Abstract:
The invention relates to a door module (1) of the type formed by a single part and from a single injected material, which module comprises a substantially flat supporting face (2) and at least one guide rail (34) of a window regulator system, said rail (34) being intended to guide and maintain a motor vehicle window supporting device (32). The rail (34) forms at least part of one of the side end parts (4) of the supporting face (2), said rail (34) extending continuously with the rest of the module (1) and forming a projection (40) in relation to the supporting face (2). The rail (34) extends in at least two planes different from the plane of the supporting face (2).
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.

The invention relates to a guiding system for a sliding door, especially a motor vehicle, comprising a sliding rail (5) with an upper cover (6) and a lower edge (7) arranged opposite the upper cover (6), and a roller element (101) which is guided in the sliding rail (5) and comprises a roller element housing (102). Three rollers (103, 104) are rotatably fixed to the roller element housing (102), two rollers (103) extending along the upper cover (6) of the sliding rail (5) and the third roller (104) extending along the lower edge (7). The aim of the invention is to create one such guiding system in such a way that there is no play, it operates quietly, and has a taut system characteristic. To this end, a spring element (109) is fixed to the roller element housing (102), said spring element pressing on of the first two rollers (103) and the third roller (104) against the sliding rail (5).
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a profiled section designed to receive an externally sliding driving element which slides on the rail. Said driving element is provided with a clamp designed to fix the lower edge of the window pane. The profiled section comprises a base longitudinal zone and a longitudinal zone in contact with the driving element. The longitudinal zone in contact with the driving element has a symmetrical U-shaped cross-section. Between the branches of said U-shaped cross-section is an extension for preventing relative rotational movements. The base zone has a thickness designed to cause the two ends of the driving element to be in contact with the lower part of the longitudinal zone, thereby providing a multiple-contact zone configuration between the cross-section of the driving element and the cross-section of the profile, the symmetry of the profile enabling the stresses of the assembly formed by the driving element and the rail to be balanced, thus preventing relative rotation of the assembly.
Abstract:
A slide member for use in an automotive vehicle. The slide apparatus includes a first slide member having a slidably contacting surface. Additionally, a second slide member is provided having a slidably contacting surface which is in slidable contact with the slidably contacting surface of the first slide member. In this slide apparatus, at least one of the slidably contacting surfaces of the first and second slide members is formed of a transferable water repellent material having a water repellency and a sufficient transferability to form a transferred film of the transferable water repellent material on at least the other slidably contacting surface.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cassette for power transmission in a window winder, said cassette comprising application means for applying at least one force introducing means to the cassette. According to the invention, the application means comprise a through-opening (1) which penetrates the cassette (10) completely, from a first side thereof to a second side thereof, and the force introducing means guided through the through-opening (1) can be applied to the cassette (10) by the application means.

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.
