Description

The proposed solution relates to a window regulator assembly for adjusting a window pane.

Such a window lifter assembly includes, among other things, a window pane that can be adjusted between two end positions, the window pane being adjustable in at least two different adjustment directions to assume one of the end positions, usually that end position in which the window pane completely closes a window opening. For example, from the DE 37 40 034 A1 a window lifter assembly is known in which the window pane in the end position, in which the window pane is completely closed, terminates essentially flush with at least one body part bordering the window opening. In a so-called flush pane concept implemented here (also referred to as "flush glass" or "flush glazing"), the window pane is flush with the upper and/or side body parts in its closed position, so that the window pane, when looking at its outside, is not opposite to the it is arranged set back surrounding body parts. Rather, the impression created here is of a continuous, flat pane and body surface on the side of the vehicle.

the DE 37 40 034 A1 proposes that the vehicle window over most of its adjustment range between the two end positions along a first. Adjustment and in this case is vertically adjustable substantially along a vertical axis of the vehicle. Before reaching the upper end position, in which the window pane completely closes the window opening, an adjustment in a second adjustment direction is imposed on the window pane and this adjustment is superimposed with the adjustment along the first adjustment direction. The window pane thus undergoes a pivoting and/or sliding movement in the direction of the outside of the vehicle, so that when it assumes its upper end position it is flush with the body parts surrounding the window opening. the DE 37 40 034 A1 provides that the window pane is connected in the region of its bottom edge to a connecting element which is articulated to a guide element in the form of a pivoted lever. The guide element is movably guided on a guide rail that extends essentially along the first adjustment direction and is deflected in the area of an upper area of the guide rail near the door sill in order to force the window pane to perform an (additional) adjustment movement essentially along the horizontal to assume its upper end position.

A comparable window assembly is in the DE 102 57 688 A1 described.

Especially those from the DE 37 40 034 A1 known window lifter assembly for adjusting a window pane, which in an upper end position, in which the window pane is completely closed, is flush with adjacent body components that delimit a window opening to be closed by the window pane, but are closed in terms of stability, mountability and sealing of the window opening Condition of the window pane could be improved.

Thus, there is a need for a window regulator assembly that is improved in this regard.

Against this background, a window regulator assembly according to claim 1 and a vehicle door with a window regulator assembly according to claim 20 are proposed, with which the aforementioned disadvantages can be overcome or at least reduced.

• - eine zwischen zwei (oberen und unteren) Endlagen verstellbare Fensterscheibe,
• - zwei mit der Fensterscheibe verbundene Verbindungselemente, die jeweils einen Führungsabschnitt aufweisen, und
• - eine Führungsschiene zur Vorgabe einer Verstellbahn für die Verbindungselemente und die damit verbundene Fensterscheibe.

A window regulator assembly provided according to a first aspect of the proposed solution comprises at least

• - a window pane adjustable between two (upper and lower) end positions,
• - Two connecting elements connected to the window pane, each having a guide portion, and
• - A guide rail for specifying an adjustment path for the connecting elements and the associated window pane.

• - die Führungsschiene eine erste Führungskulisse aufweist,
• - zusätzlich zwei an der Führungsschiene verschieblich gelagerte Führungselemente vorgesehen sind, die jeweils eine zweite Führungskulisse aufweisen, und
• - die Führungsabschnitte der Verbindungselemente sowohl an der der ersten Führungskulisse der Führungsschiene als auch an der zweiten Führungskulisse der Führungselemente verschieblich gehalten sind, wodurch den Verbindungselementen bei Verschiebung der Führungselemente entlang der Führungsschiene, um die Fensterscheibe in Richtung der einen Endlage zu verstellen, zunächst eine Verstellbewegung entlang einer ersten Verstellrichtung und anschließend eine Verstellbewegung entlang einer zu der ersten Verstellrichtung verschiedenen zweiten Verstellrichtung vorgegeben ist.

The guide sections of the connecting elements are guided along the guide rail, with the connecting elements and thus also the window pane connected to them being adjusted in at least two different adjustment directions by means of the guide rail in order to assume one of the end positions. In addition, it is provided that

• - the guide rail has a first guide link,
• - In addition, two on the guide rail displaceably mounted guide elements are provided, each having a second guide link, and
• - The guide sections of the connecting elements are held displaceably both on the first guide slot of the guide rail and on the second guide slot of the guide elements, whereby the connecting elements when shifting the Füh tion elements along the guide rail in order to adjust the window pane in the direction of one end position, initially an adjustment movement along a first adjustment direction and then an adjustment movement along a second adjustment direction different from the first adjustment direction is specified.

