Abstract
Abstract In the rotor of a magneto generator, which has a magnet for generating electric power, the mechanical strength of the rotor is born by a metal core, and the metal core is connected to a resin molded disk by insert molding. The rotor is light and can bear the centrifugal force of high-speed revolution.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator comprising: a magnet for generating electric power; a metal core made of a ferromagnetic substance for supporting the mechanical strength; a holding means formed on said metal core for holding said magnet; a first pole portion integrally formed with said metal core, said first pole portion being formed on and extended from a first receiving portion of said holding portion where one pole of said magnet is received; a second pole portion integrally formed with said metal core, said second portion being formed on and extended from a second receiving portion of said holding means where another pole of said magnet is received; a pair of bridges formed with said metal core and arranged side-by-side for connecting said first receiving portion with said second receiving portion, said bridges being narrowly dimensioned such that they will be immediately saturated by magnetic flux thereby prohibiting any additional magnetic flux from entering said bridges; and a molded resin disk connected to said metal core by insert molding to give the rotor a circular shape.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
179 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator comprising: a magnet for generating electric power; a metal core made of a ferromagnetic substance for supporting the mechanical strength; a holding means formed on said metal core for holding said magnet; a first pole portion integrally formed with said metal core, said first pole portion being formed on and extended from a first receiving portion of said holding portion where one pole of said magnet is received; a second pole portion integrally formed with said metal core, said second portion being formed on and extended from a second receiving portion of said holding means where another pole of said magnet is received; a pair of bridges formed with said metal core and arranged side-by-side for connecting said first receiving portion with said second receiving portion, said bridges being narrowly dimensioned such that they will be immediately saturated by magnetic flux thereby prohibiting any additional magnetic flux from entering said bridges; and a molded resin disk connected to said metal core by insert molding to give the rotor a circular shape.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
91 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator according to claim 1, wherein said first pole portion is formed integrally on said first receiving portion of said holding means where one pole of the magnet is received, and said second pole portion consists of a pair of members that extend laterally from said second receiving portion of said holding means where another pole of said magnet is received, said first pole portion being positioned between said pair of members of second pole portions on the periphery of said molded resin disk.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator according to claim 1, wherein said core is made of laminated steel plates, and said holding portion for holding said magnet comprises an opening formed in said laminated steel plates.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator according to claim 3, wherein the axial dimension of said magnet is larger than the thickness of said laminated core, and the top of the magnet projects on at least one end surface of said core.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator according to claim 3, wherein said laminated core is integrally provided with a balance weight.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator according to claim 3, wherein said laminated core has holes for regulating the balance weight.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator according to claim 1, wherein said rotor further includes a boss member with a tapered hole for fastening said rotor onto a tapered portion of a crankshaft of an engine.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator according to claim 7, wherein a key is inserted between said boss member and said crankshaft for positioning said rotor in a circular direction.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator according to claim 1, wherein said molded disk is integrally provided with fans for cooling an engine.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
45 words
A resin molded rotor for a magneto generator according to claim 3, wherein the rotor further includes a boss member made of metal or an alloy material with a tapered hole for fastening the rotor onto a tapered portion of a crankshaft of an engine.
