A frame that has a central opening through it for the commutator of an electric motor is provided with a pair of brush housings, each having a passage therethrough in which a brush is slidable. One side of each housing is provided with a longitudinal slot, beside which a stud projects from the frame. The central coil of a torsion spring encircles the stud and has end portions extending laterally toward the housing, with the free ends of the spring biased toward each other. One end of the spring engages an abutment at the inner end of the housing and the opposite end of the spring extends through the housing slot and into a notch in the side of the brush to hold the brush retracted in the housing passage until the end of the spring is removed from the notch and placed against the outer end of the brush to move the inner end of the brush into commutator-engaging position.

Electric motor brush holder

A tool is disclosed for attaching slotted weights to a fishing line. The tool has a base having a channel and an opening for insertion of the fishing line traversing the channel. An abutment across the channel is located adjacent to the opening. A transfer block is slidably mounted within the channel in the body. The transfer block urges a slotted weight against the abutment to close the slot and attach the weight to the line. Means are provided for moving the transfer block within the channel in the base. The tool also includes a reservoir for storage of a plurality of slotted weights and discharging individual weights into the channel. The reservoir is preferably tubular with a single flat surface for maintaining the weights in proper orientation with a flat orienting surface opposite the slot. The tool also includes a weight removal device attached to be moved with the transfer block, which device opens the slot in the weight and removes the weight from the line.
