Abstract:
A window lifter includes at least one panel, a rail for guiding a slider, and a lower attachment of the lower end of the rail to the panel able selectively to cause the rail to slide transversely with respect to the panel, and a one-piece upper attachment of the upper end of the rail to the panel able to cause the upper end of the rail to pivot with respect to the panel about a longitudinal axis. The window lifter makes it possible to reduce the number of parts in a window lifter and makes it easier to assemble.
Abstract:
A window regulator and method for assembling a vehicle door incorporating it are provided. The method comprises inserting the screw thread of a screw with two heads into the screw thread of a plate secured to an outer panel of the door. The screw passes through an oblong hole in a lug substantially perpendicular to a slider guide of a window regulator rail. The transverse position of the rail with respect to the screw is adjusted. The screw is tightened using its upper head. The screw is loosened later using the lower screw head. The adjustment of the transverse position of the rail is then tweaked and the screw is tightened again using the lower screw head. This makes assembling and adjusting the transverse position of a window in a vehicle door easier.
Abstract:
This device comprises arms (1, 2) arranged in X configuration, a shaped rail (11) inside which there are mounted rollers (5, 6) to which are articulated the ends of the arms (1, 2), one (6) of the rollers being provided with means for blocking in the rail while the other roller (5) can slide in the latter; the means for blocking the said roller (6) comprise an elastic clamp (13) with two branches (14) shaped so as to be able to cap the opposite ends of the roller, and through-holes for these branches are made in the walls of the rail so that the said branches pass through the rail from one side to the other, clamping the roller between them. This clamp is easy to install and can be fitted to existing rollers, which avoids the use of special components and therefore decreases the manufacturing costs of the device.
Abstract:
A vehicle window regulator includes a fixing lug including a first part for fixing to a window guide rail having a window-guiding direction and a second part for fixing to a vehicle body. The second part defines a plane, and a normal line perpendicular to the plane that is inclined relative to the window-guiding direction. The normal line is preferably inclined at an angle of approximately 45° relative to the window-guiding direction. The lug can be fixed in the vehicle body without the lug turning on itself during fixing by screwing for example.
Abstract:
This panel is provided on its face turned towards the inside of the door with means for the fastening and preassembly on this panel of internal elements (8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) of the door, in particular window lift (8), lock (12), slide (11) for guiding and locking the window in the lowered position, and inside opening control (13), and these elements are provided with means for fastening to a panel (2) forming a structure inside the door. This arrangement considerably simplifies the structure of the door by eliminating an internal plate supporting the elements, while at the same time enabling the trim panel (7) to be disassembled easily, and consequently servicing to be carried out on the various elements.
Abstract:
A latch assembly is provided, the latch assembly having: a chassis, a latch bolt having a closed position and an open position, a pawl having an engaged position and a disengaged position, an eccentric arrangement defining an eccentric axis and a pawl axis remote from the eccentric axis, wherein when the pawl moves from the engaged position to the disengaged position the eccentric arrangement rotates about the eccentric axis to move the pawl axis from a first pawl axis position to a second pawl axis position, a retaining mechanism having a retaining position at which the pawl axis is held in the first pawl axis position and having a non-retaining position at which the pawl axis is allowed to move to the second pawl axis position, a release lever configured to move the retaining mechanism between the retaining position and the non-retaining position.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor vehicle door, consisting of an interior sheet metal and an exterior sheeting, together which form a hollow interior space of the door, having an opening in the interior sheet metal and having a carrier module that closes said opening, and carries at least one functional part of the motor vehicle door, such as a hinge part, lock part or window lifter part. In order to simplify the assembly of a motor vehicle door it is proposed that the vehicle door (10) features, apart from the opening (18) in the interior sheet metal (12) which may be closed by means of a carrier module, an additional access opening (22) adequately large for inserting the carrier module, including the at least one functional part, into the interior space (16) of the door and that the carrier module consists of a base plate (20) which closes the opening (18) of the interior sheet metal (12) from the side of the hollow interior space (16) of the door.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a window regulator of an automobile vehicle quarter panel, which comprises a support plate having two cam grooves substantially offset in an oblique direction, a mobile carrier supporting a windowpane guided by the cam grooves, a cable winding drum connected to the mobile carrier by an upper cable passing over an upper return pulley and by a lower cable passing over a lower return pulley. The lower return pulley is arranged in height between the height of the lower ends of the two cam grooves. This allows the total height of the support plate to be decreased.
Abstract:
This mechanism (3) for linking an opening handle (4) to a lock pin (2) comprises a calliper (6) interacting with the handle (4), a rod (11) engaged so as to slide in only one direction in a sleeve (13) at the lower end of which the pin (2) is inserted; the sleeve (13) is equipped with a ring (19) which is slidably fitted around the sleeve and can be moved during set-up from a first position at the base of the flexible arms (14) to a second position situated at the ends of the arms nearest the calliper (6), in which position the ring (19) clamps the arms (14) around the rack (12) and is held in place by suitable means (23, 24). The ring (19) prevents the arms (14) and their inner teeth from coming away at all from the rack (12), thereby guaranteeing the total irreversibility of the mechanism in both directions of the link.
