ABSTRACT:
An operator for controlling movement of a window sash relative to a window frame, including a drive gear pivotable about a central axis substantially perpendicular to one side of the window frame and drivably linked to move the sash, a connector defining first and second pivot axes intersecting at a point and rotatable around the intersection point, a worm pivotable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the central axis and drivably engaging a portion of the drive gear by a helical thread having variable height peaks lying in an annular orientation substantially conforming to the annular orientation of the drive gear portion, and a drive input shaft rotatable about a shaft axis intersecting the worm axis at an angle. The worm, connector and drive shaft are secured whereby the connector is pivotable relative to the worm about the first pivot axis and the connector is pivotable relative to the drive shaft about the second pivot axis. The worm includes a forked end received in an annular slot defined about the connector and the shaft includes a forked end received in a second annular slot defined about the connector, with both of the slots being centered on the intersection point and intersecting one another at substantially right angles.
