[Class 20 (iii)] [Also in Group XXXII] Mechanism for actuating a sliding window, particularly a motor vehicle window, comprises at least one pivoted arm which shifts the window and is operated by a sliding member which is connected to it and is itself operated through an irreversible pin-and-slot connection by a second sliding member movable in a parallel plane but in a different direction from that of the first. As shown, the mechanism comprises a base plate 12 on which are pivoted a pair of arms 13 (one only being shown) provided at their free ends with rollers to engage in a channel on the underside of the window. The arms are operated by a double rack member 18 vertically slidable between guides 20 and engaging toothed quadrants or pinions on or secured to the arms. The member 18 carries a pin 27 engaging a diagonal slot 26 in a member 23 horizontally slidable on a plate 25 which is secured to the base plate 12, the member 23 being moved through a rack and pinion 32, 33 by the actuating handle. The pin and slot connection being irreversible, the window can be moved only by the actuating handle. Alternatively, the member 23 may be moved by pneumatic or hydraulic means or electrically by means of solenoids. Modifications are described in which only one arm 13 is used, the arms are operated by member 18 through pin-and-slot connections, and two racks are provided on the member 23 driven by pinions of different sizes to give quick and slow actuation.
