Abstract
An electric motor with integral attachment means includes two lever arms spaced equally about the circumference of the motor housing. The lever arms are hingeably connected to the motor housing and are rotatable between clamped and relaxed positions. An attachment foot located at the end of each lever releasably engages a mounting plate, thereby effecting the mounting and dismounting of the motor to the mounting plate. The lever arms are resilient and radially outwardly bowed in the relaxed state so that they can be locked in their clamped position by the snap action between the levers and radially-extending tabs on the motor housing. Feet of the lever arms engage mounting holes in a mounting plate and when in the locked position a heel element of each lever arm foot occupies a slot in the motor housing and thereby the foot of each lever arm resiliently applies a clamp force against the motor housing and the mounting plate.
