A window regulator, including: a first guide rail; a first cursor slidably mounted to the first guide rail; a second guide rail spaced from the first guide rail; a second cursor slidably mounted to the second guide rail; a housing that is not mounted to a lower end of the first guide rail or the second guide rail; a motor mounted to the housing and operably coupled to the first cursor and the second cursor such that operation of the motor will cause the first cursor to slide along the first guide rail and second cursor to slide along the second guide rail; a cable drum rotationally mounted to the housing, the cable drum being operably coupled to the motor and a first cable secured to the cable drum at one end and the first cursor at another end; a second cable secured to the cable drum at one end and the second cursor at another end; a third cable secured to the first cursor at one end and the second cursor at another end; a first cable sheath surrounding the first cable that extends from a first feature of the first guide rail to the housing; a cable tensioner associated with the first cable sheath; a second cable sheath surrounding the second cable that extends from the housing to a second feature of the second guide rail; and a third cable sheath surrounding the third cable that extends from the a second feature of the first guide rail to a first feature of the second guide rail, wherein the window regulator is configured for raising and lowering a window of a frameless door assembly of a vehicle.

A carrier plate to which a moving object is attached and that includes a holding portion holding an end portion of a driving-force transmission member transmitting a driving force for moving the moving object is configured to include: a first surface facing a guide rail on which the carrier plate slides; a second surface placed on an opposite side of the first surface; and a side surface placed between the first surface and the second surface, the side surface including an opening portion into which the driving-force transmission member is inserted. Such a configuration can enhance the efficiency of the assembly work while suppressing an increase in size.

A window regulator assembly of a vehicle, wherein the window regulator assembly includes a carrier element. At least one pulley arrangement for redirecting a cable is mounted at the carrier element. The pulley arrangement includes a pulley which is arranged rotatable on a bearing element, which bearing element is mounted on the carrier element. The bearing element is formed by a section of a screw. The screw has adjacent to the bearing element a first thread with a first thread diameter designed to be engaged with a threaded bore in the carrier element. The screw has a second thread adjacent to the first thread with a second thread diameter that is smaller than the first thread diameter. The first thread is a self-tapping thread, which is directly screwed into the material of the carrier element.

A vehicle door including: an upright pillar sash extending in elevating/lowering directions of the window glass along one of front and rear edges of window glass; and an elevating/lowering mechanism that operates elevating/lowering movement of the window glass by a driving force of a drive source. The upright pillar sash includes: a design part on a vehicle exterior side; and a main body on vehicle interior side relative to the design part, the elevating/lowering mechanism includes: a slider secured to the glass; a guide rail that guides the slider to move in the elevating/lowering directions; and a transmission member that transmits the driving force from the drive source to the slider, the main body of the upright pillar sash houses the slider, guide rail, and transmission member, and the guide rail regulates movement of the slider in both vehicle interior/exterior directions, on a vehicle interior surface side of the glass.

A driver for a vehicle window regulator, having a pane holder for fastening to a window pane, and a rail slider with a guide region and a sliding insert lying therein. The pane holder has an approximately cylindrical connecting section which is inserted along an axial direction into a holder section of the rail slider and is surrounded by said holder section at least in sections along a circumferential direction, and the connecting section has a receptacle and the holder section has a passage opening, which receptacle and passage opening are arranged aligned with each other along a radial direction, and a joining pin is inserted into the passage opening and the receptacle.

A window lift system including a first guide rail including a first stop, a second guide rail which has a second stop in an upper end region, a first slider guided on the first guide rail, second slider guided on the second guide rail, cable drum, and a drive cable driven by means of the cable drum and coupled to the sliders and extending through a Bowden cable sheath between the upper end region of the second guide rail and a lower end region of the first guide rail. The sliders are movable by the drive cable along the guide rails into a stop position in which the second slider lies against the second stop and the first slider is spaced apart from the first stop by a predefined distance, ranging between 0.4 percent and 1.2 percent of the length of the Bowden cable sheath.

The embodiment of the present invention discloses a special lift window for a recreational vehicle (RV), including a door-shaped frame installed on an RV wall; a damping groove for embedding a window body is provided on the door-shaped frame; the door-shaped frame is divided into a window display area and a window concealment area from up to down; a lifter bracket for fixing a window body lifter is disposed in the window concealment area; the window body lifter drives the window body to move reciprocally between the window display area and the window concealment area; and a distance between the lifter bracket and the door-shaped frame is not smaller than a maximum thickness of the window body lifter.

A carrier plate is attached to a guide rail so as to move on the guide rail along the extending direction. An erected portion includes a first surface and a second surface which extend in an extending direction. A slit is formed by a first edge portion which is disposed on a side of the first surface of the erected portion and a second edge portion which is disposed on a side of the second surface of the erected portion. A cutout portion which includes an opening facing the erected portion is provided in at least one of the first edge portion and the second edge portion. The cutout portion includes a space portion which allows grease to be stored therein. The grease stored in the cutout portion is applied to the erected portion which slides in the slit when the carrier plate moves on the guide rail.

A cable guide assembly adapted for use with a guide rail for a motor vehicle, for redirecting a cable of a window regulator, includes a cable guide formed with an arc-shaped body having a cable guide groove on an outer perimeter of the arc-shaped body and a cable guide receiving site formed in the guide rail adapted to receive and mount the cable guide. The cable guide includes a cable holding tab extending outward from the arc-shaped body along a longitudinal axis and a pair of side hooks extending from an end portion of the arc-shaped body along a transverse axis. In an intermediate-installed state of the cable, the cable is set under the cable holding tab, and in a fully-installed state of the cable, the side hooks are configured to prevent the cable from coming off from the cable guide.
