Abstract: A power window apparatus for opening and closing a window glass actuates a window regulator based on power transmitted from the output gear of a motor to the sector gear of a window regulator. A range in which the output gear and the sector gear mesh with each other includes a normal operation range and a low speed operation range. In the normal operation range, the window glass is moved at a normal speed. In the low speed operation range, the window glass is moved at a speed lower than the normal speed from a near-fully closed position to a fully closed position of the window glass.
