  • Operator control for vehicle components
    Patent number: 4926959
    Abstract: An operator control for vehicle components includes drive and driven members respectively operating a power actuator and a mechanical drive for moving a vehicle component between its operative positions. The drive and driven members move as a unit between operative positions of the driven member corresponding to the operative positions of the component. The drive member is uncoupled from the driven member at the operative positions of the latter for independent movement to its operative positions which also correspond to the operative positions of the component. The drive and driven members respectively operate the power actuator and the mechanical drive at their respective operative positions.
