Abstract
An electric motor, especially an electric, small-power motor for driving wiper systems of motor vehicles, in which an electronics housing (50) is arranged beside a motor housing (10) by affixing the electronics housing to a central bulge (13) on the bottom (12) of the motor housing (10).
Claims15
An electric motor for driving wiper systems of motor vehicles comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical motor housing having a longitudinal axis and a bottom with a bulge extending outward from said bottom of said motor housing and aligned with said axis of said motor housing;
- an electronics housing positioned beside said motor housing;
- and means extending between said electronics housing and said bulge including an eye for attaching said electronics housing to said motor housing.
An electric motor for driving wiper systems of motor vehicles comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical motor housing having a longitudinal axis and a bottom with a bulge extending outward from said bottom of said motor housing and aligned with said axis of said motor housing;
- an electronics housing positioned beside said motor housing;
- means extending between said electronics housing and said bulge for attaching said electronics housing to said motor housing;
- a gear housing disposed substantially perpendicular to said axis of said motor housing;
- a tongue on said gear housing extending alongside said motor housing and attached to said electronics housing;
- a plastic member carried on said tongue;
- a plurality of plugs carried by said plastic member;
