  • Patent number: 6580240
    Abstract: An activation device for a functional component of motor vehicle equipment having an electric motor includes a transmission device connected on the one hand to an output shaft of the motor and on the other hand to said functional component, so that the transmission device and the motor exert mutual forces upon one another, and a safety device adapted for modifying the electrical supply of the motor according to an operating parameter significant of said mutual forces. The motor is mounted on the equipment with at least one degree of movement with respect thereto, and the safety device has means of measuring the movement of the motor delivering measurement signals which determine the operating parameter. The activation device is particularly applicable to electric window winder or sun-roof systems.
