Abstract:
A window regulator, e.g., for a vehicle window, which includes opposing block and pulley arrangements that interact via a lift pulley (36) mounted to a lift plate (16) that slides along a rail (22). Operative movement of a crank assembly (44) in a first sense tensions a cable (32a) to move the lift plate (16) towards a first end (34a) of the rail (22), and operative movement of the crank assembly (44) in a second sense, opposite the first sense, tensions a cable (32b) to move the lift plate (16) towards a second end (34b) of the rail (22). The regulator enables the reduction of the operating torque requirements without affecting the packaging of the crank assembly.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a curved vehicle door, with a correspondingly curved window pane and a correspondingly curved function support, upon which all the component pieces and door skins are mounted and which can serve as occupant protection in the case of a militant attack. The function support is provided with overlapping reinforcements, running along parallel lines in at least two parallel planes and is advantageously formed in a sandwich manner from at least two shell bodies with longitudinal and transversal reinforcements within a completely enclosed shell, the outer shell body of which comprises at least two parallel grooves for mounting a window winding device, which matches the curve of the vehicle door.

The invention is characterized in that at least one element of the electric motor (1), for example, at the driving shaft (9), the magnetic short-circuit (5) or the motor side crankcase casing (11), additionally provides a gear box (2) mechanical feature and/or in that a mechanical member, for example, a gear box (12) side crankcase casing, provides an electric motor (1) or electronic control device (15) feature.
Abstract:
An opening and closing device, comprising a pair of rails (17), a lid (13) opening and closing an opening part (12) along the rails, right and left side cables (26) engaged with the lid (13) and routed along the rails (17), and a drive mechanism (36) for drivingly reciprocate the cables, wherein the cables (26) form a closed loop routing around the opening part in a roof of a car, and one cable (26) coming from the drive mechanism (36) is routed to the right side cable (17b), passed to the left side rail (17a), reversed at the end part of the left side rail (17a), and returned to the drive mechanism through the same route.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a synchronous motor with an electronic control for adjustment devices to be used in motor vehicles, especially for adjustment devices with an anti-trap protection and/or an excessive force limitation. According to the invention, a sealing element (2') is interposed between the stator (1a) and the rotor (1b) which subdivides the motor into a dry space that comprises the electrical components and into a wet space. The invention further relates to a method for controlling a motor drive for adjustment devices to be used in motor vehicles by means of an electronic control, especially for controlling adjustment devices with an anti-trap protection and/or with an excess force limitation.
Abstract:
A door module for a door of a motor vehicle includes a support panel (18) of molded plastic material; a structural member (20) of metallic material which is secured to the support panel; and a window regulator (12) having a cable (16). The window regulator is secured to the support panel or the structural member. The support panel has at least one cable guide channel (22) integrally molded therein for guiding a cable of a window regulator. This arrangement provides easier installation of door components, increased rigidity and strength for the door, and possible reduction in the number of components for the window regulator.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a window raiser comprising a lifting member (19) acting as a grip on the pane (17) to actuate same, a reversible electrically-operated motor (20) designed to drive the lifting member (19), a drive mechanism (27) converting the rotational movement of the electrical motor (20) into a lifting movement of the lifting member (19), and a safety device (23) to limit the locking force. At least one spring is provided inside the drive system (27) to prevent an extreme increase of the locking force from occurring during the lapse of time between the moment when a signal is generated to cut off the engine and the actual engine cut-off (20). The device is characterized in that it causes a spring excursion inside the drive mechanism if the lifting force requested from the lifting member exceeds the maximum locking force.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a device for operating a movable covering element (10) arranged for guided displacement movements along opposite side edges between open and closed positions while being driven by a drive means (15) arranged in a space adjoining the covering element path of movement. In accordance with the invention the drive means is formed by a drive belt (13) which is arranged to travel about spaced apart deflecting members and which is connected with the covering element at spaced-apart attachment places in such a manner as to produce the covering element movements by advancing one run of the drive belt in a direction away from or towards the respective deflecting member.
Abstract:
A cable-drum window regulator (10) for controlling the motion of a windowpane (9), such as a window in a door (8), has an improved glider assembly (140). The glider assembly is attached to the windowpane (9), and comprises a glider (102) slidably secured by snap fit to an elongate guide rail (104), and a glider plate (106) which snap fits to the glider (102). The glider assembly travels along the guide rail from a full-up to a full-down position. The glider (102) preferably has a cushioning unitary downstop (99) to absorb the loading of the glider assembly at the full-down position. The glider has at least a pair of rail tabs (81) which snap fit to longitudinally extending receiving flanges (101) of the rail (104); preferably at least one of the rail tabs has a beveled surface (82) for ease in assembly. The glider has at least one flexible finger (90a, 90b) with a digit (91) which snaps into a corresponding receiving opening (108) in the glider plate (106). In those embodiments with more than one flexible finger, one finger is preferably longer than the other. The glider plate (106) may be snap fit directly to the glider or it may be inserted from one side into a slot between glider plate retention tabs (85) and snapped into place. The glider plate (106) has a center portion (107) and a first and second wing(103, 105); preferably the first and second wings are positioned in an offset plane closer to the windowpane. For ease of assembly, the first wing (105) may be smaller than the center portion (107) and the slot, and the second wing (103) may be larger than the center portion and the slot.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cable-operated window lifter for vehicles, especially motor vehicles, with a drive unit for the cable (29) of the cable control (15) which is taken along at least one substantially vertical run via deflection devices (16) and is connected in this section to a driver (14) by which the window (9) is held preferably by its lower edge, the side edges (10, 11) of the window (9) being guided by rails (12, 13) on the vehicle side or on the door side. To ensure simple and precise guiding of the window with a simplified construction, at least one driver (14) is moved up and down with the cable (29) without separate guides and the deflection devices (16) for the cable (29) are arranged on the guide rails (12, 13) for the window (9).
