Abstract: A driving mechanism for a windscreen wiper having a park position switch. The park position switch includes a swivable contact bridge which is pivotally arranged on a pin in the bottom of the driving mechanism. A contact tag on the contact bridge is made of an electrically conductive plate, with the contact tags being formed by bends. The contact bridge is operated via cams on the worm-gear. The cams cooperate with switch flaps on the contact bridge that are equally formed by bends. Preferably, the switch is mounted in the bottom of the driving mechanism so that the contact banks to be contacted can also extend in the bottom of the case.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromotive actuator with a housing for a central door locking system of a motor vehicle having a first slide adjustable by a first electric motor between two end positions. The first slide can be connected with a door lock of the motor vehicle independently of the end position and is preferably decoupled from the electric motor in the end positions, so that the first slide is manually adjustable between its end positions. Such an electromotive actuator is provided with a theft protection capability in the sense that, after a windshield of a motor vehicle is smashed in, an unlocking of the door by the inside locking handle is no more possible because the parts of the actuator are not actuated by operating the inside locking handle. Finally, an unlocking operation initiated from the outside is possible when the theft protection is put into operation.

Abstract: A multiposition switch for ignition or heater plug and starter circuits in a motor vehicle, adapted for an independent switching of a plurality of load circuits, includes a switching disk rotatable about an axis and supporting spring biased conductive arms crossing each other and being bent in the crossing region into a U-shaped configuration so that the arms are insulated one from the other. One end of each arm sweeps on a plurality of stationary load contacts whereas the other end portion of respective arms is controlled by annular cams surrounding the load contacts. A stationary counter-contact ring is provided in the region between the rotary axis and the load contacts and cooperates with contact studs secured to respective arms.
