Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a slide mechanism for window regulators intended to connect the window regulator rail mechanically with the window pane.
  • the slide mechanism is a device that is threaded in the window regulator rail so that it can slide through the same, and at the same time it is joined to the window pane to obtain its upward and downward motion.
  • This invention is characterised in a simple configuration, with a minimum number of pieces, based on a union by means of a slotted pivot expanded by an expansion rivet.
  • the configuration of the slide mechanism and of the slotted pivot with rivet assure a strong, secure and noise-free fastening.
  • this latch allows the temporary retention of the window in the slide mechanism until the rivet assures the definitive fastening.
  • this can be carried out by making use of protuberances or projections which traverse a perforation in the window pane.
  • window bottom an additional piece of plastic or metallic material is used, usually termed "window bottom" so that it is this piece which incorporates the orifice which the slide mechanism protuberance will traverse.
  • the lower edge of the window pane When making use of the window bottom, the lower edge of the window pane is fixed and rests in the window bottom and it is the window bottom which has the perforation for fastening to the slide mechanism.
  • a simple way of stealing a vehicle consists in introducing a tool or a bar through the window seal which strikes the protuberance and breaks it or cuts it, whereby the window is freed and falls into the void in the door. This action is quickly done and provides easy access to the vehicle.
  • the end of the protuberance is the part of the slide mechanism which surpasses the external surface of the window.
  • This end is a clip formed by flexible tabs parallel to the main surface of the window and allows pre-mounting of the slide mechanism on the window to be carried out.
  • Means of connection are also known between the slide mechanism and the window pane which make use of 3 pieces.
  • a slotted pivot is attached which gives place to a set of pegs which finish in flexible latches which clip into the hole of the window pane.
  • This fastening is provisional and allows pre-mounting of the slide mechanism on the window pane.
  • the slotted pivot piece is independent of the main body of the slide mechanism and on its rear part has a jagged surface intended to rest on a rough surface of the slide mechanism in order to increase the friction between the two and prevent noise due to the presence of slackness.
  • the main body of the slide mechanism has on its rear part a slot in arc form to thread with the window regulator rail.
  • connection between the slide mechanism and the window comprises the combination of a plastic protuberance integrated in the body of the slide mechanism, of the piece with elastomer areas intended to cover the protuberance, of a plastic bushing which encompasses the previous assembly on the other side of the window and of a fastening fork for the whole assembly.
  • the noise-suppressing piece is mounted on the window, then the bushing and the fork are assembled on this piece; and, finally the window regulator assembly is pressed where is it premounted then, by applying, the protuberance is inserted in the preceding assembly already mounted in the previous stage.
  • the protuberance On its end, the protuberance has a peripheral slot which accepts a fastening clip.
  • the clip applies a pulling force which presses the main body of the slide mechanism against the window on its inside face. With this pressure, a noise-absorbing element is trapped between the slide mechanism and the window pane.
  • None of the aforementioned configurations offers simultaneously a reduced number of pieces, with noise-suppressing solutions, and has a joining action as quick as that based on the use of an expansion rivet, for example a pop type rivet, such as takes place in the present invention. Also, the operation of joining by screw is much slower than that of riveting and requires diverse noise-suppressing additional technical solutions by not providing the same degree of expansion.
  • the present invention relates to a slide mechanism for window regulators, the function of which is that of connecting the window regulator rail with the window pane permitting upward and downward motion.
  • the body of the slide mechanism incorporates a slot into which is threaded the window regulator rail and allows vertical sliding.
  • These channels have recesses suitable for housing the terminations of the cable ends assuring the connection and therefore the traction which produces the sliding in one direction and the other.
  • the slide mechanism On the opposite side of the slot for threading the rail, the slide mechanism has a slotted pivot with a central perforation passing through.
  • This slotted pivot is a protuberance intended to penetrate into a perforation of the window pane on which the fastening is established.
  • the slots of the perforated pivot define flexible sections, at least two, intended to expand and press on the internal surface of the perforation of the window pane.
  • the configuration of the perforation of the window and of the section of the pivot have to be coincident and can be any whatsoever although the simplest configuration is circular.
  • a pop type expansion rivet although well-known, can be described as that which is formed by a shaft with a head which includes a second metal piece, for example of aluminium, m ore malleable and less resistant near this head.
  • the second metal piece is a cylindrical body of greater diameter than the head of the shaft and which has a skirt.
