Abstract: A motor comprising a small case having at the center thereof a cylindrical bearing housing for housing a bearing, and at the edges thereof holes through which brush holders receiving and supporting motor terminals connected to brushes extend. A large case forming a motor housing, a earth plate comprising a base having at the central part thereof a contacting and mounting hole into which the bearing housing is inserted and press-fitted, a neck extending from the base flush therewith, an arm extending from the tip of the neck at right angles to the plane of the neck and being inserted into a motor terminal hole on one of the brush holders and a contacting curved portion for making electrical contact with the motor terminal. The earth plate is installed onto the small case by press-fitting the base from the outside to the bearing housing, and press-fitting the arm into the motor terminal hole so as to make electrical contact with the motor terminal.

Abstract: A motor having a housing comprising a case and a case cover, and bearings for supporting a motor rotating shaft fitted to the case and the case cover, respectively. The bearings are secured to the case and include a large diameter portion at one axial end having a diameter larger than the diameter of a bearing mounting hole in the case. The bearings also include a small diameter portion, provided at the other end thereof, which is extended continuously from the large diameter portion via a shoulder having such a diameter as to be fitted into the bearing mounting hole in the case. A recess is provided on the end face of the small diameter portion so as to permit a substantial increase the distance l between the bearings.

Abstract: A miniature motor comprising a hollow tubular-shaped large case having a magnet along the inner circumferential surface thereof, and a small case (end bell) fitted to the large case and having brush holders, made of a synthetic resin, and magnet retaining bosses making contact with the magnet; and characterized in that each of the brush holders has a boss insert hole into which the magnet retaining boss is press-fitted; one end of the magnet retaining boss being pushed by the magnet, at small case installation, causing the magnet retaining boss to be press-fitted into the boss insert hole, whereby the small case is fitted into the large case in a state where the end of the magnet retaining boss makes contact with the magnet.
