Patent ID: 7908061

Claim:
An opening/closing member control apparatus comprising: an opening/closing member that is movable between a fully open position and a fully closed position; a driving means for driving the opening/closing member to be opened or closed via a drive mechanism by an operation of a motor; a position detecting means for detecting a position of the opening/closing member; and a controlling means for controlling a drive of the motor based on the position of the opening/closing member, which is detected by the position detecting means, wherein: the controlling means stores a first set position and a second set position, wherein: the first set position is set between the fully open position and the fully closed position; and the second set position is set between the fully open position and the first set position, as well as adjacently to the fully open position; the controlling means reduces a motor output after the opening/closing member reaches the first set position until the opening/closing member reaches the second set position while driving the opening/closing member in a direction toward the fully open position, and de-energizes the motor when the opening/closing member reaches the second set position; and the second set position is set at a position, from which the opening/closing member is not able to reach the fully open position with a movement speed thereof at a time when the motor is de-energized.
