ABSTRACT:
A linearly actuating multi-functional apparatus for use in an automotive vehicle includes a single electromagnetic device which linearly operates a pair of mechanical devices. In another aspect of the present invention, a plunger of a solenoid is selectively moved between various longitudinal positions in order to directly and linearly move a portion of a first mechanical device interfacing with a window assembly and move a portion of a second mechanical device, such as a door lock or latch.
