Abstract
Abstract A DC electric motor which comprises: a reversibly rotatable rotor having an armature core, an armature winding and a commutator; a stator having a yoke and a plurality of field poles provided on an inner circumference of the yoke and each having a permanent magnet and an auxiliary pole; and brush means including a plurality of brushes arranged to be slidably electrically conductively in contact with the commutator; in which the auxiliary pole of each of the field poles is disposed at an exit side of the field pole in the normal foward rotating direction of the rotor; each of the brushes is held movably between a first position corresponding to a position near a geometrically neutral point between a pair of adjacent field poles and a second position corresponding to a position separated at the maximum by an electrical angle of 90 degrees from the geometrically neutral point reversely to the normal rotating direction, and each of the brushes is fixed in the vicinity of the second position in normal use.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
A DC electric motor comprising: a rotor having an armature core, an armature winding and a commutator, and arranged to be selectively rotatable in one of a first direction and a second direction reverse to said first direction about a rotary axis; a stator having a yoke and a plurality of field poles provided on an inner circumference of said yoke, each of said field poles having a permanent magnet and an auxiliary pole disposed at an entry side of said field pole viewed in said first direction of rotation of said rotor; brush means including a plurality of brushes arranged for sliding movement on and in electrical contact with said commutator; and brush holding means for holding each of said brushes movable between a first position near a geometrically neutral point of a pair of adjacent field poles and a second position separated by an electrical angle within a range of 50 to 90 degrees from said geometrically neutral point in said first direction of rotation of said rotor, said brush holding means holding each of said brushes at said first position when said rotor is to be rotated in said first direction and at said second position when said rotor is to be rotated in said second direction.
