Abstract

Abstract An installation for the protection against the squeezing-in by windowpanes or similar pivotal or displaceable structural parts actuable by reversible electric motors, particularly in motor vehicles, which includes a switch at each required place; an electronic control circuit is adapted to be fed with current by the respective switch of the structural part at the same time as the energizing circuit for the corresponding driving motor; the electronic control circuit responds to pulses produced by body contact with a predetermined part such as the upper edge of the windowpane and causes the standstill or reversal of direction of rotation of the driving motor.
