ABSTRACT:
A drive apparatus of a roof structure for a vehicle comprises a drive gear rotatably supported by a casing of the apparatus; a first gear for transmitting the power from the drive gear to a drive section for opening and closing a lid disposed in the roof structure; a rotary member having a control section for switching a switch for detecting the position of the lid; and a second gear for transmitting the power from the drive gear to the rotary member. The drive apparatus has a control device for controlling a drive motor for driving the roof structure. The control device comprises a drive motor for slidably and tiltably driving the lid disposed in a roof opening by the normal and reverse rotations of the motor; a tilting control circuit having first and second tilting contacts disposed in a first switch, and tilting the lid by driving the drive motor in the normal and reverse directions by switching the first and second tilting contacts when the first switch is operated; a sliding control circuit having first and second sliding contacts disposed in a second switch, and sliding the lid by driving the drive motor in the normal and reverse directions by switching the first and second sliding contacts when the second switch is operated; and a switch device for electrically connecting and disconnecting the tilting control circuit and the sliding control circuit by a cam rotated by the drive motor in the normal and reverse directions.
