Abstract:
1. An emergency window opening system to allow opening of a window of a vehicle without vehicle actuation or primary window motor actuator, said system including: a vehicle; a vehicle door attached to the vehicle and having the window mounted therein, the primary window motor being mechanically coupled to a lift gear to selectively rotate the lift gear in a first direction or a second direction, the lift gear is mechanically coupled to the window to allow selective raising of the window when the lift gear is rotated in the first direction or lowering of the window when said lift gear is rotated in the second direction, said primary window motor being turned on only when an ignition switch of the vehicle has been actuated; a housing being mounted within the vehicle door; a secondary motor being mounted within the housing, a drive shaft of the secondary motor extending through said housing and being mechanically coupled to said lift gear, said secondary motor rotating said lift gear only in said second direction when said secondary motor is turned on; an actuator being mounted on the vehicle door and being electrically coupled by a wire to the secondary motor, said secondary motor being turned on when said actuator is actuated; a power supply line extending between and directly electrically coupling a battery to said secondary motor, said power supply line extending into said housing; and a crash sensor being electrically coupled to said secondary motor, said crash sensor detecting a first parameter, said first parameter being an acceleration greater than 25 times the force of gravity, said crash sensor turning on said secondary motor when said first parameter is detected.
