Abstract
An O-ring seal configuration between a motor unit and a reduction gear head of a geared-motor is improved. An, O-ring holder is defined by a flange face of a bracket, which is fit to a frame of the motor unit and a guide groove, which is formed on an outer face 7d of a circular boss. A circular vertical wall of the frame has a specific excess height over the flange face; whereby when the reduction gear head is coupled to the motor unit, the guide groove and the circular vertical wall cooperatively prevents the O-ring from become dislodged and misaligned in the coupling face and from slipping off of the bracket.
