Electric rain sensor and method of manufacturing a sensor member thereto

In an electric drive arrangement for a cord winding and dewinding winch (22), in particular for cord-operated screening and opening/closing devices for windows and doors, in which the operating cord (4) is connected with said device for moving it in one direction when winding up the cord on said winch (22), the latter being turned in one direction by means of an electric motor (12), while movement in the other direction is effected by a spring force acting on the device while dewinding the cord from the winch (22), the latter being turned by the electric motor (12) in the opposite direction, the winding and dewinding winch (22) for the cord is combined into a drive unit with the electric motor (12) and connected thereto by a transmission device, which is influenced by a braking force, means being provided for stopping the electric motor in response to suspension of the tension in the cord (4) caused by the movement in said other direction effected by the spring force, when dewinding the cord, said stopping means including a detector (18,19) influenced by the rotation of the winch (22).
