Definitions
- This invention relates generally to multi-functional apparatuses and more specifically to a multi-functional apparatus for use in an automotive vehicle employing multiple tracks.
- a window wiper assembly for cleaning rear windows of automotive vehicles.
- these types of rear window wiper assemblies include a wiper blade mounted upon a bracket which is coupled to a wiper arm.
- the wiper arm is attached to a wiper shaft rotatably driven in a cyclical oscillating manner by a helical gear.
- a reversible, fractional horsepower, direct current electric motor serves to actuate the helical gear through an armature shaft-mounted worm gear enmeshed therewith.
- This type of rear window wiper arrangement is usually mounted upon a pivoting liftgate of a minivan, station wagon, sport-utility vehicle or the like.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,519,258 entitled "System and Method for Controlling Vehicle Lift Gate Window Wiper" which issued to Stroven et al. on May 21, 1996.
- windshield and rear window wiper systems that have an electric motor and a worm gear which are constantly reversing directions in order to oscillate a wiper arm and wiper blade back and forth within a wiping range or path on the window.
- the electric motor and worm gear rotate in first respective directions for moving the wiper arm and blade to one side of the window and then reverse directions for moving the wiper arm and blade to the other side of the window.
- the electric motor and worm gear are further rotated to move the wiper arm and blade off of the window to a park position.
- Some conventional vehicles also provide a rear window release lock or latch, actuated by a solenoid, which can be unlocked to allow for upward pivotal movement of a rear window in relation to the otherwise stationary liftgate.
- a separate liftgate lock is often mounted upon the liftgate door for fastening the liftgate to the body thereby preventing inadvertent pivotal opening.
- This liftgate lock is traditionally operated by manual key or handle rotation, or through a separate electric motor or solenoid. Separate motors or solenoids are commonly required to actuate these various locks and the wiper.
- WO 96/33893 entitled “Multi- Functional Apparatus Employing an Electromagnetic Device”
- WO 96/33892 entitled “Control System for an Automotive Vehicle Multi-Functional Apparatus,” all of which were published on October 31, 1996, disclose a significantly improved system wherein a single electromagnetic device can selectively operate intermittent motion mechanisms coupled to a window wiper, a door lock, a window release lock and the like. Notwithstanding, these devices require further refinement and improvement. For example, if the window wiper is frozen onto a window, a door could not be unlocked with the geneva and starwheel mechanism constructions.
- split-shaft clutch embodiment also requires further improvements and refinements to increase the durability and robustness of design, while further minimizing the weight of the unit.
- a multi-functional apparatus for use in an automotive vehicle has a housing, a rotatable member located in the housing, an electromagnetic device, and multiple tracks.
- the electromagnetic device is an electric motor which operates in a unidirectional manner to oscillate a window wiper assembly back and forth in a normal window wiping range. The electric motor and rotatable member then reverse rotational direction to move the wiper assembly to a park position offset from the normal window wiping range, allowing the actuation of at least one intermittent motion mechanism for operating a door lock release or to release a window.
- at least one, and preferably two, intermittent motion mechanisms are pivotably connected to said inner surface of said housing.
- a window wiper oscillating mechanism and the wiper assembly are deterred from movement when they are disposed in a park position.
- a generally Q-shaped track is provided on a rotatable member for receiving a first coupling coupled to a window wiper oscillating mechanism.
- Intersecting inner and outer curved tracks are provided on an inner surface of a housing for receiving a second coupling used for actuating one or more levers in a reversed rotational direction of the rotatable member.
- the apparatus of the present invention serves to deter externally supplied forces, such as a car wash, bumpy road or the like, from moving and possibly damaging the wiper blade or wiper arm when it is in a park position.
- a stop associated with the wiper power transmission beneficially maintains the wiper assembly in its park position while allowing a worm gear to further rotate a predetermined amount in order to actuate optional door lock levers or gears other than those associated with the window wiper.
- the present invention further increases the durability and robustness of the multi-functional unit while minimizing weight and packaging size.
- the multi-functional apparatus of the present invention is also advantageous over conventional systems as the present invention combines many different functions into a single apparatus.
- the present invention multi-functional apparatus replaces the traditional separate rear wiper motor, liftgate lock/unlock motor or actuator, and rear window unlock solenoid.
- the present invention multi-functional apparatus significantly reduces the piece cost, assembly cost, part proliferation and handling costs, and wiring costs as compared to conventional constructions.
- the multi-functional apparatus of the present invention significantly reduces weight and packaging space requirements while increasing the electrical and mechanical reliability of the affected systems.
- the unidirectional nature of the electric motor and worm gear reduce traditional motor and gear noise while increasing part durability. Additional advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

- four-bar mechanism 23 includes a sector gear 85 (the first theoretical bar), a pair of straight links 87 and 88 (the second and third theoretical bars) and a pinion gear 89 (the fourth theoretical bar).
- Cylindrical pin coupling 91 depends from an elongated arm extending from sector gear 85. Pin 91 always is engaged with and rides in track 51.
- Links 87 and 88 are pivotably pinned on either side of sector gear 85 by way of a coupling pin 93.
- the opposite ends of links 87 are coaxially coupled to a window wiper shaft 95 and sandwich pinion gear 89. Teeth 97 of pinion gear 89 are enmeshed with teeth 99 of sector gear 85.
