Abstract:
A power window apparatus being capable of opening or closing a window by manual operation of a power-window switch in a window-opening or closing direction, said operation energizing a window-opening relay or a window-closing relay to drive a motor of a power-window mechanism into forward or reverse rotation for opening or closing the window during the manual operation and by temporary automatic operation of the power-window switch in the window-opening or closing direction, said automatic operation causing an auto-latching circuit to be turned-on for holding the window-opening relay or the window-closing relay in the energized state to maintain the forward or reverse rotation of the motor until the window becomes fully opened or closed, wherein the apparatus is further provided with a switch that is actuated conjointly with the manual operation of the power-window switch in the window-opening direction and disconnects a control circuit for latching the window-closing relay energized in the auto-latching circuit to make a coil of the window-closing relay short-circuited.
