                                   THE INVENTION                                      
               The invention relates to a motor for an air conditioning               
          blower fan.  Representative claim 1 reads as follows:                       
               1.  A motor for driving a blower fan comprising:                       
                    a cylindrical case body having a front end opening                
               portion and a rear end opening portion;                                
                    a rear end plate fixed on the rear end opening                    
               portion of the case body, the rear end plate having a                  
               first bearing;                                                         
                    a front end plate fixed on the front end opening                  
               portion of the case body, the front end plate having a                 
               second bearing;                                                        
                    a rotary drive shaft inserted into the central                    
               portion of the case body, the rotary drive shaft whose                 
               rear end portion is rotatably supported on the rear end                
               plate through the first bearing and whose forward                      
               middle portion is rotatably supported on the front end                 
               plate through the second bearing;                                      
                    a rotor fixed on the middle portion of the rotary                 
               drive shaft;                                                           
                    a stator fixed on the inner circumferential                       
               surface of the case body to face to the outer                          
               circumferential surface of the rotor; and                              
                    a reinforcing portion provided in the vicinity of                 
               an end portion of the stator,                                          
                    wherein the reinforcing portion includes a ring                   
               portion and a cylinder portion extending from an outer                 
               peripheral edge of the ring portion.                                   






                                          2
