Abstract

A vehicle power window actuator for pivoting a side glass view panel about an axis. The actuator is fixedly mounted on a vehicle body panel and is comprised of a housing containing screw spindle rotatable by a reversible electric motor, a follower axially displaceable on said screw spindle by rotation of said screw spindle, and link pivotably connected at one end to said follower and at the other end to a window glass pane connector assembly, said link telescopically slidable within said housing. Axial movement of the follower on the screw spindle in one direction causes extension of the link out of the housing thereby exerting a pushing force on the connector assembly thus pivoting the glass view panel outwardly to an open position. Axial movement of the follower on the screw in the other direction causes retraction of the link into the housing thereby exerting a pulling force on the connector assembly thus pulling the glass view panel inwardly to a closed position.
