A windshield wiper drive apparatus includes a non-electrical contact position detector of the wiper inwipe position. A magnet is rotated by the wiper drive gear and moves past a magnetically responsive sensor mounted within the drive housing to detect the inwipe position of the wipers. In one aspect, a rotatable cam is mounted in the housing and carries the magnet. Interengaging members on the drive gear and the cam cause rotation of the cam in only the normal direction of rotation of the drive gear. Any back movement of the drive gear through interfering contact of the wiper blades with an obstruction separates the drive gear interengaging member from the cam preventing movement of the cam.

A motor housing assembly includes a motor housing mounted to a gear housing and a brush holder assembly where the brush holder assembly is fixed in position by the junction between the motor housing and the gearbox. In one embodiment, a gasket is mechanically attached to the brush holder assembly via detents, and is compressed between the motor housing and gearbox when the two are assembled together.

A wiper drive apparatus includes a drive gear rotated by a motor, a lead frame carried on a cover attachable to the motor or motor gear and including a circumferentially of discrete conductive traces, and a park switch bridge rotatably mounted on the cover and carrying a circumferentially of spaced contacts, each slidable over conductive traces to open and close a circuit to the drive motor as the park switch bridge is engaged by and rotated by the drive gear. Each contact is carried on a beam projecting from a circumferentially of radially extending arms forming the park switch bridge. A drive pin carried on the drive gear engages successive arms to rotate the park switch bridge 90° for each revolution of the drive gear to bring a different contact into electrical connection with the conductive traces without requiring additional tooling for the lead frame or the park switch bridge itself.

A variable length crank arm in a windshield wiper system provides a depressed park position for an associated wiper blade when the direction of rotation of a drive motor is reversed. The crank arm relies on an eccentric driver to vary its length and between a first length a longer second length. When the eccentric driver is rotated in a first direction to wipe the windshield, a spring loaded pin keeps the eccentric driver rotatably fixed to an output arm with the crank arm consequently at the first length. The spring loaded pin also engages a cam slot in a cam plate, the cam plate rotating freely with the output arm and the eccentric driver in the first direction. To move the blade to the depressed park position, the direction of rotation of the drive motor is reversed. This causes the cam plate to become rotatably stopped, with the now stationary cam slot forcing the pin out of engagement with the output arm. Continued reverse motor rotation rotates the eccentric driver relative to the output arm increasing the length of the crank arm, moving the blade to the depressed park position.

A system and method for manufacturing and/or molding a plurality of parts, such as a sleeve bearing and a roller bearing, into a predetermined position in the housing wiper motor comprising a component such as a housing. The wiper motor comprises a motor housing, a plurality of bearings integrally insert molded into a predetermined position in the motor housing and a motor situated in the motor housing and having a plurality of shafts which are received in the plurality of bearings. The method for molding a motor housing for use in the vehicle comprises the steps of situating at least one part, such as the sleeve bearing, into a mold for molding the motor housing and then insert molding the housing such that the at least one part becomes integrally formed or molded into a predetermined position therein. In a preferred embodiment, the part is molded into the housing such that it is aligned within a tolerance range of about -0. 05 mm to +30 0. 05 mm.

A motor housing assembly includes a motor housing with two magnets disposed in the housing in a spaced relationship and a brush holder that couples with the motor housing. The magnets are disposed inside the motor housing to form two spaces in between the magnets. The brush holder has two tabs that extend inside the motor housing in between the two spaces. The tabs allow the brushes in the brush holder to be aligned solely based on the magnet position to ensure that there is proper angular alignment between the brushes and the magnets.
