  • Flush type window drive mechanism
    Patent number: 8578654
    Abstract: A window drive mechanism is used to cover and uncover an opening formed in a first window panel. A second window panel is mounted for movement relative to the first window panel. The second window panel is moved by the window drive mechanism between an open position where the opening is uncovered and a closed position where the second window panel covers the opening. When the second window panel is in the closed position, the second window panel is flush with the first window panel. A guide member is mounted for movement with the second window panel and has a notch that defines a first path of movement where the second window panel is moved inwardly of the first window panel. When activated, the drive mechanism moves the second window panel inwardly to a non-flush position via the notch, and then moves the second window panel axially to uncover the opening.
