Abstract: An electric rotating machine and a fan motor for vehicle are obtained, wherein variation width of current waveform resulting from occurrence of coils in a short circuit state is narrowed to reduce vibration and noise. A commutator 26 of the fan motor for vehicle comprises twelve segments 24, and a pair of positive/negative brushes are press-contacted to the commutator 26. Among the segments 24, at least one of pairs of segments that the brushes simultaneously contact have mutually different pitches. Therefore, timing when the coil in the short circuit state occurs at an armature and timing when the coil is released from the short circuit state of one brush deviate from those of the other brush temporally. Accordingly, the variation width of current waveform of electric current supplied to the coil connected to the pair of segments 24 narrows at least: As a result, the vibration of the electric rotating machine, variation of rotating torque, and the noise are considerably reduced, and life thereof is thus extended as well. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of constructing a polymer support frame (10) over which woven wire cloth (158,159) is to be stretched and secured to form a sifting screen is described. The method comprises the steps of locating a reinforcing wire frame assembly in a mould tool. The wire frame comprises two parallel spaced apart arrays of reinforcing wires (48,50,54,56,60,62,64). After closing the mould, liquid polymer is injected into the mould tool so as to wholly encapsulate the wire frame and to form an article having an open central region criss-crossed by intersecting orthogonal ribs (14,16) bounded on all sides by a rigid flange. Each of the ribs (14,16) contains two of the parallel spaced apart wires of the frame assembly. After permitting the polymer to cure, the tool is opened and the article is removed. The wire frame assembly is located and held in shape and position by applying an inward force on opposite faces of the wire frame assembly within the mould tool, by fingers protruding inwardly from inside faces of the tool. The fingers engage the wire matrices when the tool closes. The polymer is typically a glass-reinforced plastics material, and in order to assist in bonding the wire cloth to the support frame (10) the faces of peripheral edge regions of the support frame (10) over which woven cloth (158,159) is laid and to which the cloth (158,159) is to be bonded by heating, are formed during moulding with a plurality of substantially parallel ridges (30,32).
