A commutator motor brush mounting arrangement is arranged in an axial opening of an electric motor housing. The arrangement is provided with mounting bars which protrude axially from a support plate, the mounting bars being arranged at the interior of the motor housing. Hammer-shaped brush holders which are formed with half-open bearing shells are rotatably engaged with the mounting bars. Axial displacement of the brush holders in a first direction is prevented by the front plate, and in a second direction by an end plate. The end plate is provided with elastic openings for engaging posts arranged on the mounting bars in a self-locking manner. The support plate and the end plate are provided with respective complementary guide portions in the form of support ribs and corresponding depressions. Such guide portions rotatably secure the hammer-shaped brush holders to the mounting bars, so as to prevent canting and binding of the brush holders within the motor housing.
A commutator motor brush mounting arrangement, the arrangement being of the type which is secured to a housing of a commutator motor at a longitudinally axial opening therein, the longitudinally axial opening being arranged near a commutator of the commutator motor, the arrangement being provided with a front plate arranged substantially transverse to the longitudinally axial direction of the motor, the front plate being arranged at one end of a brush support plate and having mounting bars projecting axially parallel with the commutator of the commutator motor and disposed so as to be within the housing of the commutator motor when the arrangement is installed thereon, the arrangement being further provided with a plurality of hammer-shaped brush holders having open bearing shells which are rotatably engaged with, so as to depend from, respective ones of the mounting bars, the hammer-shaped brush holders being secured against axial displacement in one direction by being in contact with the front plate of the brush support plate, and rotatably displaceable about the mounting bars, the arrangement further comprising an end plate affixed to the brush support plate at the mounting bars, whereby predetermined portions of the hammer-shaped brush holders are arranged axially intermediate of the front and end plates, said end plate being provided with at least one guide portion for engaging said predetermined portion of a respective one of the hammer-shaped brush holders, said end plate securing the hammer-shaped brush holders from being displaced in a second axial direction.
