Abstract
The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a toothed wheel, especially for a windshield wiper control device, of the kind having on one face a conductive strip. The process consists of providing in the wheel face an impression having a shape complementing the shape of the conductive strip, disposing the conductive strip in said impression, and securing the conductive strip with the front face of the toothed wheel. The front face has a border running along a peripheral edge of the impression and protruding at the border of said impression.
Claims6
A toothed wheel suitable for a windscreen wiper control device, comprising on one face a generally flat conductive strip having inner and outer peripheries, said face defining an impression having a shape complementing the flat shape of the conductive strip for receiving therein the conductive strip, said face further defining a border peripheral to the conductive strip and protruding from said impression in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the flat conductive strip, said peripheral border covering at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the conductive strip disposed in the impression whereby the conductive strip is secured to said face of the toothed wheel.
