Abstract

A profiled housing rail for a vertically slidable window of a motor vehicle consists of an upwardly open channel profile section (16) in which the lower edge (14) of a window glass (6) is seated. The lower region of the profile section (16) is extended downwardly in the form of a laterally open, generally channel shaped profile part (12) in which the sliding elements (10) of a window operating means (7) are guided. The interior of the web wall (17) of the profile part (12) is enlarged by a longitudinal bulge (18) reducing sliding contact between the interior of the profile part (12) and the sliding elements (10). The housing rail is preferably a single extrusion of for example, aluminium and the profile section (16) may have an external drainage gutter or gully (19). <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Profiled housing rail The invention relates to a profiled housing rail comprising an upwardly open U-shaped profile section for the stress-free housing of the lower edge of a window pane running vertically slidably in guide rails for a motor vehicle window and having a profiled part adjoining the lower region of profile section to house at least one rolling or sliding element of a window opening device which is introducible from an end of the profile part.
A housing of this type is known from German Auslegeschrift No. 1,405,934, in which a profile part of generally hook-shaped cross-section is anchored to the profile section. In order to obtain easy movement of the window and to prevent the occurrence of rattling noises when the vehicle is in motion, it is necessary for the assembly of profile section and profile part to be performed extremely carefully so that an optimally play-free running of the rolling or sliding element in the profile part can occur subsequently. Such measures are time consuming and expensive and do not provide a warranty of satisfactory function.
The invention seeks to provide an inexpensive housing rail construction which can be produced with close tolerances by simple means without particular assembly and fitting operations.
According to the invention there is provided a profiled housing rail with a substantially U-shaped open profile section for the stress-free housing of the lower edge of a window pane which is vertically slidable in guide rails of a motor vehicle, said housing rail having a profile part downwardly adjoining the profile section to house at least one displaceable element of a window operating means which is introducible from an end face of the profile part, wherein the profile section and the profile part constitute an integral component produced by a pressing operation such as extrusion.
Housing rails produced in this manner possess, in addition to the required dimensional accuracy, a high surface quality which positively influences the rolling or sliding behaviour of the window operating element accommodated by the profile part. Because extruded material is generally delivered in the form of elongated bars, workpieces of different lengths adapted to different window sizes can be obtained by simply cutting to length, which considerably simplifies stockholding.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the housing rail is constituted by an extruded aluminium profile, which is capable of combining the advantages of high rigidity with corrosion resistance.
Reduced friction occurs with a housing rail with sliding jaws as the sliding elements where the inner face of the web wali of the profile part has at least one longitudinally extending enlargement or hollow.
To prevent water entering the door cavity, certain installed components, such as the window opening mechanism, may be protected if a rain gully section projecting towards the outside of the door is formed on the profile section.
An embodiment of the invention will now be explained more fully hereinbelow by way of an example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 shows a simplified view of a housing rail for a window pane arranged vertically slidably in a vehicle door and Fig. 2 shows a section made along the line Il-Il in Fig. 1.
A window pane 6 is guided so as to be vertically slidable in U-shaped guide rails 1 and 2 which are mounted in the cavity 3 of a driver's door 4 and in its window frame 5. The sliding movement is generated in any convenient way by a manuaily operated or servo-actuated window opening device 7 (not shown in detail), the free ends 8 and 9 of which carry sliding elements constructed as sliding jaws 10. The sliding elements are introduced into the interior of a generally channel-shaped profile part 12 from its end faces 11 and undergo a sliding movement in the part 12 during the raising and lowering movement of the window pane 6.
As shown in Fig. 2, the profile part 1 2 forms a part of a housing rail 1 3 constituted by an extruded profile, preferably of aluminium, which, adjacent to the profile part 12, has a U-shaped profile section 16 which is upwardly open to house the lower edge 14 of the window pane 6 with interposition of a resilient strip 1 5. The web wall 17 of the profile part 12 is provided with a longitudinally extending bulge 1 8 so that the contact surface of the sliding jaw 10 with the interior of the profile part 12 is reduced and the friction is consequently decreased.
In order that any water running off the window pane 6 which may enter the cavity 3 does not fall upon installed components, such as the window opening mechanism 7, a rain gully section 19 projecting towards the outside of the door is shaped onto the profile section 1 6 and discharges the incident water into regions which are less susceptible to corrosion. The rain gully 1 9 may be constructed in either of the two positions as shown by solid lines or by chain-dotted lines, of which the solution illustrated by solid lines leads to a particularly convenient construction.

A profiled housing rail with a substantially Ushaped open profile section for the stress-free housing of the lower edge of a window pane which is vertically slidable in guide rails of a motor vehicle, said housing rail having a profile part downwardly adjoining the profile section to house at least one displaceable element of a window operating means which is introducible from an end face of the profile part, wherein the profile section and the profile part constitute an integral component produced by a pressing operation such as extrusion.
