Electrically controlled sliding window and proximity detector
First Claim
1. An electrically operated sliding window equipped with a saftety device, said safety device comprising:
- electrical contacts located on a surface of said window and along the edge of the window for sensing the height of the window,electrical conductors, in the form of a conductive strip, fabricated from substantially the same material as said contacts and located on a surface of said window, for connecting said contacts to an electrical control circuit, andsaid electrical control circuit, attached to a surface of said window in a stationary positional relationship with respect to said contacts and said conductors, for controlling the height of said window.

Abstract
Apparatus for an electrically moved sliding window, used illustratively in automotive applications, having first, a built-in safety device, for providing a signal whenever the window has been raised or lowered to a preselected height and second, a proximity detector is described. The device and detector comprise a plurality of conductors, bonded to the surface of the window. These conductors are, in turn, connected to an integrated circuit element which is also mounted to the surface of the window. This circuit element controls a power stage which, in turn, supplies power to the drive motor which raises and lowers the window. The circuit element and the conductors are placed directly on the window in a stationary position with respect to one another.
