DE202005010940U1 - Window regulator rail`s articulated connection for motor vehicle, has hinge with axis defined by cylindrical body e.g. fitting screw, grooved pin or spring pin, where window regulator rails are fastened at rail reinforcement profile - Google Patents

Abstract

The connection has a rail reinforcement profile (3) and a hinge, which is arranged in a notch (4) in a prismatic section of the profile that has a borehole (6). An axis of the hinge is defined by a cylindrical body e.g. fitting screw (8), grooved pin or spring pin, which is enclosed in the borehole, where window regulator rails (1) are flexibly fastened at the profile. The body is fixed opposite to the swiveling plate (7) of the hinge.

Description

The The present invention relates to a hinged connection of a window lift rail to the door shell a vehicle door or a vehicle body.

common Window lift for Motor vehicles comprise two rails with sliding blocks or drivers, where the window pane is connected. The power window rails are stable to the door structure Tailored to permanently maintain an exact alignment of the windowpane sure. This will cause rattling and squeaking sounds from tensions in the guides of the Avoid windowpane. For motor vehicle doors without an upper window frame comes a stiff and precise guidance of the window pane special Meaning, so that the edge of the closing window pane the at Roof part arranged window seal exactly meets and there with sufficient Pressure is applied.

Around the aforementioned requirements even when manufacturing tolerances occur in the door structure, To meet the vehicle structure and the roof part, a case by case adjustment The position and trajectory of the window pane may be required.

To For this purpose, adjustment screws, slides, Brackets or the like provided at the lower end of the guide rails. This is the location of the guide rail variable with respect to the motor vehicle, thereby providing an orientation the window edge is made possible to the window seal. Set these settings advance that the adjustable guide rails are pivotable about their upper attachment point, so that the Window in the desired Area between the side seals remains. This Verschwenkbewegbarkeit is in common embodiments through a hole with a rivet or through a relatively flexible Line of the sheet metal structure in the area of the connection point of the guide rail realized.

The first option disadvantageously requires a large Space. The latter simpler solution, however, is because of the bad defined deformation point inaccurate and mechanically little resilient.

In some embodiments a vehicle door are the aforementioned possibilities not suitable for building a hinged connection, because no adequate space available stands or the structure of the vehicle door for the formation of a bending line too stiff.

The Invention is therefore the task of a hinged connection a power window rail to the door shell or a vehicle body create a high mechanical stability and accuracy in small Space realized cost-effective.

These Task is solved by a device having the features of claim 1.

advantageous Embodiments and further developments of the present invention are in the dependent claims 2 to 8 indicated.

A preferred embodiment The present invention will be described by way of example below. being attached to the attached Drawings reference is made. Show:

1 an exploded perspective view of an articulated connection of a window lift rail to the structure of a vehicle door;

2 a perspective view of the assembly of the articulated connection according to 1 ;

3 a sectional view through the hinge in the articulated connection according to 1 ; and

4 a sectional view through the hinge in the articulated connection according to 2 ,

According to the 1 to 4 is a power window rail 1 at the structure 2 hinged to a vehicle door or a vehicle body. Such an articulated connection serves the purpose after installation of the window regulator rail 1 the predetermined direction of travel of the window pane with respect to the window frame by tilting the window lift rails 1 to be able to change. In order to obtain the smallest possible lateral Verla delay of the window in the window seal, the pivot axis of the articulated connection is possible at the top of the window regulator rail 1 , In order to minimize the influence of manufacturing tolerances on the pressed parts of the vehicle door or the vehicle body is a parapet reinforcement profile 3 provided, on which preferably both window lift rails 1 hinged are hinged. This is the distance of the window lift rails 1 permanently determined and jamming of the mechanism due to parallelism deviations can be largely avoided. The parapet reinforcement profile 3 is after installation in several places, for example by screws or rivets on the structure 2 the vehicle door or the vehicle body attached. In its longitudinal direction, the parapet reinforcement profile 3 vorzugswei se a prismatic shape on with sections cutouts 5 and / or notches 4 , Thus, the parapet reinforcement profile 3 For example, be made from a section of an extruded or extruded profile.

In the upper area of the parapet reinforcement profile 3 runs in the longitudinal direction of a cylindrical bore 6 in the field of notches 4 . 5 is accessible. One of the notches 4 It is intended to have a pierced upper part of a pivoting pocket 7 take. The pivot axis of the articulated connection is through a through the hole 6 in the parapet reinforcement profile 3 and the hole in the pivot pocket 7 extending pin or a similar, preferably cylindrical body 8th established. If high demands are placed on the mechanical stability and accuracy of the articulated connection, as shown a dowel screw 8th be provided. More cost effective connections arise, for example, when using a notched pin or tension pin.

The window lift rail 1 is on a hook of the swivel 7 latched and secured in this connection by screws or rivets.
