20140026836 | LINEAR SOLENOID - A housing is molded from a resin material, and a first flange portion of the bobbin forms a fusing protrusion, which is joined and fused with the housing. The housing includes through-holes, which are located on a radially inner side of the fusing protrusion and extends through a portion of the housing in the axial direction. A yoke includes at least one pressure reducing part, which is configured to reduce a pressure exerted to a projection of the bobbin by a flow of the resin material at a time of molding the housing. | 01-30-2014 |
20140028422 | LINEAR SOLENOID - A linear solenoid includes a collar, which limits relative movement between a first stationary core and a second stationary core. The first stationary core includes a bearing portion and a fixing portion, which are formed integrally as a single integral member. The bearing portion supports the shaft. The fixing portion is fixed to the yoke while the collar is clamped between the fixing portion and the second stationary core in the axial direction. | 01-30-2014 |
20140028423 | LINEAR SOLENOID - One axial end of a through-hole of a bearing portion of a first stationary core located on a movable core side has a peripheral edge placed at a corresponding axial position. The corresponding axial position of the peripheral edge may be the same as an axial position of an axial end surface of a radially outer part of the first stationary core or is on an axial side of the axial end surface, which is axially opposite from the movable core. A bottom portion of a yoke may have a hole, which receives at least a part of a second stationary core. A stopper made of a resin material may be placed on a side of the bottom portion of the yoke, which is opposite from the second stationary core in the axial direction. A shaft may be abuttable against the stopper. | 01-30-2014 |
