1. A speed reduction motor comprising:
- a motor for producing rotation, including a stator and a rotor;
gear means for reducing and transmitting said rotation, including a first gear formed on a front end portion of said rotor, an intermediate gear member having a second gear meshed with said first gear, an intermediate gear shaft to which said second gear is secured, a third gear formed on said intermediate gear shaft, and a fourth gear meshed with said third gear;
an output shaft for outputting rotation reduced and transmitted through said gear means from said motor, said fourth gear being secured to said output shaft;
a gear casing for accommodating said gear means therein, including a rear gear bracket part for supporting the front end portion of said rotor and rear end portions of said intermediate gear shaft and said output shaft, and a main body for supporting front end portions of said intermediate gear shaft and said output shaft, said rear gear bracket part being formed integrally with said main body part as a single integral member; and
an opening portion through which said intermediate gear member and said fourth gear are accommodated within said gear casing, said opening portion being provided on said main body part, wherein said main body part includes a boss for supporting the front end portion of said intermediate gear shaft through a bearing, said boss having a notch, through which the front end portion of said intermediate gear shaft passes, at a portion facing said opening portion, said notch communicating with an inner side of said boss portion.

Abstract
In a speed reduction motor comprising a motor and a speed reduction device connected to the motor for the purpose of reducing and transmitting rotation therethrough, a gear casing for housing gears of the speed reduction device is formed integrally with a rear gear bracket and a stator frame, so that the number of working steps are reduced and alignment of the gears is enhanced with high accuracy. Further, an opening portion is provided on an outer circumference of the gear casing through which the gears can be installed with ease of assembly.
