Abstract: A windshield wiper motor drive unit is described wherein a gear cover, connector receptacle and brush plate are integrally formed as a one piece plastic part.

Abstract: A windshield wiper motor is disclosed in which there is a gear mechanism in a one piece plastic housing. The gear housing also houses the electrical terminals for the motor brushes and the brush springs. All these elements are placed in the one piece plastic housing.

Abstract: A windshield wiper assembly including a one-piece plastic shaft and crank coupling the drive unit to the driven assembly.

Abstract: An electric drive unit particularly adapted for actuating windshield wiper assemblies includes a motor having it's armature shaft carrying aportion having two oppositely pitched worm threads. Two worm gear wheels are disposed each on opposite sides of the threaded portion and in engagement therewith. The axes of rotation of the worm wheels are in parallel. Two spur wheels are each concentrically seated on a respective worm wheel. The spur wheels each engage a wheel having its axis of rotation located in a plane defined by the axes of rotation of the worm wheels. The toothed wheel is connected to a drive shaft.

Abstract: A device for adjusting the inclination of vehicular headlamps includes an electric motor for positioning the headlamps, an adjusting switch for selecting one of a plurality of predetermined headlamp positions and a reversing switch connected to the adjusting switch. The reversing switch is mechanically coupled to the actuator of the adjusting switch such that when the direction of headlamp inclination is reversed, the motor direction is reversed thereby preventing momentary movement of the headlamps through unintended angles of inclination.

Abstract: A wiper assembly for cleaning the rear window of an automotive vehicle includes a closed housing in which the electromotor and the transmission for the swinging drive of the wiper shaft are located. The wiper shaft projects from a self-supporting housing portion at a predetermined distance from the fastening means. The unit can be mounted outside of the body of an automotive vehicle in a way that the wiper shaft points to the window to be cleaned and thereby a wiping angle of 180.degree. can be attained.

Abstract: An armature for a pump motor, in which losses due to vorticity are substantially reduced, is disclosed. The armature includes a pair of symmetrical housing covers provided with axially extending webs. The webs overlap in nesting relationship and are provided with interlocking elements. Accordingly, the overall housing is streamlined without abrupt discontinuities which would otherwise contribute vorticity losses.
