Abstract
A vehicle windshield wiper motor including an output shaft and an attachment device for attaching a mounting structure onto a tube, the attachment device including an attachment base and a plate. The base includes at least five attachment members for attaching parallel rods therebetween, three attachment members forming a first group being spaced around the output shaft of the motor, and two attachment members forming a second group being placed at a sufficient distance from at least one of the three attachment members of the first group to form a cavity capable of holding the tube, the cavity being closable by the plate. A mounting structure can mount such a windshield wiper motor.

A vehicle windshield wiper motor comprising:
- an output shaft;
- a device for fastening the output shaft onto a tube of a supporting structure, the fastening device comprising a fastening mount and a mounting plate,
- wherein the mount includes at least five fasteners with mutually parallel axes, at least three of the fasteners, which form a first group, being distributed about the output shaft of the motor, and at least two of the fasteners, which form a second group, being arranged a sufficient distance from at least one of the three fasteners of the first group to form a housing configured to house the tube, the housing configured to be closed by the mounting plate, and
- wherein the mounting plate, distinct from the tube of the supporting structure, is configured to be fastened at least at one point to the supporting structure and is fastened to the mount by at least two fasteners of the second group and at least one fastener of the first group so as to close the housing that accepts the tube.
