Structural cable window lifter for vehicle doors, specifically a double guide rail structural cable window lifter that incorporates additional functional components such as the attachment means for the inner door handle, such that in an assembled position on the structure of the vehicle door the structural cable window lifter and the decorative door panel are connected through said inner door handle. Said structural cable window lifter comprises a strong structure that supports and transmits the loads generated during the operation of the window lifter, and/or the interior handle of the door, on the door structure through the guide rails, which are the only components of the structural cable window lifter joined to said door structure.

A goose neck hinge assembly for a motor vehicle includes a base portion extending from a panel attachment portion to a hinge portion, the base portion having a substantially rectangular cross section. The goose neck hinge assembly further includes a mounting bracket mounted to the motor vehicle and rotatably connected to the hinge portion of the base portion. The base portion has a first structural element includes a first material with a first material thickness and a second structural element includes a second material with a second material thickness. The first material thickness is different than the second material thickness. The first structural element forms a substantially U-shaped portion of the substantially rectangular cross section and defines a longitudinal gap, and the second structural element is disposed over the longitudinal gap.

A cover for attachment to a header of a door system. The cover may have a motor compartment, a pulley compartment, and a first window. The motor compartment may be configured to at least partially enclose a motor and the pulley compartment may be configured to at least partially enclose a pulley, where the motor is operably attached to the pulley to drive a drive member. The first window may be configured to receive a portion of the drive member extending through an exterior wall of the cover.

A vehicle window regulator includes a slider base supported on a guide rail; a drive wire connected to the slider base; a wire guide supported at one end of the guide rail and having a winding part, onto which the drive wire is wound, at a position offset from the guide rail in a vehicle width direction; and a driver which raises and lowers the slider base via the drive wire. The wire guide is supported by the guide rail by a retainer and a pressing portion, the retainer engaged with the guide rail, and the pressing portion being engaged with the guide rail to press the guide rail toward the other end of the guide rail. The pressing portion is formed at a position toward the other end and formed at a position offset from the retainer toward the winding part.

A bracket for securing a pulley or deflection ramp to a guide rail of a window regulator is provided. The bracket having: a main body portion; a pulley or ramp support extending away from the main body portion and forming a rotational pulley axis or a ramp attachment; and a load diffusing means for transferring loads applied to the pulley or the deflection ramp, wherein the main body portion extends over a top portion of the pulley or deflection ramp and a flange of the load diffusing means extends away from a distal end of the main body portion.

A hinge element for a large domestic appliance contains a main body as well as a functional body which includes a plastic material. Accordingly, the main body and the functional body are connected to one another non-releasably. Ideally, a large domestic appliance, in particular a large domestic refrigerator, contains a housing in which a receiving space is formed. The domestic appliance has a closure element by which the receiving space can be closed, and the hinge element hingedly attaches the closure element to the housing.

The present invention relates to a window regulator, and includes a guide rail provided inside a door, a pulley bracket that is fixed to the guide rail and to which a pulley that changes a moving direction of a cable is axially coupled, and a stress distribution unit configured to distribute a stress applied to the pulley.

A pivot sliding door guiding device includes a longitudinal profile with a guiding track and slider, supported on support rollers in a linearly movable manner in the guiding track, and which is connected to a door leaf and transfers a bearing load onto the slider. In the guiding track, convex bearing members extending in the longitudinal direction are disposed, on which support rollers of the slider with, in each case, peripherally extending concave guiding grooves roll and are retained in the transverse direction. The door leaf is connected to the slider whereby a center of gravity acts off-center on the slider in running and transverse directions. The slider has support rollers which serve for the load transfer of the load acting from the door leaf on the slider. The rollers roll on upper and lower convex bearing members, and transfer load of the door leaf via the convex bearing members.

A guiding device for a door system, in particular a sliding or pivot sliding door system of a public transport vehicle, includes: a longitudinal profile formed from a first material for attachment to a door portal, which has a guiding track, which is U-shaped in cross section, with a bottom surface and two side walls extending at right angles therefrom, a slider, which at least partially reaches into the guiding track and is supported on rolling members in a linearly movable manner in the guiding track, wherein a bearing member formed from a second material is disposed in the guiding track, which extends along the guiding track and on which the rolling members supporting the slider roll during a linear movement of the slider, the second material forming the bearing member is harder than the first material forming the longitudinal profile.

A vehicle tailgate lift assist system comprises a vehicle tailgate adapted to open and close by rotating about a tailgate pivot axis in relation to a vehicle body, coupling means to releasably connect the vehicle tailgate and the vehicle body, an energy storage device located within the vehicle body and adapted to be pivotally anchored to the vehicle body at one end, a crank arm pivotally attached to the energy storage device at a second end of the energy storage device and rigidly attached to an actuation shaft that is coaxially aligned with the tailgate pivot axis, and a pivot bracket assembly comprising a mounting bracket fixed to the vehicle body and holding a pivot bearing arrangement to facilitate a rotary joint about the tailgate pivot axis. The pivot bearing arrangement comprises a unitary component overmolded to a pivot sleeve to act as a bushing between the actuation shaft and the pivot sleeve, such that relative rotary motion of the tailgate and the vehicle body results in linear movement of the energy storage device and maximum energy storage at the tailgate fully open position.
