A permanent magnet D.C. electric motor includes a stator housing, permanent magnet structure, and an armature assembly. The armature assembly includes a shaft rotatably mounted in the stator housing, lamination structure, first and second coil windings associated with the lamination structure, a first commutator electrically connected with the first coil windings, and second commutator electrically connected with the second coil windings, each of the first and second commutators being generally cylindrical and having a plurality of commutator segments. Certain segments of the first commutator and certain segments of the second commutator are electrically connected. The motor also includes a brush card assembly including a high speed side having first brush structure associated with the first commutator, and a low speed side having a second brush structure associated with the second commutator, and switches for selectively connecting a D.C. voltage in such a way as to cause the armature assembly to rotate at a first speed and a second speed. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the invention is to fulfill the need referred to above.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, this objective is achieved by providing a permanent magnet D.
C.
electric motor including a stator housing; permanent magnet structure carried by the stator housing for creating a fixed magnetic flux field therein; an armature assembly installed in the stator housing, the armature assembly including a shaft rotatably mounted in the stator housing, lamination structure, first and second coil windings associated with the lamination structure, a first commutator electrically connected with the first coil winding, and a second commutator electrically connected with the second coil winding, each of the first and second commutators being generally cylindrical and having a plurality of commutator segments, commutator segments of the first commutator that are disposed 720/N degrees apart being electrically connected and commutator segments of the second commutator that are disposed 720/N degrees apart being electrically connected, wherein N is the number of magnetic poles of the motor and is an integer greater than 2.
The motor includes a brush card assembly with a high speed side having first brush structure operatively associated with the first commutator, and a low speed side opposite the high speed side.
The low speed side has a second brush structure operatively associated with the second commutator.
Due to electrically connecting commutator segments, fewer brushes are required to operate the motor at at least two different speeds.
Other objects, features and characteristics of the present invention, as well as the methods of operation and the functions of the related elements of the structure, the combination of parts and economics of manufacture will become more apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description and appended claims with reference to the accompanying drawings, all of which form a part of this specification.
