Abstract
Abstract A rotor for a synchronous motor including a bar magnet with a cross-section that is circular, square, square with beveled corners, etc., is inside the hollow central part of a plastic resin support which has been molded over the magnet, and which has windows formed in the support providing access to the magnet. The motor shaft projects from the ends of the support, and may either be molded with the support or may be inserted into the ends of the support, and a drive gear may be formed in one end of the shaft. The invention avoids the need for forming holes in the magnet for the shaft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A rotor for a motor comprising: a support, the support having first and second opposite ends for mounting the support within a motor and having a central portion between the first and second opposite ends, the support being rotatable around an axis in relation to the motor, the central portion having an internal opening; and a magnet lacking holes therein for connecting the magnet to the support mounted in the opening in the central portion of the support, the magnet having first and second end surfaces disposed toward the first and second opposite ends of the support, respectively, the support supporting the magnet by abutting the magnet and without requiring holes in the magnet to support it, at least the central portion of the support comprising an outer covering of synthetic resin formed upon the magnet, the outer covering entirely covering the first and second flat end surfaces of the magnet and the outer covering over the side peripheral surface of the magnet having windows defined in it, giving access to the magnet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The rotor of claim 1 in which the first and second end surfaces of the magnet are flat and parallel, the magnet having a side peripheral surface joining the flat end surfaces and perpendicular to the flat end surfaces.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The rotor of claim 2 in which the side peripheral surface of the magnet has a circular cross-section.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
The rotor of claim 7 in which the first and second shaft sections are pressure molded into the central portion of the support.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
23 words
The rotor of claim 7 in which the first and second shaft sections are insert molded into the central portion of the support.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
30 words
The rotor of claim 7 in which the first and second shaft sections are formed of a material different from that which the central portion of the support is formed.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
21 words
The rotor of claim 7 in which at least one of the first and second shaft sections comprises a drive gear.
