Patent ID: 6967419

Claim:
A motor comprising a rotor and a stator, arranged between an internal combustion engine and a transmission for a hybrid vehicle, the rotor comprising: a drive plate which connects a crank shaft of said engine to said transmission; a rotor base section mounted on said drive plate orthogonal to an axis of said crank shaft, and a plurality of magnets having pole faces facing in a direction along said axis mounted on said rotor base section; and the stator comprising: a plurality of conductive coils arranged so as to face the magnets of said rotor in a direction along said axis, wherein: mounting sections for the magnets on said rotor base section are highly rigid sections having a predetermined rigidity, and non-mounting sections of the rotor base section where the magnets are not mounted are resilient sections allowing a predetermined elastic deformation, wherein the mounting sections and the non-mounting sections are arranged in alternation with each other.
