  • Patent number: 6815862
    Abstract: In a multilayer brush composed chiefly of copper and graphite and incorporated therein with a solid lubricant, which consists essentially of two types of brushes, a high-copper-content part brush containing the copper in a large quantity and a low-copper-content part brush containing the copper in a small quantity, at least the high-copper-content part brush contains zinc in an amount of from 0.1% by weight to 5% by weight, and the zinc and the copper form an alloy. This can provide a multilayer brush having a superior durability, which can prevent the performance of motors from lowering, without use of the harmful substance such as lead, and may less undergo any wear due to mechanical and electrical sparkling of the brush.

  • Patent number: 6674212
    Abstract: A sulfidation-resistant current-carrying member, such as a commutator, suitable for a direct-current motor in a fuel pump is provided. The current-carrying member for a direct-current motor in a fuel pump includes a commutator composed of a carbon layer having carbon as a principal component and forming a sliding surface at one end, and a metal carbon layer fixedly bound with the carbon layer at the other end and comprising 55 to 90 wt % of metal having brass as a principal component and a remaining portion having carbon as a principal component. By using brass as a primary metal component in the metal carbon layer, it is possible to achieve a commutator with superior resistance to sulfidation.
