  • Open-close body control apparatus
    Patent number: 9461462
    Abstract: A motor is driven to rotate in a closing direction in an ordinary region other than a full close position immediately ahead region. An interposition determination unit determines whether or not interposition occurs while a windowpane is closing. If the interposition determination unit determines that interposition occurs, the motor is driven in a reverse direction to open the windowpane by a predetermined amount. The interposition determination unit continuously determines interposition after the closing windowpane enters the full close position immediately ahead region. If the determination unit determines that the interposition occurs while the windowpane is closing in the full close position immediately ahead region, the control unit stops driving the motor to stop the windowpane.
