The invention claimed is: 1. A multi-functional automotive vehicle apparatus for use in an automotive vehicle, said apparatus comprising:a window regulator driving device; a lock linkage movable between a locked orientation and an unlocked orientation; and a single electromagnetic device actuable to selectively operate said window regulator driving device and said lock linkage, said electromagnetic device being stationarily mounted to the vehicle during actuation of said lock linkage. 2. A multi-functional automotive vehicle apparatus comprising:a vehicle mirror adjustment device movable between a first orientation and a second orientation; a lock linkage movable between a locked orientation and an unlocked orientation; a single electromagnetic device actuable to selectively operate said mirror adjustment device and said lock linkage. 3. The multi-functional automotive vehicle apparatus of claim 2 further comprising a Geneva-type mechanism selectively coupling said electromagnetic device to at least one of said mirror adjustment device and said lock linkage.
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/430,388, filed Apr. 28, 1995, now abandoned, and U.S. application Ser. No. 08/431,148, filed Apr. 28, 1995, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,694,812, both of which are incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to multi-function actuators and specifically to a multi-functional node apparatus employed in an automotive vehicle to actuate remote devices.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present invention, the preferred embodiment of a multi-functional node apparatus employs various motion mechanisms including an intermittent motion mechanism, a push-pull motion mechanism, and a rotary motion mechanism. An electromagnetic device selectively causes movement of the motion mechanisms thereby moving a mechanical device coupled thereto. In a further aspect of the present invention, a clutch mechanism selectively couples mechanical devices to the various motion mechanisms.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a rear elevational view, with portions broken away therefrom, showing a first embodiment of the multi-functional apparatus of the present invention;
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The construction of a first embodiment of a central drive and power transmission unit 43 is best illustrated in FIGS. 1-3. An electric motor 51 is of a conventional 12 volt fractional horsepower, dc electromagnetic variety having a metallic rotor housing 53 within which are stationary permanent magnets 55, a rotatable armature 57 with wire windings, a rotatable armature shaft 59 joined to armature 57, a commutator 61 electrically connected to the wire windings and rotatable with armature shaft 59, a brush card assembly 63 and various electronic components, bushings and retainers. It will be appreciated to those skilled in the art that other electric motor constructions can readily be substituted for that shown. A worm gear segment 65 is provided upon a portion of armature shaft 59 extending beyond motor housing 53.
