Abstract:
A slider (10) is provided for use with an elongated channel (12) having a pair of spaced apart side walls (14, 16) interconnected by a base wall (18) and an upper wall (20, 22) projecting from each side wall spaced from and generally parallel to the base wall. The slider has a body portion (30) defined by a top surface (32), bottom surface (34) and plurality of side surfaces (36) interconnecting the top and bottom surfaces. The slider also has a plurality of axial slots (42) extending between the top and bottom surfaces adjacent each side surface and a plurality of lateral slots (52) extending between each of the side surfaces and the respective axial slot (42) for allowing the side surface to flex and bias the slider between the side walls of the channel (12). The slider (10) further has a plurality of raised ridges (44) projecting from each of the top and bottom surfaces for flexing and biasing the slider between the upper walls and the base wall of the channel. Finally, the slider includes a plurality of semi-spherical embosses (48) extending from the top and bottom surfaces for slidably engaging and guiding the slider between the upper walls and the base wall within the channel (12).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a window lift which comprises a rope or a Bowden cable and is used in motor vehicles. The inventive window lift comprises guiding rails (2, 2') that are integrated into the base surface (B) of a carrier plate (1) pertaining to a door of a motor vehicle, whereby said rails are embodied as one component. The inventive window lift also comprises carriers (3, 3') that can be displaced along the guiding rails (2, 2') and receive a window pane as well as reversing devices (5, 5' or 6, 6') that are arranged at the ends of the guiding rails (2, 2'). Said window lift further comprises a rope which engages with the carriers (3, 3') and a drive device and is guided via the reversing devices (5, 5' or 6, 6'). The guiding rails (2, 2') protrude from the base surface (B) of the carrier plate (1), are provided with a slit (20, 20') that extends in the longitudinal direction and are covered on the open base side thereof in a dampproof manner, whereby said base side serves for damp/wet room separation. The carriers (3, 3') are at least partially situated on the external and internal side of said guiding rails (2, 2') and pass through the respective slit (20, 20') such that said rails engage therewith.
Abstract:
The present invention is a window regulator mechanism for vertically moving a window panel mounted within a motor vehicle door. The mechanism comprises an elongated guide rail member (18) mounted within the vehicle door and having a base portion (66) with a pair of side flange portions (56, 62). A first of the pair of side flange portions (56, 62) has a nose portion (60) extending laterally outwardly therefrom. A second of the pair of side flange portions (56, 62) has a convex exterior surface (84). A window moving structure (17) engages the window panel and has a base member and a pair of side leg portions (48) extending from opposing sides thereof. One of the side leg portions has a nose-receiving groove (58) formed in an inwardly facing surface thereof. The window moving structure is slidably mounted on the guide rail member. A manually operable actuating mechanism is constructed to slidably move the window moving structure vertically along the guide rail member. The nose portion (60) of the guide rail member is received within the nose-receiving groove (58) of the window moving structure and the convex exterior surface (84) of the guide rail member (18) is slidably engaged with an inwardly facing surface (54) of another of the side leg portions (48) of the window moving structure (17) opposite the nose-receiving groove such that: a) relative pivotal movement between the guide rail member (18) and the window moving structure (17) about a fixed pivot axis (P) extending longitudinally through the nose-portion (60) is permitted and b) relative movement between the guide rail member (18) and the window moving structure (17) in a radial direction with respect to the fixed pivot axis (P) is substantially restricted to thereby reduce vibrations which occur as a result of forcibly moving the vehicle door into closing engagement with a motor vehicle body.
Abstract:
A motor vehicle sliding door that may be supported by a pillar of the motor vehicle and having a sliding door assembly with a self-adaptive carriage. The self-adaptive carriage can allow for attachment of the door to the vehicle body at the A, B, or C pillars with reduced movement efforts and increased stability while accommodating manufacturing tolerance variation over large scale production runs.
Abstract:
Es wird eine Anordnung von einem entlang einer Rahmenstruktur horizontal verschiebbar geführten ersten Flächenelement (10) und einem zweiten Flächenelement (20) angegeben, wobei das erste Flächenelement (10) etwa die doppelte Breite (W1) des zweiten Flächenelements (20) aufweist. Mit dem Ziel, auch besonders breite und schwere erste Flächenelemente (10) sicher und schwingungsfrei führbar zu machen, sieht die erfindungsgemäße Lösung vor, dass das erste Flächenelement (10) eine vertikale Mittelachse (M) aufweist, an welcher es an dessen Oberseite (11) horizontal zentriert am drehbaren Teil (41) eines oberen Laufwagens (40) und an welcher es an dessen Unterseite (12) horizontal zentriert am drehbaren Teil (31) eines unteren Laufwagens (30) befestigt ist, wobei der obere und der untere Laufwagen (30, 40) der horizontalen Führung des ersten Flächenelements (10) dienen, wobei das erste Flächenelement (10) an seiner vertikal verlaufenden lateralen Endseite (14) an einer vertikal verlaufenden ersten lateralen Endseite (23) des zweiten Flächenelements (20) verschwenkbar befestigt ist, und wobei das zweite Flächenelement (20) an einer vertikal verlaufenden zweiten lateralen Endseite (24) an einem vertikal verlaufenden Teil (50) der Rahmenstruktur angeordnet ist, sodass das zweite Flächenelement (20) verschwenkbar um eine vertikale längsseitige Schwenkachse (51) an der Rahmenstruktur befestigt ist.
Abstract:
In an aspect, the invention is directed to a window regulator assembly that includes a carrier, a set of lifter plates, a drive motor and drive cables for operatively connecting the drive motor to the lifter plates. At least one rail may be integral with the carrier. The carrier has a carrier seal that is co-molded therewith. The carrier has a pulley assembly thereon that includes a pulley and a pulley bearing member that has a pulley bending load bearing surface that is conical and that mates with a carrier bending load bearing surface that is inner-conical. The lifter plate is capable of a relatively strong connection to a vehicle window. The lifter plate has a window pass-through member that passes through a locking aperture in the vehicle window. The window pass-through member has two ends and is supported at both ends against vertical withdrawal of the vehicle window. The lifter plate also has a reduced tendency to bind when in use. The lifter plate has lateral engagement surfaces that are for engagement with lateral guide surfaces and has cable mounts for receiving drive cables. The cable mounts are positioned laterally between the lateral engagement surfaces. Additionally, the vehicle window lifter plate has lateral engagement surfaces that are for engagement with lateral guide surfaces. The lateral engagement surfaces are biased against the lateral guide surfaces, thereby giving the lifter plate the capability to accommodate lateral forces with a reduced tendency to bind. A wiring harness clip for holding wiring harnes ses to the carrier is provided. The wiring harness clip has two clip elements that together define a wiring harness retaining aperture in a longitudinal direction and an inlet thereto. The wiring harness inlet is canted to a non-zero angle relative to the longitudinal direction. The perpendicular spacing between the two clip elements is larger than the distance between them in the transverse direction.
