          Appeal No. 1999-0893                                                        
          Application No. 08/683,236                                                  


          stator yoke teeth are mounted side by side in the direction of              
          the fixed shaft with each of the first and second inner and                 
          outer stator yokes having a magnet set between them.  A barrel              
          shaped rotor is rotatably supported on the bearing and a                    
          plurality of rotor teeth of the same shape and pitch are                    
          provided on the outer and inner circumference of the rotor.                 
               Claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                                      
          1.   A hybrid-type stepping motor comprising a bearing mounted              
          on a fixed shaft, a barrel rotor rotatably supported by the                 
          bearing, a plurality of rotor teeth provided on the outer                   
          circumference and inner circumference of the barrel rotor,                  
          first and second inner stator yokes arranged side by side in                
          the direction of the fixed shaft with a magnet set                          
          therebetween and first and second outer stator yokes arranged               
          side by side in the direction of the fixed shaft with the                   
          magnet set therebetween, a plurality of stator yoke teeth,                  
          first through fourth axially centered circular coils slots                  
          facing the barrel rotor and formed around the outer                         
          circumference of the first and second inner stator yokes and                
          the inner circumference of the first and second outer stator                
          yokes, and first through fourth coils wound in a solenoid                   
          fashion and seated in the respective coil slots, whereby the                
          stator yokes alternate in polarity and the barrel rotor is                  
          interposed between the coils;                                               
               wherein said magnet set comprises a first magnet                       
          interposed between the fixed shaft and the inner stator yokes               
          and a second magnet interposed between the outer stator yokes               
          and the outer wall of the fixed shaft, whereby the magnets                  
          face towards each other via the barrel rotor; and                           
               wherein the plurality of rotor teeth provided on the                   
          outer and inner circumference of the barrel rotor are of the                

                                          2
