Abstract: A miniature D.C. motor for a toy allows the arrangement of a brush base in a housing of the motor to be readily and positively positioned to improve the manufacturing efficiency of the motor and to ensure the actuation of the motor without trouble for a long period of time.The motor includes a housing, a brush base which holds brushes therein and which detachably fits in the housing, and a detachable connection member for permitting a connection between the housing and the brush base. A motor further includes a commutator having an outer end formed into a truncated conical shape, wherein the brushes each are provided with a contact section having a convexly curved surface, to allow the outer end of the commutator to be pressedly interposed between the convexly curved surfaces of the brushes.
