Abstract: A dual snap-action electric switch is used in an antenna drive to stop antenna movement when a predetermined resistance to longitudinal movement is encountered. The switch has two actuator arms operated by actuator tabs maintained in spaced relation by a spring. The actuator tabs are movable longitudinally in response to longitudinal movement of an electric motor driven worm shaft to open one or the other of the switches to stop the motor, such as when full extension or retraction of the antenna is reached.

Abstract: A drive mechanism for windshield wipers in which a rotary input is converted to an oscillating output through a linkage mechanism. The linkage has a drive link which is connected through a control link and cam member to an output link. The cam member maintains one relative position between the control link and the output link during normal wiping and enforces relative angular movement therebetween to another relative position whereby parking of the wipers is accommodated.

Abstract: An air control valve for directing the flow of air from an internal combustion engine driven pump and including differential pressure actuating means includes a pilot valve responsive to engine induction vacuum level to provide induction vacuum, atmospheric air or air from the pump to the actuating means. The pilot valve includes a chamber having openings communicating with the pump and the actuating means, a restricted orifice to atmosphere, a valve element capable of selectively closing either of the openings, a differential pressure motor actuated by induction vacuum and a tube projecting through the actuating means opening into the chamber, the tube being axially positionable by and in communication with the differential pressure motor to co-act with the valve member and openings to supply high pressure air, atmospheric air or induction vacuum to the actuating means according to the level of induction vacuum.
