Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to window assemblies for motor vehicles, and more particularly, to plastic window assemblies for motor vehicles.
- Automotive glass has many limitations due to the constraints inherent with the material. More specifically, automotive glass is constrained by the need to include complex attachment and regulating systems. These systems add considerable weight to a door module, which is in addition to the weight of the glass itself. The additional weight of glass window assemblies impacts the performance of a car or truck by increasing fuel consumption and/or raising the center of gravity of the vehicle. Glass windows may also be undesirable because of their propensity to shatter, and because they may need to be shattered in an emergency situation to create an escape route. SUMMARY
- the present invention provides a plastic window assembly for a motor vehicle that adds less complexity and less extra weight to a motor vehicle, as compared to a glass window assembly. Further, the present invention improves the safety of a motor vehicle, even though the present invention causes a motor vehicle to weigh less than a similar motor vehicle having a glass window assembly.
- the plastic window assembly generally includes a plastic window panel and motor.
- the motor is coupled to a gear that operates to move the plastic window panel between opened and closed positions.
- the plastic window panel of the plastic window assembly has at least one gear track to define a gear path.
- the plastic window assembly includes a frame having portions forming a pair of intersecting, non-planar tracks.
- the plastic window assembly includes a flexible strip, having a first end and a second end, one end of which is connected to the gear and another end of which is connected to the plastic window panel.

- FIG. 2 is a front view of the window assembly seen in Fig. 1 ;
- FIG. 3 is a partial, side view of the window assembly of Fig. 1 ;
- FIG. 4 is a front view of another embodiment of a plastic window assembly according to the principles of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a partial side view of the window assembly of Fig. 4;
- Fig. 6 is a schematic exploded cross-sectional view of the window assembly seen in Figs. 4 and 5;
- Fig. 7A is a schematic side cross-sectional view of the window assembly of Fig. 4 in a closed position;
- Fig. 7B is a cross-sectional view generally taken along the line 7-7 in
- Fig. 8A is a perspective view of the window assembly of Fig. 4 in a partially open position
- Fig. 8B is a schematic side cross-sectional view of the window assembly of Fig. 4 in a partially open position
- Fig. 8C is a plan cross-sectional view of the window assembly of Fig. 4 in a partially open position
- Fig. 9 is a schematic side cross-sectional view of the window assembly of Fig. 4 in a completely open position
- Fig. 10 is a perspective view of yet another plastic window assembly embodying the principles of the present invention.
- the plastic window assembly 20 includes a plastic panel 22, a motor 24, an output shaft 26 extending from each side of the motor 24, and worm gear trains 28 located at the distal ends 30 of the shafts 26.
- Each worm gear train 28 comprises a worm 32 in meshing engagement with a worm wheel 34.
- the worms 32 are mounted to the shafts 26 so as to be rotationally driven thereby.
- the shafts 26 may be a single shaft extending through the motor 24 or it may be two shafts 26, with one shaft 26 extending from each side of the motor 24.
- Each worm wheel 34 preferably has supporting structure (not shown) to prevent translational movement of each worm wheel 34.
- the plastic panel 22 is made of polycarbonate, which has a high impact strength and excellent transparency.
- suitable materials may include, by way of example, polymethylmethacrylate ⁇ PMMA), acrylic, polyacrylate, polyester, polysulfone, or copolymers, and combinations thereof.
- the plastic panel 22 could be formed of other thermoplastic resins, or any other suitable material.
- the plastic panel 22 may include bisphenol-A polycarbonate and other polycarbonate resin grades (such as branched or substituted) as well as being copolymerized or blended with other polymers, thereby, forming a blend with Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (PC/ABS blend), or a polyester (PC/POLYESTER blend).
- PC/ABS blend Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

- the motor 124 is operable to drive the gear 132 so as to move the plastic panel 122 between an extended and a retracted position. More specifically, the motor 124 is operable to rotate the gear 132 in opposing rotational directions. When the gear 132 is rotated in a first rotational direction, the flexible strip 136 is wound, or rolled up, around the gear 132 and pulls or moves the panel 122 to its retracted position. When the gear 132 is rotated in the opposing rotational direction, the flexible strip 136 is unwound from the gear 132 and the plastic panel 122 is pushed in a second direction (opposite to the first direction) which moves the plastic panel 122 to its extended position.
- Extending from the lateral side edges of the plastic panel 122 are a plurality of projections or guide pins. As shown, two guide pins 146, 147 extend from a first side 153 of the plastic panel 122, and two additional guide pins 148, 149 extend from the opposite side 155 of the plastic panel 122.
