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. A self-adaptive carriage can allow for pillar attachment of the door to the vehicle body at one or more of the A, B, or C pillars with reduced movement efforts and increased stability while accommodating manufacturing tolerance variation over large scale production runs.
Abstract:
A path-controlled window lifter of a motor vehicle is provided. The path-controlled window lifter comprising a driver which is connected with a window pane of the motor vehicle and can be driven by means of a drive mechanism for adjusting the window pane, and a base plate mounted in the motor vehicle and composed of a carrier part and a reinforcement part, on which at least two guide paths are formed for guiding the driver and for adjusting the driver along an adjustment path formed by the guide paths. The carrier part and the reinforcement part are arranged at a distance from each other in the manner of an upper flange and a lower flange of an I-beam and are firmly connected with each other.
Abstract:
A guide rail assembly for motor vehicle window lifters and a method for the production thereof. Two guide webs having protrusions formed thereon form a guide rail on a carrier plate made from a plastic material. The guide webs may be bent elastically inwards or outwards, enabling the driving element to be clipped on by pushing it on in the vehicle's transverse direction y and considerably simplifies production in an injection moulding process because the guide rail may be removed by elastically bending the guide rails such that a smaller number of sliders is required in the moulding tool. In one embodiment, there is also provided a driving element comprising a body of a first material and, securely held therein, sliding inserts comprised of a second material which material ensures a particularly good tribological pairing with the material of the associated guide web.
Abstract:
A curved portion formed on a guide rail is sandwiched between an inscribed projection and a circumscribed projection. Therefore, a carrier plate can turn around a curving center of the inscribed projection. Even when the guide rail is twisted, an element to be guided and the carrier plate can turn in accordance with the twist, a prying force is reduced, and the carrier plate can vertically move smoothly.
Abstract:
A device comprising a guide having a first pair of substantially parallel running surfaces, which are placed along a first track at a lateral distance apart, and a second pair of substantially parallel running surfaces, which are placed along a second track at a lateral distance apart. The second pair of running surfaces extends, at a crossing or junction, transversely to the first pair of running surfaces. A carrier is displaceable over at least the running surfaces and has a bearing axle, extending transversely to the running surfaces, for fastening of a load, which bearing axle extends between the running surfaces. The device, close to the crossing junction, has a transport mechanism. The transport mechanism is movable between a take-up position in the first track, for load-bearing engagement with the carrier, and a delivery position in the second track, for release of the carrier. The invention further relates to a rail system and a transport mechanism.
Abstract:
A sliding block guide for openable motor vehicle roofs or vehicle hatches, with a guideway which has a guide channel (40), and a sliding block (11) which is movably guided in the guide channel along the guideway, the guideway has at least one essentially linear guideway area (47, 48) and at least one curved guideway area (49). To improve the curve handling capacity of the sliding block, the guide channel (40) is made wider in the area of the curved areas (49) of the guideway (12) than in the area of the essentially linear guideway areas (47, 48).

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 mounted within the vehicle door and having a base portion with a pair of side flange portions. A first of the pair of side flange portions has a nose portion extending laterally outwardly therefrom. A second of the pair of side flange portions has a convex exterior surface. A window moving structure engages the window panel and has a base member and a pair of side leg portions extending from opposing sides thereof. One of the side leg portions has a nose-receiving groove 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 of the guide rail member is received within the nose-receiving groove of the window moving structure and the convex exterior surface of the guide rail member is slidably engaged with an inwardly facing surface of another of the side leg portions of the window moving structure opposite the nose-receiving groove such that (1) relative pivotal movement between the guide rail member and the window moving structure about a fixed pivot axis extending longitudinally through the nose portion is permitted and (2) relative movement between the guide rail member and the window moving structure in a radial direction with respect to the fixed pivot axis 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:
Herein disclosed is a window regulator for regulating a glass pane, which comprises a guide rail including front and rear vertical parts and a horizontal part which extends between the front and rear vertical parts to constitute a generally U-shaped structure of the guide rail; front and rear holders slidably guided by the front and rear vertical parts of the guide rail; a first structure securing each of the front and rear holders to the window pane; a second structure for defining in the guide rail two cable guide grooves which extend throughout the entire length of the guide rail; two drive cables axially movably received in the respective cable guide grooves, the drive cables having given portions to which the front and rear holders are connected respectively; and drive means mounted on a given portion of the guide rail for axially moving the two drive cables in opposite directions.
Abstract:
Herein disclosed is an improved door window pane guide device which comprises a guide rail having a substantially right-angled side wall which is curled at its leading end portion to form a tubular guide portion, and a carrier unit which is movable along the guide rail together with a window pane secured to the carrier unit. The carrier unit has two plastic sliders which are respectively formed with aligned rectangular grooves into which the tubular guide portion of the guide rail is slidably received upon assembly of the window pane guide device. In order to prevent disengagement of the first and second sliders from the tubular guide portion of the guide rail, an axially extending lug portion is formed on each of the first and second sliders to narrow the entrance portion of the groove, or another slider is arranged between the first and second sliders, which has a right-angled head which slidably engages with the tubular guide portion in a manner to restrict displacement of the first and second sliders in a direction away from the tubular guide portion.
