US Patent:

61723126, Jan 9, 2001
Filed:

Oct 20, 1999
Appl. No.:

9/421739
Inventors:

John M. Maranzano - Shelby Township MI
Assignee:

Valeo Electrical Systems, Inc. - Auburn Hills MI
International Classification:

H01H 900
US Classification:

200 6128
Abstract:

A combined transmission gear shift selector and vehicle operating device switch lever includes an actuator movably mounted on a transmission shift lever for movement between distinct positions, each defining a separate circuit for activating a vehicle operating device or circuit. The actuator is movably mounted between spaced first and second end portions of the transmission shift lever which are rigidly joined for unitary movement. A printed circuit board carrying conductive traces and a contactor carrying leaf contacts are movably arranged with respect to each other on the actuator and the lever for defining circuits upon at least one of rotation and/or coaxial translation of the actuator relative to the lever. A detent and detent follower are formed on the actuator and one of the first and second end portions for defining distinct rotary positions of the actuator relative to the lever, each distinct position defining a separate vehicle operating device state. The actuator is optionally coaxially translatable relative to the lever and capable of closing a circuit upon such translational movement for controlling a vehicle operating device.

E05F 15/77
Abstract:

A vehicle includes a moveable closure panel and a system for activating movement of the closure panel. The system is configured to receive a voice command to move the closure panel, identify the location of an object in an area surrounding the vehicle, and if the object is within a predetermined zone of the area for permitting movement of the closure panel in accordance with the voice command, generate an instruction to move the closure panel in accordance with the voice command. The vehicle further includes at least one actuator responsive to the instruction to move the closure panel in accordance with the voice command.
