Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sliding window pane and carrier combination for a motor vehicle door.
  • the invention relates to an improvement in the system for fixing a sliding window pane of a motor vehicle door to its supporting carrier, which is connected to a suitable drive system.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a window pane - carrier combination which obviates the aforesaid drawbacks in an economical manner, is of easy construction, and allows rapid and simple replacement for repair purposes.
  • a combination consisting of a sliding window pane for a motor vehicle door and a carrier for connecting said window pane to a corresponding drive device, characterised in that said window pane comprises at least one transverse bore in proximity to its lower edge, and said carrier comprises at least one peg which engages said transverse bore of said window pane, and connection means to enable said carrier to be fixed to a suitable mobile member of said drive device.
  • the reference numeral 1 indicates overall a combination formed from a window pane 2 to be slidably mounted in respective guides, not shown, of a motor vehicle door, and a carrier 3 for connecting the window pane 2 to a corresponding drive device, not shown.
  • the window pane 2 comprises a transverse through bore 6 in proximity to its lower edge 5.
  • the carrier 3 comprises a peg 7 which when in use engages the bore 6 in the window pane, and also comprises connection means 8 for enabling the carrier 3 to be connected to a suitable mobile member of said drive device.
  • the peg 7 comprises on its upwardly facing part a bevel 10 which facilitates insertion of the peg into the bore 6 of the window pane 2.
  • the peg 7 projects from the upper end portion of an essentially rectangular lug 11 extending vertically parallel to the lateral surface of the window pane 2 from the body 12 of the carrier 3.
  • the lug 11 comprises a longitudinal reinforcement projection 14.
  • the lug 7 is elastically deformable in a direction perpendicular to the lateral surface of the window pane 2 to enable the peg 7 to be engaged with the bore 6 of the window pane 2 as stated heretofore (see Figure 4 in particular).
  • the body 12 of the carrier 3 comprises two flat portions 16, 17 respectively, from each of which, namely from opposite ends, there extend deformable elements 18, 19 and 20, 21 respectively, which together define a support surface for the edge 5 of the window pane 2.
  • the elements 16, 17, 18, 19 are essentially shaped as a circumferential arc and are elastically deformable so as to exert on the lower edge 5 of the window pane 2 an upward pressure (see Figure 2) sufficient to keep the lower surface of the bore 6 of the window pane 2 always in contact with the lower surface of the peg 7 of the carrier 3.
  • Retention of the window pane 2 against movement in a direction perpendicular to its lateral surface is provided by four vertical lugs 23, 24, 25, 26 extending from the body 12 of the carrier 3 in a direction parallel to the lug 11 which supports the peg 7.
  • the lugs 23 and 24 extend vertically from opposite sides of the portion 16 of the body 12, and the lugs 25 and 26 extend vertically from opposite sides of the portion 17 of said body 12.
  • the lugs 23, 24, 25 and 26 are also elastically deformable (see Figure 4 in particular) to allow insertion or withdrawal of the peg 7 into or from the bore 6 of the window pane 2. All the lugs 23, 24, 25, 26 have their upper edge bevelled to further facilitate insertion of the window pane 2 during its fixing (see for example Figure 4).
  • said means 8 for connecting the carrier 3 to the drive device consist essentially of three through holes 31, 32, 33, one of which is suitably profiled (hole 31).
  • the carrier 3 is conveniently constructed from thermoplastic material by a single moulding operation.
  • a further advantage derives from the fact that the connection between the window pane and carrier is elastic to forces acting in planes parallel to the ground, and this enables the window pane to properly absorb manufacturing tolerances, thus ensuring that the guide channels normally located in the vehicle door are alone responsible for guiding the sliding of said window pane.
  • window pane and carrier can be fixed together during the completion of the vehicle door, thus obviating the need to provide the said specific production positions and to stock the aforesaid adhesive.
  • the carrier structure could be extremely simplified by providing only the suitable means for connection to the said drive device, whereas the peg which engages the bore 6 of the window pane 2 could instead of being formed integrally with said carrier be connected to it for example by snap-fitting, or alternatively the fixing could be effected with screws or elements of equal function, ie for retaining the peg in the bore of the window pane.
  • the constituent material of the carrier 3 could for example be of reinforced thermoplastic type according to requirements.
