<p>A dust guard 50 for a universal motor has a body 52 with an aperture 54 for press-fit mounting to a brush holder. A hood 56 extends from the body 52 to give the dust guard a cup-like shape. The edge of the hood is shaped to follow a commutator surface. The hood 56 has a passageway 62 in each lateral side 58 for drawing dust laden air into the flow of cooling air for the motor. Air guides 66 formed on the outside of the dust guard adjacent the exits of the passageways assist in drawing out the dust laden air from the interior of the hood. Oil reservoirs 70 form dust collection sites within the dust guard. The oil reservoirs comprise recesses 72 filled with closely spaced projections 74 to retain oil in the recesses by capillary action. <IMAGE></p> |