The proposed guidance of the guide sections of the connecting elements connected to the window pane on two different first and second guide links of the guide rail on the one hand and the guide elements movably mounted on the guide rail on the other hand can thus be used to implement an adjustment movement of the window pane, in which the window pane can be moved in a large part of the adjustment range between the adjusted both end positions along the first adjustment direction, in particular raised and lowered. However, in order to assume the one end position corresponding, for example, to the closed position of the window pane, the window pane is forced to adjust in at least one additional, second adjustment direction via the double link guide. The adjustment along the second adjustment direction can in particular include a pivoting movement and/or translatory adjustment transverse to the first adjustment direction. In particular, the second adjustment direction can point outwards in relation to a state of the window lifter assembly that is installed as intended on a vehicle, so that the window pane adjusted in the direction of its closed position is adjusted outwards in a last section before reaching the end position via the double link guide. As a result, the window pane is transferred into a position in which the window pane terminates flush with at least one body part bordering the window opening.

A guide section of the connecting elements connected to the window pane, in particular fixed immovably thereto, can be designed, for example, in the form of a peg or pin. For example, the guide section is designed as a guide pin that is held in a sliding manner, in particular in the first and second guide links. In principle, the connecting elements can be fixed to the window pane in different ways, for example via a screw, bolt, clip or adhesive connection.

In principle, the guide sections can be mounted in a floating manner on the first and/or the second guide link, for example by the guide sections having a smaller diameter than the respective guide link. Such a floating mounting can enable self-centering of the window pane during assembly of the window regulator assembly or during a first adjustment of the window pane into one of the end positions (with the window regulator assembly already assembled).

In one embodiment variant, the guide elements are displaceable along the first adjustment direction relative to the connecting elements when the window pane is adjusted in the direction of one end position (and thus in a last adjustment range before this end position is assumed). Due to the corresponding relative movement - which does not necessarily have to be realized by a displacement - an adjusting force can be applied to the connecting elements via the guide slot of the guide elements, which leads to an adjustment of the connecting elements along the second adjustment direction. In one development, for example, the first guide link and the second guide link are matched to one another such that when the guide elements are displaced relative to the connecting elements, an adjustment in the second adjustment direction can be forced on the connecting elements via the second guide link of the guide elements. In a section of the adjustment range before reaching the end position of the window pane, the displacement of the guide elements along the guide rail results in an adjustment of the connection elements in the second adjustment direction due to the permitted relative movement between the connecting elements and guide elements.

In one exemplary embodiment, it is provided, for example, that the first guide link provided on the guide rail has a first link section extending along the first adjustment direction and a second link section extending along the second adjustment direction. The different first and second link sections of the guide rail, on which the guide sections of the connecting elements are held displaceably, ultimately define an adjustment path for the connecting elements and thus for the section of the window pane connected to the connecting elements. In order to move the guide sections of the connecting elements along these two different link sections of the guide rail, the guide elements are used with their second guide links, on which the guide sections of the connecting elements are also held so that they can be moved. In this context, provision is then made, for example, for the guide sections of the connecting elements to be prevented from being adjusted in the first adjustment direction at an end of the first link section located in the first adjustment direction. The first leadership backdrop of leadership rail and the second guide link of the guide elements are arranged and coordinated with one another in such a way that when the guide sections are in contact with the end of the first link section lying in the first adjustment direction, a further displacement of the guide elements along the guide rail in the first adjustment direction results in a displacement of the guide sections of the connecting elements along the second guide link of the guide elements, and as a result the guide sections of the connecting elements are displaced in the direction of the second link section of the guide rail and along this second link section. The respective second guide link of the guide elements that are movably guided on the guide rail thus has a course here that shifts the guide sections and thus the connecting elements in the direction of the second link section of the guide rail and along this second link section when the guide sections of the connecting elements are ready for a further shift in the first direction of adjustment are prevented and the guide elements on the guide rail are further adjusted in this first direction of adjustment.

In an embodiment variant, the first guide link of the guide rail has a Γ-shaped section. The adjustments along the first and second adjustment directions can then be specified via this Γ-shaped section of the first guide link (“Γ” for the capital letters of the Greek letter gamma).

Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the respective second guide link of the guide elements runs at least in sections obliquely to the first adjustment direction. An adjustment movement in the direction of the second adjustment direction can be imposed on the guide section of the connecting element via the oblique course of the second guide link when the guide element is adjusted along the guide rail.

