  • Patent number: 6717321
    Abstract: An electric motor comprising a rotor secured to a shaft, a stator comprising a cylindrical shell receiving at one at least of the ends a flange provided with a roller bearing for the rotor shaft, the flange being fixed to the cylindrical shell by a fixing means having a bayonet-type assembly, wherein the assembling of the flange onto the shell being achieved through a relative displacement in an axial translation and a rotary relative motion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 6, 2001
    Date of Patent: April 6, 2004
    Assignee: Meritor Light Vehicle Systems - France
    Inventors: Thierry Mademba-Sy, David Da Silva, Michel Lehir
  • Patent number: 6552465
    Abstract: An electric motor comprising a coiled rotor whose windings are energized by way of a commutator, a stator comprising a cylindrical shell in which is disposed a brush-carrying ring and an end flange fixed to the shell, the ring supporting two electrical supply brushes each associated with an elastic pressure member, each of the brushes and the respective elastic member being displaceable between a standby position, prior to the complete assemblage of the motor, in which the brush is separated from the commutator, and a working position, in which the brush bears on the commutator and the elastic member exerts a radial force on the brush directed towards the commutator. The flange comprises a projecting member corresponding to each brush, adapted so as to displace the brush and the respective elastic member from their standby position to their working position, when assembling the flange onto the shell.
