Motor clutch for window regulator motor

摘要

A clutch assembly for a window regulator motor includes a gear housing with a helical gear disposed in the gear housing. The helical gear includes first and second circumferential surfaces. An opposing pair of slots is formed through the first circumferential surface of the helical gear. A cushion is coupled to the helical gear. A cushion plate is in turn connected to the cushion. A pair of spaced locking pawls is pivotally attached to the helical gear and extends through the pair of slots formed through the first circumferential surface. The cushion plate includes a cam section formed thereon. The cam section contacts one of the pair of locking pawls in response to rotation between the helical gear and cushion plate wherein the locking pawl engages a gear housing preventing movement of the helical gear.
