Abstract
A fixing device for a brush holder having a pair of leg pieces extending away from an upper surface of the brush holder. The leg pieces have fingers extending away from the free ends of the leg pieces and penetrating through holes in an attachment surface section of a holder stay. The fingers are bent onto a back face of the attachment surface section such that the bent fingers are oblique relative to a longitudinal axis of the brush holder, thereby preventing any backlash from occurring. The fixing device is formed by a two step bending process using first and second jigs.
