Abstract
The support (6) comprises a moving brush (7) and means (10) for returning the brush so as to keep it in contact with the commutator (4) of the machine. The support (6) comprises clip-in means (13) for fastening the support to the housing (1) of the machine by clipping-in substantially radially to the axis (8) of the housing, and for separating it from this housing by substantially radial unclipping. The support can be easily removed and refitted for replacing the brush or cleaning the commutator.
