Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to a novel assembly concept for motor vehicle doors, in particular for rear motor vehicle doors, very particularly preferably for rear motor vehicle doors without C-pillar triangular window, for defining defined tolerances or gaps of the window pane to be guided in a window guide and, in particular, relates to a window guide system according to the preamble of claim 1 and a motor vehicle door with such a glass guide assembly.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Disc guide arrangements are known from the prior art, which can set a position, in particular a tilt angle, of a window pane in a designated vehicle transverse direction to adjust the pressure of the disc rim on the associated, connected to the vehicle body seal. Such adjustable in the vehicle transverse direction window guides are particularly suitable for frameless windows, but can be used in a corresponding manner in motor vehicle doors with window frames. Such disk guide assemblies are for example from the DE 41 22 554 A1 . US 4,956,942 . FR 1 197 209 or US 2,001,778 known.

A disk guide assembly according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP 1 636 058 B1 the applicant known. For this purpose, the carrier element is designed as a multi-function carrier for attachment to a carrier plate of a motor vehicle door and for holding one or more functional units of the motor vehicle door, such as door lock unit. A holding portion of the multi-function carrier is connected to the glass guide, namely such that the holding portion is substantially rigidly connected in one end portion of an elongated portion of the multi-function carrier with the glass guide and is flexibly connected in the other end portion of the elongated portion with the glass guide. This elasticity should compensate for tolerances between the attachment points of the door lock and the window guide. For precise adjustment of the position of the window guide, however, further adjustment measures are required, which is expensive and in particular leads to increased expense in the assembly of motor vehicle doors provided with such a multifunctional support.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Object of the present invention is to develop a disk guide assembly according to the preamble of claim 1 to the effect that it is simpler and less expensive and in particular can be mounted and adjusted with less effort. According to a further aspect of the present invention, a motor vehicle door equipped with such a glass guide arrangement is to be provided.

These objects are achieved by a glass guide assembly having the features of claim 1 and by a motor vehicle door according to claim 25. Further advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Thus, the present invention is based on a glass guide assembly for guiding an edge portion of a motor vehicle window of a motor vehicle door, with a support member which is designed for fixed connection with a door firmly connected to the portion or with a portion of the door, and an elongate window guide for the window pane, wherein the support element and the window guide are connected to each other and the position of the window guide is adjustable relative to the support element. According to the invention, the pane guide arrangement has at least one fixing means in order to fix or fix the position of the pane guide relative to the carrier element.

The carrier element may in particular be a type of multifunction carrier according to the generic type EP 1 636 058 B1 a trained carrier for holding a plurality of functional units and for fastening the carrier to the door, a door frame or a support plate of the motor vehicle door, or to a housing portion of a functional unit of the motor vehicle door, such as door lock unit or window regulator assembly, or act on a part of the door body, in particular one inner door panel. The fixing means can be designed releasably and again detectable to allow an adjustment of the position of the window guide relative to the support member in a first state and to prevent this adjustment in a second state. Alternatively, the fixing means may be designed to apply an adjustment force or an adjusting torque to the window guide and / or the support element, so that the position of the window guide relative to the support element is uniquely determined. In this case, the window guide and the support element are preferably resiliently biased against each other. By the Fixing means can be defined according to the invention, the tolerance range of leading window in the associated window guide and thus relative to the door element or the door body in a simple manner. This is achieved by an adjustability of the position of the window guide relative to the door element or the door body.

In this way, a novel installation concept for motor vehicle doors is made possible according to the invention, in which initially a preassembled system, which may include functional units of the door, such as door lock unit and especially window regulator assembly is first installed in the door, then the window is mounted and then, for example a driver is connected to the Fensterherber assembly and finally an adjustment / determination of the window guide can be made individually for each vehicle door according to the given Spaltmaß- and tolerance specifications.

According to a preferred further embodiment, the pane guide is adjustable relative to the door element in a designated installation state of the pane guide arrangement only in a vehicle longitudinal direction (x) or both in the vehicle longitudinal direction and in the vehicle transverse direction (y). For this purpose, a correspondingly designed guide, as described below, can be provided. Such adjustable at least in the vehicle longitudinal direction disc guide assembly, which can be both fixed and fixed relative to the support element in a defined position of the window guide is particularly suitable for guiding windows of rear vehicle doors, especially windows without a rear door C column-sided triangular windowpane. Such windows are not only adjusted substantially in the vertical direction, but rather follows their adjustment of a curved curved adjustment path, wherein the radius of curvature of sections curved portions of such an adjustment of the same order of magnitude as a radius of curvature of a rounded C-column rear edge portion of the window can be , in particular this can correspond. With such a disk guide arrangement, the otherwise customary in the prior art possibility of a line management of the window at this point, which would run parallel to the B-column side window guide and thus ensures a good and clear leadership. Due to the tolerance range which is usually large in the door, in combination with the rounded disc trim in conventional window guide arrangements, the disc can be tilted excessively and even jammed.

By virtue of the adjustability and fixability of the position of the window guide relative to the door element according to the invention, in contrast, reliable and precise guidance of the window pane can be ensured even for rounded C-pillar edge sections of window panes of rear vehicle doors. Due to the aforementioned novel assembly concept according to the invention, the cost of manufacture and assembly can be further reduced.

