Abstract
A commutator end bracket formed from a singular piece of sheet metal. The bracket is formed to include bases for mounting the commutator end bracket to a motor. Windows are punched into side pieces of the bracket for receiving brushes for communication with a commutator. The brushes are retained by a clip received within channels formed along the edges of the side pieces. A bearing is received within a housing drawn from a top plate of the bracket. The bearing is maintained within the housing by means of a spring clip which mates with portions of the top plate.
