Patent EP-1261512-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LOMBARDO FRANK
IPC: B60S1/08
Filed: 2001-03-06
Abstract: A wiper drive apparatus includes a drive gear rotated by a motor, a lead frame carried on a cover attachable to the motor or motor gear and including a circumferentially of discrete conductive traces, and a park switch bridge rotatably mounted on the cover and carrying a circumferentially of spaced contacts, each slidable over conductive traces to open and close a circuit to the drive motor as the park switch bridge is engaged by and rotated by the drive gear. Each contact is carried on a beam projecting from a circumferentially of radially extending arms forming the park switch bridge. A drive pin carried on the drive gear engages successive arms to rotate the park switch bridge 90° for each revolution of the drive gear to bring a different contact into electrical connection with the conductive traces without requiring additional tooling for the lead frame or the park switch bridge itself.

Abstract: In a rotary fluid machine for converting the reciprocal
movement of pistons (41) and the rotational movement of a rotor
(31) from one into another by the engagement of rollers (59)
and annular grooves (60) with each other, a value in a positive
peak region of a pressure load of pistons (41) received by the
rollers (59) engaged in the annular grooves (60) and a value
of a positive peak region of a centrifugal force load received
by the rollers (59) are set, so that they are substantially equal
to each other, and phases of the two peak regions are deviated
from each other. In addition, the phase of a negative peak
region of a vane (42) pushing-down load received by the rollers
(59) and the phase of the positive peak region of the pressure
load of the pistons (41) received by said rollers (59) are
established, so that they are overlapped at least partially on
each other. Thus, a peak value of a total load received by the
rollers (59) and an amount of variation in the load can be
suppressed to a small level to provide an enhancement in
durability of the rollers (59).
