  • Patent number: 7114389
    Abstract: Rain sensor arrangement for an operator for a window, said window comprising a frame, a sash pivotable with respect to said frame, and a pane mounted in said sash. The operator is adapted for pivoting said sash between a closed and an open position and vice versa, and said operator is controlled via a control circuitry responsive to input signals from at least a rain sensor. The rain sensor has at least one sensing area arranged so as to be protected against rain by said window, when the sash is in the closed position.
