A portable window controller for operating window lift assemblies of multiple vehicles includes a controller housing that is sized to fit in a hand and a control switch that extends outward from the housing and can be actuated by the hand. The control switch is a momentary switch that is biased toward a home position and terminates power to a regulator motor when the control switch is placed in the home position.

A hinge of the type including two coaxial, overlapping constitutive wings, each of the constitutive wings being constituted by a body having an ogive profile in which a cavity is internally obtained, wherein one of the constitutive wings carries a pin of smaller diameter in a stable engagement inside the cavity, surrounded by a spring, the pivot and the spring being suitable for engagement with the cavity of the other constituent wing, the coaxial constituent wings having on the base surface of the internal cavity a tangential groove for housing the terminal appendage of the spring.

A method for assembling sub-assemblies to a receiving component in an assembly plant involves providing at least one assembly station, one or more sub-stations proximal to the assembly station, and at least one assembly device, the receiving component temporarily stopping in the assembly station, picking at least two sub-assemblies from the one or more sub-stations, and keeping the receiving component in a stationary status at least during assembling, by the at least one assembly device, the two sub-assemblies with the receiving component. In the stationary status, the receiving component remains in a same assembly status and/or in a same position and/or does not undergo other operations until the receiving component receives the at least two sub-assemblies. An assembly plant and an assembly line including the assembly plant are provided.

A method for assembling multicomponent items involves providing a first sub-assembly and a second sub-assembly, respectively picking, by a first manipulator arm and a second manipulator arm, the first and second sub-assemblies and bringing the first and second sub-assemblies to a mutual assembly position, assembling, by the first and second manipulator arms, the first and second sub-assemblies to form a joint assembly, sending a synchronous translation signal to the first and second manipulator arms, actuating a synchronous translation of the first and second manipulator arms and bringing the joint assembly to a receiving seat provided in a receiving component. An assembly station and an assembly line including the assembly station are provided.

A method for assembling two sub-assemblies involves providing a first sub-assembly and a second sub-assembly, by a first manipulator arm and a second manipulator arm, picking the first sub-assembly and the second sub-assembly, keeping the first and second sub-assemblies suspended, bringing the first and second sub-assemblies to a mutual assembly position and assembling the first and second sub-assemblies in a suspended-in-air position to form a joint assembly, avoiding all contact with any support other than the first and second manipulator arms. A method for assembling multicomponent items including the method for assembling the two sub-assemblies is provided. An assembly station and an assembly line including the assembly station are also provided.
