Abstract:
A brush-equipped motor, comprising:a rotor; a commutator provided at a side of the rotor; a stator provided around the rotor; a brush provided at a side of the stator; a reserve-brush provided at the side of the stator; and a brush exchanging mechanism having a projection, and a rotary body adapted to perform a turning operation, wherein a state of the brush-equipped motor is changed from a first state in which the brush is in contact with the commutator and the reserve-brush is spaced apart from the commutator, to a second state in which the brush is spaced apart from the commutator and the reserve-brush is in contact with the commutator, by the turning operation of the rotary body, wherein, the projection detaches the brush from the commutator by the turning operation.
