Reversible activation unit for alternate impingement of two separate motor vehicle functional elements

A reversible activation unit for the alternate impingement of separate first and second motor vehicle functional elements, the reversible activation unit comprising:

• a single motor having a motor connecting element that is movable in a linear manner between a neutral position and first and second opposing directions;
• discrete first and second connecting elements;
• discrete first and second levers, wherein the first connecting element operatively connects the first lever to the first motor vehicle functional element, and the second connecting element operatively connects the second lever to the second motor vehicle functional element, and
• a spring interposed between the first and second levers for biasing each lever to the neutral position,
• wherein when the motor moves the motor connecting element in the first direction from the neutral position, the motor connecting element contacts the first lever to move the first lever, independently from the second lever, to operate the first motor vehicle functional element via the first connecting element, and
• wherein when the motor moves the motor connecting element in the second direction from the neutral position, the motor connecting element contacts the second lever to move the second lever, independently from the first lever, to operate the second motor vehicle functional element via the second connecting element.
