A manual window regulator in which a pinion rotatably carried by a window glass and driven by a manual handle is held in engagement with a rack which is fixed to extend in the direction of movement of the window glass, so that a manual rotation of the handle causes the pinion to roll along the rack in meshing engagement therewith so as to drive the window glass thereby opening and closing a window. The transmission of rotation from the handle to the pinion is effected through a tape stretched between a drive gear rotationally driven by the handle and driven gear coaxially fixed to the pinion. The rack and the pinion are usable also as the parts of a power window regulator. The manual window regulator therefore can be easily converted into a power window regulator by using an electric motor for driving the pinion in place of the unit including the handle, the drive gear and the tape.

A self-driving closure device for moving a closure member such as a window glass of a vehicle between an open position and a close position. The device has a motor movable together with the closure member. The motor has a pinion that meshes with a rack secured to the vehicle door or a rotary drum on which an intermediate portion of a wire secured to the door is wound, so that a thrusting force for driving the window glass between the open and close positions is generated as a reactional force as the pinion or the drum is rotated. A mechanism is provided between the motor and the window glass so as to absorb any offset between the direction of movement of the glass and the direction of movement of the motor, so as to ensure smooth movement of the window glass.

A closure device for opening and closing an opening by moving a closure member substantially vertically has a motor for driving the closure member. The motor is secured to a lower portion of the closure member and within substantially the same plane as the plane of movement of the closure member. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent an eccentric load from being applied to the closure member.

A power supplying system for supplying power to a self-driving closure device in which a driving source for driving the closure device for opening and closing an opening moves together with the closure device includes a lead wire having one end connected to a power source and the other end connected to the driving source. The side of the lead wire connected to the power source is supported at a midpoint between the positions of the upper and lower limits of movement of the driving source, while the side of the lead wire connected to the driving source is supported in such a manner as to move together with the driving source. The lead wire is thus made to swing in conjunction with the movement of the driving source so as to supply power to the moving driving source. A guide shaft is provided along the direction of movement of the driving source, and a helical portion formed in the lead wire is extended or shrunk along the guide shaft so as to supply power to the moving driving source.

A yoke housing that receives an armature has a plurality of permanent magnets (primary magnetic poles) secured to an inner peripheral surface of the yoke housing. Furthermore, the yoke housing includes a plurality of groove-like reduced thickness portions for increasing a magnetic resistance. Each reduced thickness portion extends along a center line of a corresponding one of the permanent magnets.

There is provided a mobile member position detection apparatus in which not only high-accuracy detection of a position of a window glass or the like of a power window apparatus but also setting of an initial position being free from cumbersome adjustment can be realized with a simple structure at low cost. In this position detection apparatus, a transmission plate and a cam plate are rotated together with the rotating shaft of a window regulator, and a limit switch is rendered conductive to detect a predetermined rotational position. Thereafter, when the rotating shaft is rotated, the intermeshing state between a tooth portion and a tooth portion obtained by a wave washer is released, and rotation of the rotating shaft is not transmitted to the cam plate. Therefore, when the rotating shaft (drive motor) is sufficiently rotated during an incorporating operation, an initial state wherein a projecting portion is brought into contact with a stopper to render the limit switch conductive is automatically set.

A device for detecting a position of a moving body is provided in which a position of a moving body such as a window glass of a power window device can be detected with high accuracy, initial positions can be set without complicated adjustment, such can be realized with a simple structure and at a low cost, and assemblability can be greatly improved. In the device for detecting a position of a moving body, fixed contacts press-contact a flange portion of a ring gear from a side opposite a side at which a cover plate is disposed. Accordingly, the fixed contacts can be installed after the ring gear. In a state in which the ring gear is provisionally installed, press-contact force of the fixed contacts is not applied to the ring gear. As a result, the ring gear does not rise and positional deviation does not occur, and therefore, the assemblability can be greatly improved.

A position detecting device includes a ring gear that is disposed on an outer side of an output shaft of a motor and rotates with the rotation of the output shaft, fixed contact terminals fixed to a cover plate, and a rotary contact terminal provided on a ring gear. As the ring gear rotates, the fixed contact terminals and the rotary contact terminal are brought into contact with each other, thereby detecting a rotational position of the output shaft. The position detecting device further includes a clutch mechanism for preventing the rotation of the ring gear by more than a predetermined degree while permitting the rotation of the output shaft of the motor in the state of contact. Hence, even if the output shaft of the motor is rotated sufficiently, this state of contact is maintained.

A power window apparatus improved to reduce the step between the outer surface of a window glass and the outer surface of a door outer panel so as to realize a flush surface state when the window glass has been moved to full close position. The window glass is supported such that the lower end portion of the window glass can be moved towards the door outer panel and the lower end portion of the window glass is shifted towards the door outer panel when the window glass has been moved to a position near the full close position.

A metallic receiving plate is located in a holding recess of a housing such that the plate opposes the distal end face of a worm shaft. The distal end of the receiving plate with respect to the rotating shaft defines a charging cavity in the holding recess. A resin material is charged into the charging cavity. A metallic ball is located between the distal end face of the worm shaft and the receiving plate. The ball makes point contact with the distal end face of the worm shaft and with the receiving plate. Two protrusions are formed on the receiving plate. The protrusions are embedded in the resin material to connect the receiving plate to the solidified resin material and to prevent the receiving plate from rotating. Thus, the rotational resistance of the worm shaft is reduced, and the durability of the bearing device is improved.
