<p>In accordance with the present invention, the preferred embodiment of a multi-functional apparatus employing a flexible drive element (16) for selectively actuating multiple output includes an electro-magnetic device (10) and a flexible drive element (16) with a plurality of members (38) thereon. In another aspect of the present invention, a flexible closed loop drive element (16) in response to selective energization of an electric motor (10), and at least one rotatable member (36) is coupled to one accessory such as a window wiper (18). The member (38) attached to the drive element (16) are arranged in a loop motion or discontinuous manner and selectively engage the rotatable member (40, 28, 36) thus actuate the attached accessory (44, 32, 18).</p> |
