Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a separate switch that controls all the motors for the power windows of the motor vehicle, either the front ones only or the rear ones with optional control functions for all the motors together or inhibition of the control of the back windows from the rear of the motor vehicle (safety measure for children).
  • the present motor vehicle devices present groups of motors for power windows located in different parts of the motor vehicle, for example on the door handles, on the central tunnel or on the dashboard, according to the stylistic/ergonomic choices of the manufacturers.
  • Said devices share the characteristic that each window is controlled by a switch for the up-and-down mode, both automatically and manually.
  • switches are gathered on a single metal support mounted on the door on the driver side or on the tunnel, being integrated by an additional switch to lock the controls of the rear part of the motor vehicle (safety measure for children). It becomes evident that the utilisation of so large a number of switches means high costs.
  • German Patent n°3524439 it is also known, among the electrical controls of the devices of the motor vehicle, a device to adjust the position of the rearview mirrors of a motor vehicle, presenting a separate control consisting of a lever housed in a way such that it can be rotated and inclined in order to select and control the two electrical motors of each mirror.
  • reference number 1 indicates the envelope of the separate control with a snap mounted bottom 3 and including electrical contacts 4.
  • a control lever 5 resting on a fulcrum on the envelope 1, is adapted, when inclined on a side, to move a bond 7 with a pair of pin contacts 9.
  • the lever 5 is kept in a vertical position because its lower edge is provided by a retractable rounded point 10 which is pushed by a pressure spring into a conic notch 11, made in the bottom 3 at the vertical axis of the envelope 1.
  • a side push on the knob 13 of the lever 5, allows the lever to be inclined in an unstable position, with a rotation around the point 14 located at the wall of the cover 1, and the point 10 to slide on the surface of the notch 11.
  • the lever 5 may be snap rotated into six selection positions, that is a neutral position, a position of simultaneous control of the four motors of the power windows, and a control position for each of the motors.
  • a release control integrally located rotatably to the lever 5 above the printed circuit 9. It is made of an arch support 16 provided with two diametrically opposite caps 17, stressed into diametral expansion by a spring 18.
  • the caps 17 can slide on the inner surface of a ring guide 19, with a basically rectangular plan, the hole of which presents two recesses 21 and 22, at the main axis and four additional recesses, 23, 24, 25 and 26 at the diagonals.
  • An action on the knob 13 causes the rotation of the support 16 that drags the caps 17. They end snap positioned into two of the facing recesses made on the inner wall of the ring.
  • Figures 1 to 4 show a possible location of the separate control on a part of the inner covering of the passenger compartment 30, more in particular on the dashboard or on the central tunnel between the seats.
  • the covering 30 forms a cup 31 in which the upper part of the lever 5 protrudes with the control knob 13.
  • the envelope 1 with the bottom 3 is hidden in the part under the cup 31.
  • the wall of the covering 30 forms, on the edge of the cup 31, a radial projection 32 protruding towards the centre of the cup, till it covers part of the control knob 13.
  • On the upper surface of the knob there are two position marks 33 and 34, of different design, which respectively indicate the portion of the knob in the rotation field of which either all the windows or the front windows only are selected, and the portion where the rear windows or the neutral position are selected.
  • References marks 35 are present also on the inner wall of the cup, in order to indicate the position of the main axis (neutral or all) and the two diagonals (right, left).
  • the corresponding mark is placed on the reference indicated on the cup (for example front left in figure 1) and the knob 13 is pulled in the direction of arrow A in order to lift the window or is pushed in the direction of arrow B in order to lower it.
  • the projection 32 has been expressly made to prevent the knob to be accidentally pushed and moved to the right in figures 1, 2 and 3, in order to prevent the windows from being closed when it is not desired, for example to prevent children from doing that. It will be therefore recommended that the control be mounted in such a way that when the knob is moved to the right one or all the windows are lowered.
