Patent ID: 7579730

Claim:
A motor comprising: a motor main body that includes a brush holder, which holds a plurality of power supply brushes; a gear housing that receives a speed reducing mechanism, which reduces a speed of rotation generated in the motor main body and outputs the rotation of the reduced speed; a control circuit member that includes: a drive control IC, which controls the rotation of the motor main body; and a base, which holds a plurality of terminals that electrically connects between the drive control IC and the plurality of power supply brushes of the brush holder, wherein the base is supported by the brush holder and is at least partially planar along the brush holder in a direction generally perpendicular to a rotational axis of the motor main body; and a rotation sensor, which senses the rotations of the motor main body, wherein: the rotation sensor is held by the base; the base includes an extension piece, which hold the rotation sensor at a distal end thereof; and the extension piece is curved in an imaginary plane that is generally perpendicular to the rotational axis of the motor main body to bypass a screw, which is used to connect between the motor main body and the gear housing.
