Abstract
A device for automatically stopping the powered closure of the slidable panel of a vehicle sun roof as the panel approaches its fully closed position under the operation of a driving apparatus. A limit switch attached to the housing interrupts the flow of energy to the driving apparatus when engaged by cooperating structure formed on a cam rotated by an off-set bearing and first and second reduction gears of the driving apparatus. The cam plate is farther driven by a pin engaging a channel within the cam plate. The cooperating structure, which may be a groove or a projection, is so located on the cam as to engage the limit switch only when the slidable panel is close to its fully closed position.
