Abstract
The present invention discloses and claims an apparatus and method for operating a take-up mechanism. The system includes electric and manual actuating mechanisms engaged with a combiner mechanism to apply force to the take-up mechanism. In a first mode of operation, the combiner mechanism transmits rotation from the electric actuating mechanism, and in a second mode of operation, the combiner mechanism transmits rotation from the manual actuating mechanism. The method for operating the take-up mechanism uses a motor and a manual input shaft connected to a gear to operate the take-up mechanism in the first and second modes. The motor is engaged with the gear during at least the second mode of operation.
