Abstract:
The invention concerns a window lifter (1) comprising a cable (11a, 11b), a window linkage (7) driven by the cable, a fixed device (3, 4), a cable redirecting device (13) rotatably mounted on the fixed device and adapted to automatically lock onto the fixed device upon reaching a predetermined angular position and having a cable guiding portion (12) which is not a figure of revolution about the axis of rotation relative to the fixed device. This window lifting mechanism provides a simple structure with few elements. Its assembly is also very simple.
