Abstract: Brushgear having brushes, each comprising a terminal and a brush arm, both made of electrically conductive metal strips and joined together into one piece, the brushes being held in position on a side plate of a motor case, made of a synthetic resin, by being inserted into terminal holes provided on the motor case side plate. The terminal and brush arm of each brush are made of different metal strips and a terminal strip of the terminal and a brush strip of the brush arm are mechanically joined together into one piece by folding joining members provided integrally with the terminal strip in such a manner as to wrap around an end of the brush strip provided on the brush arm. The joined portion of the terminal and brush strips are inserted into the terminal hole to hold the brush in position on the motor case side plate.