In principle, the second adjustment direction can run essentially perpendicularly, in particular exactly perpendicularly, to the first adjustment direction. In a state mounted on a vehicle as intended, for example, the second adjustment direction runs essentially along the vertical and thus along a vehicle vertical axis, while the second adjustment direction runs essentially along a horizontal in the direction of the vehicle outside (pointing outwards) and thus along a vehicle transverse axis

The two guide elements can thus be arranged one behind the other and spaced apart from one another along a direction of extension of the guide rail (which may coincide with the first adjustment direction), so that each guide element with the connecting element held thereon in a displaceable manner is assigned to a different (lateral) area of the window pane. For example, a first guide element can be assigned to an upper first area of the window pane, i.e. one that is close to the top edge of the pane, while a second guide element, which can also be moved on the guide rail, is assigned to a lower second area of the window pane, i.e. one that is close to a bottom edge of the pane.

Although this is not mandatory, it can be provided that the window pane is given an adjustment movement along two different adjustment directions by means of both guide elements. In this way, an adjusting force for adjusting the window pane up and down as well as outwards and inwards can be introduced at a number of points via a number of connecting elements fixed to the window pane. In this way, the window pane to be closed can also be pushed outwards, for example, without performing a tilting or pivoting movement, in order to assume the end position in which the window pane is completely closed and the window pane is (surface) flush with at least one adjacent body component.

Against this background, provision can also be made for two first guide links to be provided for the two guide elements. In a development, these two first guide links are provided on one and the same guide rail. In one embodiment, the two guide links are formed on different, opposite longitudinal sides of the guide rail. A guide link for a guide element is thus formed here on one longitudinal side of the guide rail, while a further guide link for the other guide element is formed on the other longitudinal side of the guide rail.

In an embodiment variant with two guide elements, a coupling element can be provided, via which the two guide elements are connected to one another. For example, the coupling element is pressure-resistant and/or designed as a coupling rod. A drive element can be provided on the coupling element, for example, by means of which an adjusting force generated by a drive unit of the window lifter assembly can be transmitted to the coupling element in order to move the guide elements along the guide rail. For example, the coupling element, which may have a high pressure, can be used to a tensile or compressive force applied to the drive element leads to a displacement of the coupling element and thus a synchronous displacement of the two guide elements connected thereto along one guide rail or along two guide rails on which the guide elements are displaceably mounted.

For example, the drive element is set up and provided for connection to a flexible traction mechanism, which can be driven by the drive unit of the window lifter assembly to generate the adjustment force. To connect to the flexible traction means, for example, a driver fixed to the traction means and the drive element can be fixed to one another.

In one embodiment variant, the drive element and the two guide elements are arranged one behind the other on the coupling element. For example, the coupling element is elongate and, when the window lifter assembly is installed as intended, extends along a direction of longitudinal extent of the guide rail, with the two guide elements located further up following the drive element in a direction pointing upwards (relative to the state installed as intended in a vehicle). .

At least one guide element and/or the drive element can also be rotatably mounted on the coupling element. At least one guide element, possibly also both guide elements and/or the drive element can thus be held rotatably on the coupling element, for example to allow a compensating movement over the adjustment range of a possibly curved window pane between the two end positions.

In one embodiment variant, the coupling element is slidably received in a guide channel of the guide rail. In this case, the coupling element can form at least one support section, via which the coupling element is supported on an inner wall of the guide channel. In a development, the coupling element forms at least two support sections, via which the coupling element is supported on different inner walls or at least on different areas of the same inner wall of the guide channel. A defined alignment of the coupling element within the guide rail can be ensured via the at least one or the at least two support sections of the coupling element.

In one embodiment variant, a fastening point for a panel extending along a lateral pane edge of the window pane is provided on the connecting elements with the guide sections guided twice in the first and second guide link. Such a fastening point can be formed, for example, by a fastening opening in the connecting element, into which a fastening element of the panel can be inserted or—when the window lifter assembly is installed as intended—is inserted.

The window regulator assembly can also include two guide rails, each with at least one connecting element guided thereon. In this way, a guide rail can be assigned to one of two lateral pane edges of the window pane. For example, a (front) guide rail is provided for guiding a front pane edge and a rear guide rail for guiding a rear pane edge of the window pane.

To simplify assembly, one variant provides that the guide rail, in particular with the guide elements that are movably mounted thereon, the connecting elements that are movably held on the first guide link of the guide rail and the respective second guide link of the guide elements, and the window pane connected to the connecting elements, are a prefabricated and (for the intended function ) forms a pre-testable assembly module that is set up and provided for assembly on a door shell of a vehicle door. The prefabricated assembly module can thus be delivered here as a structural unit and assembled on a door shell without the aforementioned components of the window lifter assembly having to be assembled individually on the door shell. In a development, the assembly module can also include two guide rails and/or at least one motorized drive for adjusting the window pane and/or a support component on which at least one guide rail and/or at least one motorized drive is arranged.

