Abstract: A cylindrical member 93 is provided with a pair of slits 93a, 93b extending in the axial direction of the cylindrical member 93. The opening widths of the pair of slits 93a, 93b in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical member 93 are narrower on the outside (opening widths W2, W4) of the cylindrical member 93 than on the inside (opening widths W1, W3) thereof. This makes it possible to prevent rainwater and the like from reaching a communication hole 91 inside the cylindrical member 93 and quickly discharge the rainwater and the like intruded into the inside of the cylindrical member 93 to the outside of the cylindrical member 93. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively prevent the rainwater and the like from intruding into the inside (hollow portion) of a gear cover 80, thereby enabling to improve a water exposure reliability.

Abstract: In a brushless motor including a stator core and a rotor which rotates with respect to the stator core, a coil support wall supports a coil wound around a core main body part from a radially inner side of the core main body part. A first wall part and a second wall part constituting the coil support wall are connected to each other at an angle at a portion of a tooth tip part protruding from a tooth main body part along a circumferential direction of the core main body part, and a thickness dimension of the second wall part is equal to or larger than a thickness dimension of the first wall part along a radial direction of the core main body part.
