ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (20) for controlling movement of a vehicle power window (22) between a fully open position and a fully closed position. The apparatus (20) comprises an energizable electric motor (66) for, when energized, moving the window (22). A switch assembly (62) for energizing the electric motor (66) to move the vehicle window (22) to one of the positions. The switch assembly (62) includes a first electrical contact (282) and a second electrical contact (284) electrically insulated from the first electrical contact. An electrically conductive disk (286) has a periphery (288) domed portion (290) and is in electrical communication with one of the first and second electrical contacts (282, 284) at a portion of a periphery of the disk. The other of the first and second electrical contacts (282, 284) is located adjacent the disk (286) and initially spaced from the disk. The disk (286) is resiliently deflectable into engagement with the other of the first and second electrical contacts (282, 284) to provide electrical communication between the first and second electrical contacts. A member (104) is supported for movement and is movable in response to manual force applied thereto. Movement of the member (104) effects deflection of the domed portion (290) of the disk (286) into engagement with the other of the first and second electrical contacts (282, 284) to energize the electric motor (66) to move the window (22) in a direction towards one of the positions.
