摘要:
A device for supporting and electrically contacting brushes, with which an electrical loop contact can be established with slip-rings on a shaft of a current generator or an electric motor. The device includes a support having a support base and a plurality of pins fastened thereto, through which at least one brush can be connected supportively with the support base. The device has at least one current distributor which can be electrically contacted in a short-circuiting manner with at least two brushes and can be connected to at least one electrical connection line. More than one of the pins function as an electrical contact pin with a contact surface and are integral components of at least one current distributor, so that at least one brush can be connected supportively through it and electrically contacted. The supporting base is electrically insulated at least in regions of connecting locations to the contact pins.