For sealing in the area of a door sill when the window pane is in one end position, a sealing element is provided on the connecting elements in one embodiment. By adjusting the window pane along the two different adjustment directions, this sealing element can be brought into sealing contact with a section of a door shell, in particular in the area of the door panel. Alternatively or additionally, a contact section for contact with a door-side seal can be provided on the connecting elements. In this case, the connecting elements form a contact section which forms a seal against a sealing element fixed to the body is pressed, while in the aforementioned case, a sealing element is provided on the connecting elements, which is brought into sealing contact with a body-mounted components.

Alternatively or in addition, in one embodiment variant, a contact section is provided on the connecting elements for acting on a decorative strip spring-mounted on the door rail. In this embodiment variant, for example, the connecting elements press via a contact section against the decorative strip spring-mounted on the door sill when the window pane is shifted into its end position via the double link guide. In the closed position of the window pane, the spring-loaded decorative strip is pressed under the action of at least one spring element in the direction of or even against the bottom edge of the window pane in order to seal the window opening in the area of the door sill.

The provision of a resiliently mounted decorative strip can also be advantageous independently of the provision of a window regulator assembly according to the first aspect.

According to a second aspect of the proposed solution, a vehicle door with an adjustable window pane of a window regulator assembly according to claim 20 is proposed. The window pane can be adjusted between a first end position and a second end position, the window pane being adjustable along two different adjustment directions to assume the second end position, in which the window pane closes a window opening. A spring-loaded decorative strip is provided on a door shoulder of the vehicle door, which is prestressed into a first adjustment position via at least one spring element and which, by the window pane adjusted into the second end position, moves from the first adjustment position into a second adjustment position against a restoring force applied by the at least one spring element is shifted.

In the case of the proposed vehicle door, the decorative strip is consequently moved into its second adjustment position by the window pane assuming its (completely) closed position. On the one hand, the window pane can be adjusted essentially vertically along a vehicle vertical axis and thus along a first adjustment direction and essentially perpendicularly thereto, along a second adjustment direction pointing outwards (relative to the vehicle interior) in order to assume the second end position. In this case, the adjustment of the decorative strip into its second adjustment position (for example downwards) is primarily caused by the adjustment of the window pane or an adjustment movement component of the window pane in the second adjustment direction. A window lifter assembly is consequently set up and provided in such a vehicle door, by moving the window pane into its second end position, in which the window pane is closed, to move the decorative strip into its second adjustment position. Under the action of the at least one spring element, in the proposed solution according to the second aspect, e.g. a sealing contact of the decorative strip on a lower edge of the closed window pane can be achieved.

The attached figures illustrate exemplary possible embodiment variants of the proposed solution.

the 21 shows a perspective side view of a (car) vehicle door T with the outer skin of the door removed, so that a door module TM accommodated in a cavity of the vehicle door T can be seen. The door module TM carries in particular components of a window lifter assembly for adjusting a window pane S. This window pane S can be adjusted between a first, lower and a second, upper end position on the vehicle door T, with the window pane S in its upper end position opening a window in the vehicle door T above a Door panel TB completely closed.

From the prior art according to 21 known door module TM has a window regulator assembly for a double-stranded window regulator for adjusting the window pane S. In this case, the window pane S can usually only be adjusted upwards from a lower end position into the upper end position along one adjustment direction. Due to the design, the window pane in its upper end position and thus the closed position is set back slightly inwards compared to the body parts of the vehicle door T bordering the window opening at the top and sides. Recently, however, so-called flush pane concepts (also referred to as "flush glass" or "flush glazing") have become very popular, in which the window pane S in its closed position is flush at least with the upper and side body parts bordering the window opening.

In order to realize such a flush pane concept, a window regulator assembly F is proposed, to which possible exemplary embodiments are given in the attached 1A until 20 are illustrated. In this case, the window pane S can be adjusted in at least two different adjustment directions in order to assume its upper end position. On the one hand, the window pane S to be closed is initially adjusted upwards—in this respect in accordance with conventional window regulators known from practice. To assume the fully closed position, however, the window pane is given an adjustment path in which the window pane S also undergoes an essentially translatory outward adjustment movement, so that the window pane S is flush with the body parts of the vehicle door T bordering the window opening. During the adjustment in a middle adjustment range between the upper and lower end positions, the window pane S is accordingly arranged slightly set back in relation to the body parts. When the upper end position is reached, the window pane is then (also) moved outwards, so that when the window pane S is in the fully closed position, the window pane S is flush with the body parts.