- Pinion gear 89 is longitudinally disposed generally between a distal end 101 (see Figure 1) of armature shaft 15 and armature 17 (also see Figure 1) in order to optimize packaging and geometry of the mechanism. Furthermore, sector gear 85 does not have a fixed pivot point but instead its rotational center is allowed to freely move or float relative to rotational axis 137 of worm gear 21 and the offset rotational axis of pinion gear 89. Window wiper arm 29 is movably coupled for coincidental movement with wiper shaft 95.
- Four-bar mechanism 23 is preferably made from steel.

- Lever 109 is preferably made from powdered-metal steel.
- a distal end of the lever is bifurcated to receive spring clips 111.
- spring clips 111 flux as the lever is actuated.
- a second preferred embodiment of levers 45 and 47 is shown in Figure 21.
- a lever 209 includes a mounting base 211 from which an arm 213 extends. Accordingly, a leaf spring 215 is directly mounted between arm 213 and base 211 and has abutting surfaces 217 which abut against abutting surfaces 219 of mounting base 211.
- a second coupling or pin 49 is always engaged with and rides in intersecting tracks 39 and 41.
- pin 49 includes a head 77 and arm 79.
- Pin 49 is a spring-loaded actuator pin composed of steel or a similar material.
- Worm gear 21 has a path 103 located in an underside portion of the gear perpendicular to the intersecting inner and outer tracks 39 and 41. A distal end of pin 49 rides along the inner and outer tracks and is trapped or secured within path 103 during rotation of worm gear 21.
- the width of tracks 39 and 41 increases at the intersection of the tracks and the radius along the inner track remains the same such that pin 49 is guided by the geometry of the track to enter the outer track when gear 21 is rotating.
- the intersection of the inner and outer tracks may include a substantially V-shaped ramp 105 cut or molded into the tracks at their intersection. Ramp 105 helps to guide pin 49 into outer path 41 from inner path 39.
- the present invention may alternatively include a gate 107, composed of a flexible spring steel material, disposed at the intersection of tracks 39 and 41 to help guide pin 49 from the inner track to the outer track when rotation of the worm gear reverses, while still allowing passage of pin 49 during rotation of gear 21 in the opposite direction.
- a gate 107 composed of a flexible spring steel material, disposed at the intersection of tracks 39 and 41 to help guide pin 49 from the inner track to the outer track when rotation of the worm gear reverses, while still allowing passage of pin 49 during rotation of gear 21 in the opposite direction.
- Electric motor 13 and worm gear 21 rotate in first respective unidirectional directions in order to drive four-bar mechanism 23 in a forward and reverse direction thereby oscillating window wiper shaft 95 and the attached window wiper arm 29.
- Figure 5 shows the rotation of worm gear 21 in the unidirectional direction, for example, clockwise, so as to drive the window wiper oscillating mechanism and pin 91 located in path
- pin 49 is guided to outer track 41 while riding within path 103 from inner track 39 to actuate levers 45 and 47 along the outer track.
- Track 51 of the worm gear most preferably covers a 360 degree rotation to allow clearance for the worm gear to bypass pin 91 when it is in a parked position.
- pin 49 is riding along inner track 39 at a distance radially farthest from a rotational centerline or axis 137 of the worm gear 21, and is subsequently guided to the outer track 41 when the worm gear reverses direction, such as counterclockwise.
- the width of the intersection of tracks 39 and 41 is increased to further assist in guiding the pin to the outer track.
- the present invention may include a substantially V-shaped ramp 105 formed in the trough of the intersection of the two tracks.
- the pin is preferably a spring-loaded pin, and the ramp leading to the outer track 41 is deeper than the path leading to inner track 39.
- pin 49 travels down only a slight slope and then continues in the same rotational direction.
- the gear is rotating in the reverse direction, the pin travels down the steeper slope or ramp in track 41 and is forced to continue to ride along the outer track.
- the present invention may alternatively include a gate 107 at the intersection of tracks 39 and 41 which blocks the travel of pin 49 to the inner track and subsequently guides the pin to the outer track.
- Gate 107 is preferably made of a flexible material.
- pin 49 rides along outer track 41 in response to the rotational direction of the worm gear 21 in order to actuate the levers 45 and 47.
- levers 45 and 47 are preferably shown in Figure 20 as lever 109.
- Pin 49 engages and presses against first lever 109, preferably a liftgate unlock and lock lever.
- Gear 21 and pin 49 further rotate so as to rotate lever 109 about a pivot axis, thereby locking the lock for the liftgate.
- Figure 9 illustrates the corresponding top view of worm gear 21 and the parked position of pin 91 at the moment of rotation shown in Figure 10.
- Arm 121 of lever 109 rotates from a position projecting over outer track 41 to a clearance position off the track as shown in Figure 10 such that pin 49 can continue in its rotational path 41 without interference of arm 121.
- the liftgate lock may be unlocked when the rotational direction of gear 21 is reversed and the pin is driven back against and actuates the liftgate lever.
- a raised rather than the disclosed depressed track may be mounted on the worm gear.
- another rotatable member beyond a worm gear can be employed with a track.
- the function and stop of the preferred embodiment can be employed with a constantly reversing electric motor and without a four-bar-type linkage.
- a variety of other gear reduction and linkage oscillating mechanisms are usable with the track and stop portions of the present invention.
- the passive stop may have alternate shapes and can be externally mounted on the gear or a motor casing.
- the coupling and intermittent motion mechanisms can also encompass many other shapes and formations depending on the desired track configuration.
- Various materials have been disclosed in an exemplary fashion, however, other materials may of course be employed. It is intended by the following claims to cover these and any other departures from the disclosed embodiments which fall within the true spirit of this invention.
