Abstract
Abstract A swing-type actuator has (a) a housing including a pair of yokes and a permanent magnet attached to at least one of the yokes opposing each other for defining a magnetic gap therebetween; and (b) a swingable arm having at one end a hold member encompassing a movable coil, such that the hold member and movable coil have essentially the same thickness and the movable coil is swingable in the magnetic gap, the arm and the hold member being integrally formed of a thermoplastic resin having a longitudinal modulus of 30×10 4 kg/cm 2 or more.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A swing-type actuator comprising: (a) a housing comprising a pair of yokes opposing each other and a permanent magnet attached to at least one of said yokes for defining a magnetic gap therebetween; (b) a coil having a periphery and a thickness for being movable through said magnetic gap; (c) a hold member encompassing the periphery of the movable coil, wherein said hold member and said movable coil have substantially the same thickness; and (d) a swingable arm having one end to which said hold member is fixed and the other end to which a function member is fixable, said movable coil being swingable by said arm in said magnetic gap, said arm and said hold member being integrally formed of a thermoplastic resin having a longitudinal modulus of 30×10 4 kg/cm 2 or more.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A swing-type actuator comprising: (a) a housing comprising a pair of yokes opposing each other and a permanent magnet attached to at least one of said yokes for defining a magnetic gap therebetween; (b) a coil having a periphery and a thickness for being movable through said magnetic gap; (c) a hold member encompassing the periphery of the movable coil, wherein said hold member and said movable coil have substantially the same thickness; and (d) a swingable arm having one end to which said hold member is fixed and the other end to which a function member is fixable, said movable coil being swingable by said arm in said magnetic gap, said arm and said hold member being integrally formed of a thermoplastic resin having a longitudinal modulus of 30×10 4 kg/cm 2 or more.