In the 1A until 3B an embodiment of a window lifter assembly F according to the proposed solution is shown in different views, in which the window pane S is preset to be adjusted in at least two different adjustment directions +z and +y in order to assume the upper end position.

For this purpose, the window regulator assembly F has, among other things, an elongate guide rail 1 . The guide rail 1 extends essentially along an adjustment axis along which the window pane S can be raised to its upper end position (in the adjustment direction +z) and lowered (in the opposite direction to this in the adjustment direction -z) in the direction of its lower end position. When the window lifter assembly F is installed as intended, the guide rail 1 extends at least with an upper section laterally to the window opening and thus, for example, after installation in a vehicle door T above the door rail TB.

The guide rail 1 defines a guide channel 10 in which two upper and lower guide elements 3a and 3b connected to one another via a coupling element in the form of a coupling rod 5 are displaceably guided. The guide elements 3a and 3b are held displaceably on a guide rail 1A of the guide rail 1 provided within the guide channel 10 . A connecting element 2a or 2b is connected to each of the guide elements 3a and 3b, to which the window pane S is respectively attached. The connecting elements 2a and 2b spaced apart from one another along the guide rail 1 are assigned to an upper area on the one hand and a lower area on the other hand to a lateral pane edge of the window pane S.

An adjustment force can be introduced into the coupling rod 5 via a drive element 4 provided at a lower end of the coupling rod 5 in order to displace the guide elements 3a and 3b in the guide channel 10 along the guide rail 1 . Each connecting element 2a, 2b engages via a guide section in the form of a guide pin 21 both in a guide link 11 or 12 of the guide rail 1 and in a second guide link 31 running obliquely to the adjustment direction +z on a guide body 30 of the respectively associated guide element 3a or 3b. The connecting elements 2a and 2b connected to the window pane S are given an adjustment path via (first) guide links 11 and 12 on the guide rail 1 and via the further (second) guide link 31 of the respectively associated guide element 3a or 3b - hereinafter referred to as the guide element link. which leads to an adjustment of the window pane S to be closed along the two adjustment directions +z and +y, which are essentially perpendicular to one another here.

As in particular from the synopsis of the 1A until 3B with the others 4A until 8B As can be seen, the guide rail 1 shown here for one, upper connecting element 2a has an upper guide link 11 on a rear longitudinal side of the guide rail 1 (on the right in a side view on an outside of the window pane S), while a lower guide link 12 for the other, lower connecting element 2b is formed on the opposite, front (left) longitudinal side of the guide rail 1. Both guide links 11 and 12 of the guide rail 1 each have two link sections 110, 111 and 120, 121, respectively. The one, first connecting link section 110, 120 runs essentially along the longitudinal extension direction of the guide rail 1 and thus gives the respective connecting element 2a, 2b an adjustment movement along the first adjustment direction +z upwards in the direction of the upper end position (or in the adjustment direction -z in the direction of the lower end position when lowering the window pane S). In the area of an upper end of each of the guide links 11, 12, the respective first link section 110 or 120 transitions into a second link section 111 or 121. This second link section 111, 121 extends essentially perpendicularly to the first link section 110 or 120 in the +y direction, so that the respective guide link 11 or 12 has a Γ-shaped course at its respective upper end. It should be noted that a Γ-shaped profile is also understood to mean the profile of an “L” rotated by 180° and therefore an L-shaped profile.

If the guide element 2a or 2b connected to the window pane S is adjusted along the respective guide link 11 or 12 of the guide rail 1, the guide element 2a, 2b consequently performs an adjustment in the two different adjustment directions +z and +y when the window pane S is raised. In a first phase of the adjustment movement, the connecting element 2a, 2b is initially displaced exclusively along the adjustment direction +z along the first connecting link sections 110 and 120. To reach the final upper end position, the connecting element 2a, 2b is then adjusted via the second link section 111 or 121 transversely thereto along the adjustment direction +y. When the window lifter assembly F is installed as intended, this adjustment direction +y runs essentially horizontally along a vehicle transverse axis and points outwards. The window pane F is thus pressed outwards to reach its upper end position in order to be flush with the body parts bordering the window opening.

In order to move the respective connecting element 2a or 2b along the second link section 111 or 121, the further link guide of the guide pin 21 of the respective connecting element 2a, 2b is provided on the guide element 3a or 3b. Such are the leadership scenes 11, 12 of the guide rail 1 and the guide element links 31 of the two guide elements 3a and 3b are matched to one another in such a way that when the guide pin 21 rests against the end of the respective first link section 110 or 120 of the guide rail 1 lying in the first adjustment direction +z, a further Shifting the guide element 3a or 3b along the guide rail 1 in this first adjustment direction +z leads to a shift of the guide pin 21 of the connecting element 2a or 2b along the guide element link 21 of the guide element 3a or 3b. This is on an enlarged scale for the upper connecting member 2a and the upper guide member 3a in FIGS 4A until 4C illustrated. A guide pin 21 of a connecting element 2a, 2b can, for example, also be mounted in a floating manner on one or both guide links 11/12 and 31.

