Abstract
A miniature electric motor comprises a housing, a cover plate fitted in an opening portion of the housing, a stator fixed to an inner circumferential surface of the housing, a rotor supported rotatably to one and the other bearing portions mounted on the housing and the cover plate, respectively, the rotor being disposed in the housing, and a brush holder holding brushes slidingly engaging with a commutator of the rotor, the brush holder being mounted on the cover plate. A first projection is formed in the vicinity of a center of the brush holder, and the first projection is forcibly pressed at a predetermined pressure against the cover plate. According to the present invention, without using any vibration proof elastic member, it is possible to reduce a noise of the miniature motor and keep the motor quiet. This motor is used for driving an air conditioner of an automobile, or the like.
