Abstract

This brush holder assembly for an electric machine includes a bearing-forming metal end cap (26) intended to be mounted on a carcass of the machine, and a set of members (28, 30, 32, 34) for electrical connection of the brushes mounted on the end cap (26) by means of rivets (50, 52) which each include a shank extending from one of the pieces consisting of the end cap and one of the members, passing through an orifice formed in the other piece and folded over against the latter. The shank is made of the same material as the piece from which it extends and includes a closed head.