In a disc guide assembly according to claim 3, the elongated guided element may be provided with a predetermined circular, elliptical or rectangular profile and be slidably received and stored in a guide element with a correspondingly formed inner profile. The elongated guided element can be attached to the disk guide or the carrier element or formed integrally with this or this and in a corresponding manner, the guide element can be attached to the support member or the disk guide or integrally formed therewith. In particular, the one-piece design of the same or another plastic material in a one-component or two-component injection molding process according to the invention offers further manufacturing and cost advantages.

In a disc guide assembly according to claim 4, the elastic bias can be accomplished by means of a spring, a bow-shaped plastic element, a resilient plastic foam or the like. The permanently acting elastic preload allows a more precise adjustment and adjustment of the position of the window guide.

A glass guide assembly according to claim 5 can be made even easier and cheaper. The elastically deformable connecting element can in particular be designed as a permanently compressed web-like connecting portion, which bridges a gap between the disk guide and the carrier element. Such a connecting element is preferably designed such that, viewed in an intended installation state of the window guide assembly, it is elastically deformable substantially exclusively in a vehicle longitudinal direction, but in a direction transverse thereto, ie. H. viewed in the vehicle transverse direction, is substantially rigid or rigid. This can be achieved, for example, by suitably specifying the profile of such elastic guide elements, in particular by means of a rectangular profile which, viewed in the intended transverse direction of the vehicle, is substantially wider than the material thickness of the web-like connecting element.

In a disk guide assembly according to claim 7, the adjusting device is preferably part of the guide, which is made possible in particular by training as a sliding or hinge mechanism according to claim 8, which allows a controlled adjustment of the window guide in the vehicle longitudinal direction or in the vehicle longitudinal direction and vehicle transverse direction. Such a sliding mechanism may in particular comprise a suitably profiled longitudinally extending element (for example having a circular, elliptical or rectangular profile) which is fastened to or integrally formed with the disc guide (or alternatively the carrier element) and a correspondingly formed guide means in which the elongated element is guided. For controlled adjustment, for example, serve a threaded portion, a corrugated portion or toothed portion which is provided on the elongate member (or alternatively on the guide member), and cooperates with a correspondingly formed counter element. By simple adjustment (for example, twisting or longitudinal displacement), a controlled adjustment of the elongate element and thus the disc guide connected thereto relative to the carrier element can thus be realized.

For adjustment, alternatively, any joint mechanisms can be used, as will be apparent to those skilled in studying the above description. According to a preferred embodiment, such a hinge mechanism may comprise a pivotally mounted lever whose front free end cooperates with the window guide. In particular, the front free end can press directly against an edge portion of the disk guide and thus act as an adjusting body, for example with a circular arc-shaped contact surface. Alternatively, an axial projection or an axial recess may be provided on the contact surface at the front free end of such a pivotable lever, which cooperates with a correspondingly formed recess or a correspondingly formed projection in the edge portion of the window guide. Another alternative is the embodiment according to claim 12.

In a disk guide assembly according to claim 9, in particular a lighter demolding of the formed as an injection molded part of plastic disk guide and the support member of the sliding or articulated connection can be realized.

An even more precise adjustment of the position of the window guide can be realized according to claim 13, when the pivoting lever is resiliently biased against the window guide. An adjustment of the position of the window guide is possible only after depression of the pivoting lever and otherwise locked.

According to a further preferred disc guide arrangement according to claim 21, the position of the disc guide is secured by means of two attachment portions provided at an upper and lower end of the disc guide. Such fastening portions can be realized in a simple manner, in particular by means of screw connections, that is to say with the aid of threaded bolts which penetrate a hole in the window guide, and in particular can act as interface elements for preassembly of the window guide in a predetermined position. In such an embodiment, the fastening portions may act as fastening means within the meaning of claim 1, wherein it is also possible that no further guidance and adjusting device, as described above, is more required. In such an embodiment, a precise adjustment of the position of the window guide is in particular realized by the fact that the disc guide and associated support member are permanently resiliently biased against each other, for example by means of a compression spring or by means of resilient connecting elements as stated above. Of course, however, a guide and / or adjusting device, as stated above, may additionally be provided.

According to a further preferred rail guide arrangement according to claim 22, the spacer element can act as distance gauge for adjusting the gap dimension of the window pane in a guide channel of the window guide, in particular for adjusting the gap dimension in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Once the setting of this gap dimension has taken place, for example by direct contact of the corresponding edge section of the window pane with the spacer element during assembly of the vehicle door, the spacer element can be completely removed from the guide channel of the window guide or be moved from its initial position into an end position in which the associated edge portion of the window pane no longer bears directly on the spacer when the window pane is adjusted. Such removal or transfer of the spacer into another end position can be realized in particular by breakaway securing means or breakable securing elements, for example, thin connecting webs between spacer and guide channel of the window guide, which are broken with a suitable force.

As stated above, other important aspects of the present invention are directed to a motor vehicle door having such a glass guide assembly and to a method for mounting motor vehicle doors, in particular rear motor vehicle doors, for defining defined tolerances or gaps of a window pane to be guided in such a glass guide arrangement.
