Definitions
- the present invention relates to a door module for a door of a motor vehicle, and in particular to a door module for use with a window regulator having a cable.
- an inner door panel for a door of a motor vehicle It is usual practice for an inner door panel for a door of a motor vehicle to be formed with a large single aperture. Such an aperture is required in order to install the window regulator and other door components in the door, especially a window regulator which uses a cable for the raising and lowering of a window in the door. Such a large aperture reduces the rigidity and strength of the door. Also, installation of the window regulator in the door (especially on a vehicle production line) is difficult.
- a door module in accordance with the present invention for a door of a motor vehicle comprises a support panel of molded plastic material; a structural member of metallic material which is secured to the support panel; and a window regulator having a cable.
- the window regulator is secured to the support panel and/or the structural member.
- the support panel has at least one cable guide channel integrally molded therein for guiding a cable of a window regulator.
- the door module is positionable across the aperture in an inner panel of the door to provide rigidity and strength for the door.
- Components can be mounted on the door module prior to positioning of the door module in the door, making installation of the components easier. Additionally, by parts integration, the present invention allows for a reduction in the number of components of a cable operated window regulator.
- Figure 1 is an exploded view of a door module in accordance with the present invention with a window regulator
- Figure 2 is a side view of an alternative support panel for a door module in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view on the line III-III of Figure 2.
- the door module 10 is for positioning across an aperture in an inner panel (not shown) of a door (not shown) of a motor vehicle.
- the door has a window (not shown) which is capable of being raised or lowered by a window regulator 12 having a pair of guide rails 14 and a cable 16.
- the door module 10 comprises a support panel 18 and a structural member 20.
- the support panel 18 is molded from plastic material.
- the structural member 20 is formed from metallic material, such as steel, aluminium, or magnesium.
- the guide rails 14 for the window regulator 12 may be secured to the support panel 18 and/or the structural member 20, and may be positioned between the support panel and the structural member.
- the support panel 18 is molded to form guide channels 22 for the cable 16 of the window regulator 12, and, optionally, a drum housing 24 for the cable drum 26 of the window regulator; a support member 28 for an internal door handle (not shown); attachment pegs 30 for an internal arm rest (not shown); a speaker support 32 in which a speaker (not shown) may be mounted; routing channels (not shown) for electrical wiring or cable harnesses; fastening devices for electric wiring or cable harnesses; and housings (not shown) for other components, such an electronic control modules.
- the support panel 18 may be formed with the speaker support 32 covered by a removable portion 34 which is only removed when required for the mounting of the speaker. Other removable portions may be provided as required.
- the speaker support 32 may be molded at the required angle for the speaker when mounted in the door.
- the support panel 18 may form part of, or the whole of, an internal trim for the door.
- the guide rails 14 for the window regulator 12 can be secured to the support panel 18 in any suitable manner, or may be molded in place during the molding of the support panel. Alternatively, the guide rails may also be integrally molded with the support panel 18. Where the window regulator 12 includes an electric motor drive, the electric motor can be mounted on the support panel 18.
- the structural member 20 may be an integral part of the inner panel (not shown) of the door, or may be a separately formed member which extends beyond the support panel to be bolted or welded to the inner panel. In the latter case, the structural member 20 may be secured to the support panel 18 by adhesive, screws, or any other suitable manner. Alternatively, the support panel 18 may be molded around or with the structural member 20. Where the window regulator 12 includes an electric motor drive, the electric motor can be mounted on the structural member 20.
- the use of the support panel 18 allows some or all of the door components to be assembled on the panel before installation in the door, which allows easier assembly .
- the structural member 20 provides rigidity and reinforcement for the door.
- the use of the support panel 18 to provide cable guides 22 and, optionally, a drum housing 24 and/or guide rails 14 reduces the number of components for the window regulator 12.
- the alternative support panel 18' shown in Figures 2 and 3 is molded from plastic material to form cable guide channels 22 and a drum housing 24 for the cable drum 26.
- the guide rails 14 of the window regulator are secured to the support panel 18' as shown in dashed outline.
- a channel 36 may be formed in the support panel 18' adjacent the peripheral edge 38 of the support panel to provide a seal with the inner panel of the door.
