An object of the invention is to improve a layout property of members arranged on the brush holder. Power feeding terminals are formed in a flat shape extending in an axial direction of an armature shaft, and the power feeding terminal is arranged side by side in a width direction with respect to the power feeding terminal in one end portion of a brush holder. A condenser is provided between the power feeding terminals and the armature shaft. Further, a power supply circuit for electrically connecting the power feeding terminals to a leaf spring brush is electrically connected to a motor housing via a grounding stay, and a choke coil for reducing a noise generated in the power supply circuit is arranged so as to be lapped over a screw member fixing the leaf spring brush to the brush holder in the axial direction of the armature shaft.

Electric motor

The invention provides to make an automatic opening and closing apparatus for a vehicle to be thin. An outer rack is attached to an outer side of a stay fixed to a vehicle in such a manner as to freely move in an axial direction along the stay. A thickness of the stay is set to be smaller than a width, and a cross sectional shape thereof is formed so as to be in a substantially thin convex shape. A width in a base end wall portion of the outer rack is formed so as to be larger than a width of a side surface wall portion corresponding to a thickness of the outer rack, and the outer rack is formed in a substantially thin C cross sectional shape. It is possible to make a thickness of a slide mechanism about a gear with of rack gears lined up in an axial direction in the side surface wall portion by making the width of the side surface wall portion slightly larger than the gear width of the rack gear.

Automatic opening and closing apparatus for vehicle

An appearance of a vehicle is improved by reducing an opening formed in an interior trim for vehicle. An actuator unit is mounted in a pillar of the vehicle, and a linking rod is linked to a rack bar, which linearly reciprocates along an axial direction provided at this actuator unit. This linking rod protrudes from the pillar through the opening formed in an interior trim, and the other end thereof is linked to a back door. Moreover, this actuator unit is disposed so that a moving direction of the rack bar inclines on a vehicle-rear side by an opening/closing inclination angle &agr; with respect to a direction perpendicular to the vehicle and inclines inward in a vehicle-width direction by a width inclination angle.

Automatically opening and closing system for vehicle

Improving layout characteristics of a detecting switch with respect to a control board to miniaturize an electric actuator. Switch-side connecting terminals are provided in a limit switch constituting a panel-position detecting mechanism, which is fixed to an outer face of a motor cover. Meanwhile, board-side connecting terminals having connecting portions to be terminal-connected to the switch-side connecting terminals are fixed to the control board, and the control board is disposed inside the motor cover and is fixed in a board case. By moving the limit switch toward the connecting portions, the switch-side connecting terminals and the connecting portions are connected, whereby the limit switch and the control board are connected.