By moving the guide pin 21 along the guide element link 31 of the guide element 3a or 3b, the guide pin 21 is moved in the direction of the second link section 111 or 121 of the guide rail 1 and along this second link section 111 or 121. The guide element link 31 provided on the body 30 of a guide element 3a or 3b runs obliquely to the first adjustment direction +z, with a lower end (lying in the -z direction) of the guide element link 31 being offset in the +y direction in relation to an upper (in + z-direction lying) end of the guide element slotted link 31 is executed. Accordingly, the guide pin 21 of a connecting element 2a or 2b guided in the guide element link 31 experiences an adjustment force in the +y direction if the respective guide element 3a or 3b is adjusted further upwards in the +z direction while the guide pin 21 is at an adjustment in + z-direction is prevented by the end of the first link section 110 or 120 of the guide rail 1. The guide element 3a or 3b that is shifted further in the +z direction thus drives the associated connecting element 2a or 2b to move in the +y direction and thus along the respective second link section 111 or 121 of the guide rail 1 .

To adjust the window pane S in the direction of its lower end position from the fully closed position, the connecting element 2a, 2b is first reversed inwards in the -y direction via the guide element 3a, 3b, which is pushed down in the -z direction along the guide rail 1 horizontally displaced before the connecting element 2a, 2b (and thereby the window pane S rigidly connected thereto) is then taken further by the guide element 3a, 3b in the -z-direction and lowered downwards.

The guide links 11 and 12 provided on the guide rail 1, which is at the rear when installed or on the right when viewed from the outside, and the connecting elements 2a, 2b guided thereon are designed and coordinated in the illustrated embodiment in such a way that the adjustment movements of the two connecting elements 2a and 2b are synchronous or take place at least largely synchronously. The complete window pane S is thus essentially translationally adjusted along the two mutually perpendicular adjustment directions +z and +y. Alternatively, it is of course also conceivable that - for example via different lengths of the guide links 11 and 12 - the window pane S via the double link-guided connecting elements 2a and 2b is forced to pivot in order to assume the upper end position.

For the uniform adjustment of the connecting elements 2a, 2b, on which the window pane S is fixed in the region of a lateral pane edge, the perspective view of FIG 5 shown coupling rod 5 is provided. The pressure-rigid coupling rod 5 is housed in the guide channel 10 of the guide rail 1 and has the upper guide element 3a at its front end in the +x direction and the drive element 4 at its lower end in the -z direction. The lower guide element 3b is provided on the coupling rod 5 in a middle region between the two ends. The coupling rod 5, together with the upper and lower guide elements 3a, 3b provided thereon and the drive element 4 provided thereon, forms a guide module FM, which is movably mounted on the guide rail 1. The adjustment path along the two different adjustment directions +z, +y for assuming the upper end position of the window pane S is specified via this guide module FM in interaction with the guide links 11 and 12 of the guide rail 1 .

Deviating from the illustrated embodiment with a slightly curved guide rail 1 and a slightly curved window pane S, the guide elements 3a and 3b and/or the drive element 4 can also be rotatably mounted on the coupling rod 5 in order to provide a compensating movement for the adjustment of the window pane S over the entire Allow adjustment range between the first, lower and second, upper end position.

The drive element 4 has a connecting section 402 for introducing an adjustment force into the guide module FM. At this connection section 402, for example, the connection can be made with a flexible traction device, in particular a cable pull. Such a flexible Zugmit tel can be driven in the present case by an electromotive drive unit in order to displace the drive element 4 and thus the two guide elements 3 a and 3 b via the coupling rod 5 along the guide rail 1 . To connect to the flexible traction means, for example, a driver fixed to the traction means and the drive element 4 can be fixed to one another.

In the present case, the connecting section 402 is formed on an essentially cuboid body 40 of the drive element 4 . A sliding guide 400 is also formed on this body 40, via which the drive element 4 is held in a form-fitting manner on the guide strip 1A of the guide rail 1. For the connection to the coupling rod 5, the body 40 of the drive element 4 forms a fastening section 401, for example in the form of a fastening pin (cf 14A) .

