VEHICLE DOOR ASSEMBLY
A vehicle door assembly with an inner door panel, an outer door panel and a reinforcement assembly. A first attachment area is defined adjacent to an upper edge and a forward edge and a second attachment area is defined adjacent to the upper edge and a rearward edge of the inner door panel. The inner door panel and the outer door panel are fixedly attached to one another and define a hollow space therebetween. The reinforcement assembly has a first end fixedly attached to the first attachment area of the inner door panel and a second end fixedly attached to the second attachment area of the inner door panel. A mid-section extends of the reinforcement assembly extends along the upper edge of the outer door panel. The mid-section of the reinforcement assembly and the upper edge of the inner door panel define a window receiving slot therebetween.
Window lifter assembly with multipart pane guide element for a flush pane design, and assembly method
It is provided a window lifter assembly, comprising an adjustable window pane for a vehicle window lifter, in which the window pane in a closed state is flush with upper and/or lateral body parts which border a window opening, to be closed by the window pane, in a window frame. The window lifter assembly furthermore has at least one pane guide element which is fixed on the window pane in the region of a lateral pane edge and at least one frame-side guide element at which the pane guide element is held displaceably on the window opening. The at least one pane guide element is of multi-part design with at least one first guide part and a second guide part.
WINDOW ARRANGEMENT FOR A RAIL VEHICLE
A window arrangement for a rail vehicle includes a window pane disposed in a movable sliding frame and having at least one open position, a closed position and a transport position. The movable sliding frame is disposed in a window guiding frame, and the window pane has a larger surface than a corresponding window opening of the window guiding frame.
RAIL ADJUSTER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WINDOW REGULATOR SYSTEMS
A rail adjuster for mounting a rail of a window regulator assembly to an adjacent fixed surface of a closure panel of a vehicle, the rail adjuster comprising: a mount body for mounting to the rail, the mount body defining an adjustment axis; an adjustment body coupled to the mount body and also for mounting to the adjacent fixed surface; and an adjuster portion positioned between the adjacent fixed surface and the adjustment body, the adjuster portion providing said coupled by passing through an aperture of the adjustment body in order to engage with the mount body; wherein operation of the adjuster portion causes a change in an initial length of the rail adjuster to an adjusted length by moving the mount body relative to the adjustment body along the adjustment axis.
Window regulator
A window regulator includes a guide rail fixed to a vehicle door panel and a slider base that supports a window glass and is slidably supported in a longitudinal direction of the guide rail along sliding surfaces on a front and a back of the guide rail. The guide rail includes a sliding portion that has a first sliding surface and a second sliding surface that face one direction and another direction in a vehicle inner-outer direction. The slider base includes a grease injection portion that includes an injection space and a grease receiving portion. The injection space opens to the vehicle inner-outer direction. The first sliding surface of the guide rail is positioned inside the injection space. The grease receiving portion is positioned opposed to the second sliding surface of the guide rail. The grease receiving portion receives a grease injected in the injection space.
OPERATOR FOR VEHICLE SIDE DOOR
An operator for a vehicle side door includes: a drive unit; a pinion gear fixed to an output shaft of the drive unit; a rack including a rack gear, the rack gear being configured to engage with the pinion gear; a connecting arm pivotally supported on a vehicle body side bracket fixed to the vehicle body, the connecting arm being connected to a front end of the rack; and a contact stopper fixed to a rear end of the rack, wherein the side door moves in a direction of opening the door when the rack moves forward by the rotation of the pinion gear and the side door moves in a direction of closing the door when the rack moves backward by rotation of the pinion gear, and the contact stopper is configured to come into contact with the drive unit when the rack moves forward by a specified amount.
ADJUSTABLE LIFTER PLATE FOR FRAMELESS DOOR
An adjustable window regulator lift plate assembly for a vehicle window includes a base and a window holder. The window holder is secured to the base via a part-in-assembly fastener that extends through an aperture in the base and into an aperture formed in an inner leg of the window holder. The window holder may receive and secure a window, and the fastener may be inserted through the window holder and into a fastener plate disposed on an outer leg of the window holder. The window holder includes a curved inner surface on the inner leg, and the base includes a curved outer surface that contacts the inner leg. The window holder may be shifted and pivoted relative to the base. The fastener may be tightened to secure the window holder relative to the base in a desired pivoted position.
Rail module with cable conduits for window regulator systems
An integrated module as a window regulator assembly including: a carrier panel for mounting to a frame of a vehicle closure panel; at least one rail on the carrier panel, the rail associated with at least one cable guide in conjunction with a regulator carriage, the regulator carriage for coupling to a window of the closure panel; a drive mechanism on the carrier panel, the drive mechanism for operating the regulator carriage along a track of the rail; a cable assembly coupling the regulator carriage to the drive mechanism via the cable guide, the cable assembly including a conduit connected at one end to the rail and connected at another end to the drive mechanism, the conduit containing a cable element slideably received within the conduit; wherein the cable element is unsheathed from the conduit where the cable element is in contact with the cable guide.
AUTOMOTIVE DOOR MODULE FOR WINDOW REGULATOR AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME
A vehicle door assembly includes a door module and a door panel. The door module has a back plate with a periphery bearing attachment orifices defining a base plane. At least one guide rail extends in a rail direction in a rail plane offset from the base plane and has a connected edge and a free edge. The connected edge is attached to the back plate, and the free edge is shaped for slidably attaching a carrier plate for a window. The guide rail vertically protrudes beyond the periphery of the back platen. A void in the rail plane intersects a trajectory of the connected edge. The void provides access through the rail plane to the periphery of the back plate, wherein an attachment orifice is disposed in the void. The door panel has a central hole and attachment openings aligned with the attachment orifices of the door module.
Non-module type dual regulator assembly
A non-module type dual regulator assembly includes a pair of guide rails that are separated from each other and disposed in a door of a vehicle along a direction that a window glass is raised or lowered. A pair of glass holders are coupled to one side of the window glass and movably disposed on the respective guide rails. An upper connection member has a plurality of ends fastened to upper portions of the guide rails. A lower connection member has a plurality of ends fastened to lower portions of the guide rails. A cable is coupled to the glass holders and circulatably disposed along the guide rails to raise or lower the glass holders in the same direction at the same time. A driving motor is disposed on the lower connection member and circulates the cable.
