Abstract
A DC brush motor includes an armature fixed to a shaft for unitary rotation with the shaft. The shaft is rotatably supported with respect to a case by way of a pair of bearings. The armature is made up of a core, a coil winding, and a resin-made supporting member for supporting the core with the core rotating together with the shaft. The supporting member has a concave or recessed portion for receiving a boss of the case. Several commutator segments forming a commutator are arranged along the inner periphery of the recessed portion. A brush is held in a brush holder and is biased outwardly by the biasing force of a coil spring to contact a brush contact portion of the brush.