In the 6A until 6C the adjusting movement of the window pane S when the window lifter assembly F is installed in the vehicle door T when the window pane S is closed is illustrated in different phases. When installed as intended, the window pane S in the illustrated variant of the window lifter assembly F can be extended along the first adjustment direction +z to its upper end position, initially in the area of the door sill TB of the door T, completely out of an existing gap g from the cavity inside the door T. In order to then assume the intended end position, in which the window pane S is flush with the window opening at the top and sides of the body parts bordering it, the window pane S is shifted outwards in the +y direction via the double link-guided connecting elements 2a and 2b. As a result, the window pane S completely bridges the gap g on the door sill TB and is thus in contact with the door sill TB in the area of its lower edge of the pane.

the 7 illustrates in a perspective view looking at the front longitudinal side of the guide rail 1 the continuous, lower guide link 12 for the lower connecting element 2b, to which the window pane S is fixed in the region of its lower pane edge. The lower guide link 12 is continuous up to the lower end of the guide rail 1 in order to couple the drive element 4 to the drive unit of the window lifter assembly F (not shown here) which is equipped, for example, with an electric motor, and thus to be able to adjust the window pane S externally.

From the exploded views of the 8A and 8B as well as the individual representations of 9A until 15 b further details of the illustrated embodiment can be seen.

That's it 8A until 8B In particular, it can be seen that in the embodiment variant shown, the guide elements 3a and 3b are fixed to bearing areas 53a and 53b of the coupling rod 5 via separate connecting bolts 6a, 6b. The drive element 4 is also fixed to a further bearing area 54 of the coupling rod 5 via its fastening section 401 . The individual connecting elements 2a and 2b each form a rectangular pane connection surface 20, on which the window pane S is fixed on its inside in the region of a lateral pane edge, for example by means of an adhesive. To support the coupling rod 5 within the guide channel 10 of the guide rail 1, the coupling rod 5 forms a plurality of support sections 51.1 to 5.1.5, via which the coupling rod 5 is locally supported on different inner sides of the guide channel 10 and is slidably guided within the guide channel 10.

In the 9A until 9B and 11A until 11B the two different connecting elements 2a and 2b are shown on an enlarged scale in different perspective views. Each connecting element 2a, 2b has a protruding guide pin 21 in order to be able to engage in both the associated guide link 11 or 12 of the guide rail 1 and the guide element link 31 of the associated guide element 3a or 3b and to be able to move the connecting element 2a or 2b thereon. In the mounted state, the guide pins 21 of the two connecting elements 2a, 2b protrude in mutually opposite directions on the connecting elements 2a, 2b. One, upper guide element 2a, which engages in the rear/upper (on the right longitudinal side) guide link 11 of the guide rail 1, in one direction and the other, lower connecting element 2b, which engages in the front/lower (on the left longitudinal side lying) guide link 12 of the guide rail 1 engages in the other opposite direction.

The upper connecting element 2a has a pane connecting surface 20 that is larger than the other, lower connecting element 2b. The part of the pane connection surface 20 of the upper connecting element 2a that protrudes laterally beyond the lateral pane edge of the window pane S makes it possible, for example, to attach a panel 8.1 of the window regulator assembly F that is explained in more detail below.

The mutually symmetrical guide elements 3a and 3b are in the 10A until 10B and 12A until 12B illustrated in more detail. Each guide element 3a, 3b also has on its guide body 30 a sliding guide 300 for displaceable guidance on the guide rail 1A in the guide channel 10 of the guide rail 1. Furthermore, a pin-shaped connecting section 301 is formed on the body 30 of each guide element 3a, 3b, which is designed for a positive and/or non-positive connection with the coupling rod 5.

In the 13A and 13B the coupling rod 5 is shown on an enlarged scale in different perspective views. As already explained, this forms a plurality of support sections 51.1 to 51.5 for support within the guide channel 10. Three support sections 51.1, 51.2 and 51.3 are provided in the area of the bearing areas 53a, 53b and 54 for the guide elements 3a and 3b and for the drive element 4. Each of these support sections for 51.1 to 51.3 has a convexly curved support surface for sliding contact within the guide channel 10. Furthermore, two lateral support sections 51.4 and 51.5 formed on opposite longitudinal sides of the coupling rod 5 are provided. These lateral support sections 51.4 and 51.5 fix the coupling rod 5 within the guide channel 10, so that the coupling rod 5 is supported on two opposite inner walls of the guide channel 10.

the 14A and 14B show the drive element 4 with its cuboid body 40 in different perspective views.

the 15A and 15B also show the guide rail 1 with its guide channel 10 open on one side and the guide links 11 and 12 formed on opposite long sides for the two connecting elements 2a and 2b fixed to a lateral pane edge, via which the window pane S is forced to adjust horizontally in addition to a vertical adjustment can be to take an upper end position.

