Abstract
The present invention provides a brush holder assembly enabling a common brush holder frame to be used regardless of the direction in which a lead is to pass out, improving productivity and preventing decreases in quality due to the incorrect mounting of parts, etc. A plurality of brush holder frames are secured to a base such that the openings of respective brush receiving recesses face a passage and the axes of the brush receiving recesses are directed towards the central axis of the passage. Lead outlet grooves are disposed in both sides of each of the brush holder frames so that each extends from a first end towards a second end and joins the respective brush receiving recess to the outside. Brushes are inserted into the brush receiving recesses so that leads attached to the side thereof pass through one of the lead outlet grooves in said brush holder frames and are held by each of the brush holder frames.
