Abstract:
It is provided a window regulator assembly of a motor vehicle, comprising: a carrier; a guiding device provided on the carrier for guiding a flexible traction means via which an adjusting force produced on an adjustment drive can be transmitted to a window pane to be adjusted; a flexible traction means guided on the guiding device on which at least one driver is fixed, via which the window pane to be adjusted can be connected with the flexible traction means, so that when a force is introduced into the flexible traction means, the driver together with a window pane attached thereto is adjusted by an adjustment drive along a longitudinally extended adjustment path defining an adjustment surface a socket for bearing a deflection element by means of which the flexible traction means can be deflected; and a deflection element pivotally mounted on the socket.
Abstract:
This window regulator 1 is provided with a guide rail 31, a carrier plate 32, an ascending-side cable 33, and a descending-side cable 34. The carrier plate 32 has an ascending-side end holder 79 that houses an end 33a of the ascending-side cable 33, and a descending-side end holder 71 that houses an end 34a of the descending-side cable 34. The ascending-side end holder 79 is provided such that the ascending-side cable 33 is outside the guide rail 31. The descending-side end holder 81 is provided such that the descending-side cable 34 is on the guide rail 31. When the carrier plate 32 ascends and descends, the carrier plate 32 ascends and descends along the edges of the guide rail 31. Therefore, in the window regulator, abnormal noise can be suppressed.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a pulley apparatus which can be suppressed in shakiness without being deteriorated in workability in fitting the pulley apparatus to a vehicle body. The pulley apparatus has: a pulley case CA disposed on one side of a vehicle body panel 11a making up the vehicle; a pulley 80 disposed rotatable in the pulley case CA; and a cable guide disposed in the pulley case CA, wherein the cable guide comes in slide contact with a cable 18 led from the same side as the guide rail 11a in the vehicle body panel 11a, and curves the cable 18 along vehicle body panel 11a to direct the cable 18 to the pulley 80. As a result, when a load “F” is applied to the cable 18, the case body 40 can be pressed against the vehicle body panel 11a, thereby suppressing the shakiness of the pulley case CA. Furthermore, since the load presses the pulley case CA against the vehicle body panel 11a, without providing the pulley case (fitting portion), it is possible to prevent an increase in size of the pulley case CA and deterioration of workability in fitting the pulley case CA to the vehicle body.
Abstract:
An appliance including a treatment container having a container door pivotable about a pivot axis, and a door-weight compensating device for at least partially compensating a weight of the container door. The door-weight compensating device may include a spring which is connected by a tension transmitter in a spring force transmitting manner to the container door. In an exemplary embodiment, the container door includes a deflector pivotally disposed about the pivot axis, the deflector having at least two sliding surfaces for deflecting the tension transmitter.

[Problem] A subject is to provide a window regulator and a jig which facilitate assembly.[Means for Resolution] A wind regulator includes a drum configured to be able to rotate in a normal direction/reverse direction, an annular wire 71 partly wound around a drum, guide members 81, 83, 91 and 93 configured to guide the wire 71 in such a manner that the wire 71 is arranged along a direction of upward and downward movement of a window glass 53, slack preventing means configured to urge the wire 71 in a stretching direction and eliminate the slack of the wire 71, and window glass mounting means 101 and 103 configured to mount the window glass 53 to a portion of the wire 71 extending along the direction of upward and downward movement of the window glass 53, and a bracket 131 being mounted rotatably on the inner panel and having the guide member 83, and being configured to guide the guide member 83 to a mounting position on the inner panel is provided.
Abstract:
A sliding door drive assembly is used with a motor vehicle having an electric energy source and a sliding door. The sliding door drive assembly includes a motor that is electrically connected to the electric energy source. The motor converts electric energy into a rotating force. The sliding door drive assembly also includes a transmission that is operatively connected to the motor for transmitting the rotating force to an output shaft. A cable drum is fixedly secured to the output shaft and rotates with the output shaft. First and second cables are wound about the cable drum in opposite directions. The first cable extends from the cable drum forward along a path to the sliding door. The second cable extends from the cable drum rearward along the path toward the sliding door. The sliding door drive assembly also includes support guides extending tangentially out from the cable drum to guide the first and second cables outwardly and away from the cable drum along a path minimizing frictional forces.
Abstract:
A brake device (1) is for use with a cable-operated door (3), such as garage doors (3) and the like. The device (1) is intended to reduce the risk of the door (3) falling, or at the very least slow down its descent, in the event of a failure in the counterbalancing mechanism of the door (3), which is generally represented by a loss of tension in a given tensioned cable (5) operating the door (3). The brake device (1) includes a support bracket (9), and a guiding assembly (15) and a braking assembly (17) mounted onto the support bracket (9). The braking assembly includes a swivel component (18) having a braking arm (19) and a lever portion (20), the lever portion cooperating with the tensioned cable (3) so that in the event of the loss of tension in the cable (5), the braking arm (19) is urged onto an adjacent rail (7) via a biasing spring (21) for anchoring a knife (45) of the braking arm (19) into the rail (7) and stopping, or at the very least, slowing down the descent of the door (3), with respect to the rail (7).
Abstract:
A hinge assembly for coupling a sliding door of a vehicle to a drive unit for sliding the sliding door from an open position to a closed position, the drive unit causing the hinge assembly to slide within a guide track as the door moves between the open position and the closed position, the hinge assembly comprising: a first hinge portion; a second hinge portion, the first hinge portion being pivotally secured to the second hinge portion; a cable attachment being secured to the second hinge portion; and a guide surface disposed on a surface of the first hinge portion, the guide surface being configured to make contact with a portion of a cable having an end secured to the cable attachment when the second hinge portion is in a first orientation with respect to the position of the first hinge portion and the cable no longer makes contact with the guide surface as the second hinge portion moves from the first orientation to a second orientation with respect to the first hinge portion.
Abstract:
This window regulator is constituted by a rail which is obtained in a single piece, by injection of a light-weight metallic alloy, integrating a great many of the window regulator components, like for example: the supports (1) for fastening the window regulator to the door of the vehicle, the support (2) and anchoring elements (6) for the drive motor used in the systems of electric window regulators, the coupling elements (5) of the Bowden system for tensioning the cable (4), necessary in the manually operated systems, the housing (8) for the cable-winding drum, the sliding or diverting elements (3) of the cable (4). Moreover, the rail leaves the mould, with an appropriate curvature for correctly following the window. glass, even though the latter has a very complex shape. Thus, the same rail can be used indistinctly for manual window regulators, electric window regulators and dual rail window regulators.