How based on 16A and 16B is illustrated, the window regulator assembly F can be designed as a prefabricated and pre-testable assembly module that can be assembled as a structural unit on a door shell TR of the vehicle door T. The assembly module shown here as an example has two guide rails 1 and 1.1 for guiding the two lateral pane edges of the window pane S. Consequently, a pair of connecting elements 2a and 2b is guided on each guide rail 1 in a displaceable manner on two guide links 11 and 12 on the rail side. For the power-actuated adjustment of the window pane S, there are also two drive units A1 and A1. 1 provided. These drive units A1 and A1. 1 are each fixed to a guide rail 1 or 1.1 and connected to a drive element 4 that is displaceably guided in the respective guide rail 1 or 1.1, so that the window pane S can be adjusted along the guide rails 1 and 1.1 by actuating the drive units A1 and A1.1.

During assembly, the prefabricated assembly module of the window regulator assembly F is inserted from above along an assembly direction M into the door shell TR. The sections of the guide rails 1 and 1.1 to be accommodated within the door shell TR of the vehicle door T are pushed in from above. For example, a stop B1 or a gauge B2 can be provided in the area of the door sill TB to specify an intended functional position of the assembly module on the door shell TR. A lower connecting element 2b then rests against the stop B1 or the gauge B2, for example, via a contact section 22, as is shown in the detail in FIG 16C is shown on an enlarged scale.

Panels 8.1 and 8.2, which cover the lateral edge of the window pane S, can also be part of the window regulator assembly F. These elongated panels 8.1 and 8.2 can according to the 16D and 16E be mounted from the outside when the window lifter assembly is already mounted on the door shell TR and thus on the vehicle door T. The panels 8.1 and 8.2 are fixed, for example, by means of (centering) pins 81 and 82 provided on the insides of the panels 8.1, 8.2. A fastening opening 28 defining a fastening point for a panel 8.1 or 8.2 is provided, for example, on a connecting element 2a, 2b on a section of the pane connection surface 20 that protrudes beyond the lateral pane edge of the window pane S.

For a sealing contact of the screen 8.1 or 8.2 on the outside of the window pane S, a continuous, elongate seal 80 is provided on the inside of the respective screen 8.1, 8.2, for example formed on the respective screen 8.1, 8.2.

For sealing the cavity in the vehicle door T, from which the window pane S can be moved out towards its upper end position, the window pane S can, for example, according to an embodiment of 17A and 17B have a sealing element D1 on the lower edge of the pane. When bridging the gap g through the horizontally adjusted window disk S, this continuous seal D1 is brought into sealing contact, for example, with an end face of the door panel TB facing the vehicle interior.

In one embodiment of the 18A and 18B For example, a continuous sealing element D2 provided on the lower edge of the window pane S rests on a section of the door rail TB in the fully closed position of the window pane S in order to prevent liquid from penetrating into the cavity of the vehicle door T via the gap g.

In the variant of the 19A and 19B a sealing element D3 is provided on an end face of the door panel TB. A contact section 22 protruding downwards in the −z direction on the lower connecting element 2b is here brought into sealing contact with the body-mounted sealing element D3 via the horizontally outwardly adjusted window pane S. The connecting element 2b, which is displaced outwards in the +y direction, is thus pressed with the contact section 22 against the sealing element D3 on the door panel side.

the 20 also shows a detail of the vehicle door T in the area of the door sill TB with a decorative strip 7 spring-mounted on the door sill TB. The decorative strip 7 is resiliently supported on the door sill TB via at least one spring element 70, so that the decorative strip 7 is under the action of the at least one spring element 70 is biased in a first adjustment position upwards (in the +z direction). In order to seal the gap g of the vehicle door T, a downwardly protruding contact section 23 is formed on the lower connecting element 2b of the window regulator assembly F. The connecting element 2b can act on the spring-loaded decorative strip 7 via this contact section 23 when the window pane S is moved outwards in the horizontal direction +y to assume its upper end position. In this case, the contact section 23 presses against the trim strip 7 and shifts it against the restoring force applied by the at least one spring element 70 into a second one in which 20 shown adjustment position. The decorative strip 7 is thus moved downwards into a second adjustment position by the window pane S assuming its fully closed position and is therefore at the smallest possible distance from the bottom edge of the window pane S.

The provision of a decorative strip 7 spring-mounted on the door sill TB is fundamentally independent of the type of guidance of the window pane S, by means of which the window pane S is moved or pivoted outwards to assume its upper end position. The spring-loaded decorative strip 7 can thus also be provided for the adjustment of the window pane S, independently of the solution shown, a window lifter assembly F with connecting elements 2a, 2b guided in two slots.
