Patent ID: 7187095

Claim:
A motor comprising: a motor main body that includes a brush holder, wherein the brush holder has a connector arrangement that is directly connectable with an external connector to receive electric power, and the brush holder holds a plurality of power supply brushes; and a speed reducing unit that includes: a gear housing that is connected to the motor main body and includes a circuit member installation opening, wherein the installation opening opens in a direction away from the brush holder, a speed reducing mechanism that is received in the gear housing and decelerates rotation of the motor main body, wherein the speed reducing mechanism includes a worm shaft, which is driven by the motor main body, and a worm wheel, which is meshed with the worm shaft; and a control circuit member that is installed in the gear housing through the installation opening of the gear housing, wherein the control circuit member controls the rotation of the motor main body and is electrically connected to the connector arrangement and the power supply brushes, the control circuit member includes a plurality of connection terminals, each of which is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the connector arrangement and the power supply brushes; and the connection terminals of the control circuit member extend generally parallel to a rotational axis of the motor main body and are arranged generally parallel to one another in a direction that is perpendicular to a plane of the worm wheel.
