Assemblies to Articulate a Vehicle Backlite

摘要

Assemblies and methods to articulate a movable surface such as a window covering an opening of a vehicle from closed to open positions using a pivoting armature are provided. An assembly includes a backlite pane pivotably attached about an axis fixed with respect to the vehicle; at least one lever assembly pivotably connected to the backlite pane to permit articulating movement of the backlite pane; and a motive force connected to a driveshaft connected to the at least one lever assembly such that rotation of the driveshaft in response to the motive force causes movement of the at least one lever assembly and articulation of the backlite pane.
