); a plunger (40) which is accommodated in an internal space while being able to be vertically moved, the internal space being formed by fitting a housing (60) in the base (10); and a coil spring (50) which is turnably supported by the plunger (40). The plunger (40) is slid while vertically moved to press-contact one end portion (51) of the coil spring (50) against the other end edge portion of the movable contact piece (30), whereby the movable contact piece (30) is reversed to bring the movable contact (31) into contact with a fixed contact (26) or to separate the movable contact (31) from the fixed contact (26).

Motor and electronic apparatus having the same

The motor of the invention is an outer rotor type motor, and a rotor includes a cylindrical rotor frame that is opened at one end thereof in an axial direction, and a hollow cylindrical magnet attached to an inner periphery of the rotor frame. The magnet has a joining portion joined to an inside cylindrical portion of the rotor frame, and a protruding portion that further protrudes in the axial direction from one end, the outer diameter of the protruding portion is larger than the inner diameter of the rotor frame, and the joining portion is directly brought into close contact with a portion ranging from the one end to at least a portion of the inside cylindrical portion.

Lighting system

The invention provides a lighting system, aims to reduce the weight of the lighting system. A headlight (20) includes a first lighting apparatus (51) including a light source (61) covered with a housing (62) and an annular second lighting apparatus (52) disposed around the housing (62). In the headlight (20), the second lighting apparatus (52) is supported by an annularly formed annular stay (65) that is supported by the housing (62) and includes a plurality of light-emitting elements (54) disposed annularly so as to be radially spaced apart from an outer periphery of the first lighting apparatus (51) in a front view. The second lighting apparatus (52) is supported by the housing (62). This eliminates the need for using a housing for the exclusive use for supporting the second lighting apparatus (52). This promotes reduction in weight of the headlight (20).

Hybrid drive assembly for motor vehicle

The invention relates to a hybrid drive assembly (1, 16) for a motor vehicle. The hybrid drive assembly comprises a rotor (3), a stator (4), housings (5, 17), and a shaft, wherein the rotor (3), the stator (4) and the shaft are concentrically arranged, the housing (5, 17) comprise casing regions (7, 19) and side walls (8, 22) and a shaft holder (9), the shaft has penetrated or can penetrate through the shaft holder (9), the housing (5, 17) at least comprises coolant lines (10, 20) for cooling the stator (4). The high assemble cost of the hybrid drive assembly (1,16) is prevented by the following ways: the housings (5, 17) comprise the shaft and rotor brackets (11,23), wherein the shaft and the rotor brackets (11,23) form the shaft holder (9), and the rotor (3) can be operably supported on the outer sides of the shaft and the rotor brackets (11,23).
