ABSTRACT:
A window release and wiper system and method is shown using a window latch having a latch release arm. The latch release arm is coupled to an output shaft of a wiper motor which also drives a wiper arm and a wiper blade between an inwipe position and an outwipe position. As the wiper motor drives the wiper arm between the inwipe and outwipe positions, the latch release arm rides on the output shaft of the wiper motor. When it is desired to open the window, the wiper motor is energized to drive the wiper arm to a window release position which, in turn, simultaneously drives the latch release arm to engage and actuate a latch release lever to actuate a window latch to release or unlock the window. After the window is closed, the wiper motor may drive the wiper arm and wiper blade from the window release position towards the inwipe position. A one-way, spring-loaded latch member in the latch release arm is energized to permit the latch release arm to clear the latch release lever without axially driving the latch release lever, thereby permitting the latch release arm to clear the lever and assume a non-window release position.
