Abstract

Abstract In an axial gap type coreless electric motor, a frame bracket (16), which is disposed facing a field magnet (12) with a rotary armature (14) inserted in between, has radial ribs (19) formed outside thereof and disposed radially from a central part to a peripheral part of the frame bracket. The ribs are tapered, with their heights and widths gradually narrowed from the center part to the peripheral parts of the frame bracket.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 94 words
An axial gap type coreless electric motor comprising: a flat disk type coreless armature rotatably disposed with a small gap against a field magnet, a frame bracket which serves as a magnetic yoke and is disposed on an opposite side of said armature against said field magnet with a predetermined small gap in between, said frame bracket having radial ribs formed radially on the outer face of said frame bracket, and centering around a rotor shaft which is connected with said armature, wherein said ribs are disposed over non-magnetized parts of said field magnet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 94 words
An axial gap type coreless electric motor comprising: a flat disk type coreless armature rotatably disposed with a small gap against a field magnet, a frame bracket which serves as a magnetic yoke and is disposed on an opposite side of said armature against said field magnet with a predetermined small gap in between, said frame bracket having radial ribs formed radially on the outer face of said frame bracket, and centering around a rotor shaft which is connected with said armature, wherein said ribs are disposed over non-magnetized parts of said field magnet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 119 words
An axial gap type coreless electric motor comprising: a flat disk type coreless armature rotatably disposed with a small gap against a field magnet, a frame bracket which serves as a magnetic yoke and is disposed on an opposite side of said armature against said field magnet with a predetermined small gap in between, said frame bracket having radial ribs formed radially on the outer face of said frame bracket, and centering around a rotor shaft which is connected with said armature, wherein said ribs are disposed over non-magnetized parts of said field magnet and include sub-ribs which are also disposed radially between said radial ribs, hence, over parts of center lines of magnet poles of said field magnet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 119 words
An axial gap type coreless electric motor comprising: a flat disk type coreless armature rotatably disposed with a small gap against a field magnet, a frame bracket which serves as a magnetic yoke and is disposed on an opposite side of said armature against said field magnet with a predetermined small gap in between, said frame bracket having radial ribs formed radially on the outer face of said frame bracket, and centering around a rotor shaft which is connected with said armature, wherein said ribs are disposed over non-magnetized parts of said field magnet and include sub-ribs which are also disposed radially between said radial ribs, hence, over parts of center lines of magnet poles of said field magnet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 37 words
An axial gap type coreless electric motor in accordance with claim 1 or claim 2, wherein: said ribs are tapered with their widths gradually narrowed from a center part to a peripheral part of said frame bracket.
