Patent ID: 6969933

Claim:
An electrical motor having a shaft having an axis, said electrical motor comprising: a motor housing having a pair of permanent magnets situated in opposed relation therein; a rotor situated on said shaft between said pair of permanent magnets; said rotor comprising a plurality of windings situated thereon; a commutator for passing current to said plurality of windings; a printed circuit board comprising a circuit for controlling said motor; said printed circuit board being generally planar and lying in a first plane that bisects said axis to define at least one predetermined angle that is acute; a pair of brushes situated in a brush housing in operative relationship with said commutator; a pair of conductors coupling said pair of brushes to said printed circuit board; and a plurality of terminals situated on said printed circuit board for coupling said circuit to a power source, the brush housing further comprises a circuit board mounting area for receiving said circuit board such that when said brush housing is mounted on said motor housing, said circuit board is oriented at said at least one predetermined angle.