  • the cylindrical body enters the perforation to be riveted a nd by means of a riveting gun the internal shaft is drawn forcing the expansion of the malleable metal until the shaft snaps.
  • the expansion is produced by the longitudinal compression that takes place between the head of the shaft and the skirt, and also the head of the shaft, by entering partially inside the cylindrical body of the malleable metal forces a still greater expansion.
  • This type of rivet is that employed in the slide mechanism of the invention. Entrance is made through the perforation accessible from the face opposite to the pivot, being introduced in the internal cavity thereof.
  • the slide mechanism Since the external face of the pivot has no means for clipping, the slide mechanism has a hook-shaped latch which establishes a temporary securing of the window pane.
  • the height of the latch with respect to its base is smaller than the height of the pivot. During the assembly this difference in height allows the pivot to guide the slide mechanism toward the window pane and, once the edge of the window has been clipped in the latch or hook, this prevents the slotted pivot escaping from the corresponding hole until the expansion rivet is shot. If the length of the latch were greater than that of the slotted pivot the latter would escape from the hole.
  • the perforation of the window is located near its lower edge and the hook-shaped latch is located below the lower edge of the window pane.
  • connection In the connection between the window pane and the slide mechanism, inhibition of vibrations is important so that the connection does not degrade, slackness appear and noise occur.
  • a riveted connection provides all these advantages over a screwed connection. Also, the presence of a metallic core ensures that this connection satisfies the "principle of inviolability".
  • Figure 1 shows a door module on which two window regulator guides are installed both with two slide mechanisms not necessarily like those of the invention. In this figure the location of the elements related with the invention is shown.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective of an embodiment of the slide mechanism according to the invention seen from the side of the pivot and in vertical position.
  • Figure 3 is another perspective of the same piece in prostrate position.
  • Figure 4 is a third perspective of the same piece seen from the rear part.
  • Figure 5.a is an outline of the invention in which particular details of embodiment are not represented, instead the relative arrangement is shown in elevation and profile between the window pane, the slide mechanism and the window regulator rail before expansion of the rivet.
  • the detail of an expansion rivet is shown.
  • the position of the deformable body of the expansion rivet is indicated in the slide mechanism.
  • Figure 5.b is an outline of the invention in which particular details of embodiment are not represented, instead the relative arrangement is shown in elevation and profile between the window pane, the slide mechanism and the window regulator rail after expansion of the rivet.
  • Figure 6 is a schematic representation of a cross-section of a door where the relative position is shown of the slide mechanism with respect to the window regulator rail, the window pane and the door.
  • Figure 1 is a view of a door module (2) which has two window regulator rails (3) preinstalled as well as other door elements.
  • the window pane (5) is firmly joined to the slide mechanisms (1) and will move upwards or downwards according to the direction in which the cables (4) are pulled.
  • the body of the slide mechanism (1) is formed by a single injected plastic piece, in prismatic in shape, traversed by an almost centred, L-shaped slot (1.3), coinciding with the profile which corresponds to the window regulator rail (3).
  • These channels (1.2) include recesses which house the pegs or retention pieces firmly joined to the ends of the cables (4) (not represented in these figures).
  • the base or root of the pivot (1.1) has an annular projection (1.1.3) which establishes a distance between the window pane (5) and the main body of the slide mechanism (1) preventing the occurrence of vibrations by contact for the reasons already explained in the description of the invention.
  • a latch (1.4) emerges from the same face finished in a wedge-shaped projection.
  • This latch (1.4) with the wedge-shaped projecting end is the means employed to retain the window (5) securing it o n its lower edge until definitive fastening by riveting.
  • the main body (1) has various recesses (1.4) due to the limitations in design of the injection process which require a constant thickness to be maintained in the piece to avoid the appearance of shrinkage cavities.
  • a last figure 6 has likewise been included of the section of a door to demonstrate how the join (7.1) of the "seal” establishes an access to the external face of the window (5) and therefore to the end of the pivot (1.1) for fastening the window pane (5).
  • this access would facilitate its breakage and therefore the dropping of the window (5) inside the void of the door (7), and as a consequence, access to the interior of the vehicle.
  • the window regulator rail (3) is distinguished, and near to the lower part thereof the slide mechanism (1) with the pivot (1.1) crossing the window pane (5) and the latch (1.4) for temporary retention.
