The bolt insertion hole 320 is bored in a raised portion 321 whose part is raised above the other portion. The bolt insertion hole 320 is composed of an elongated hole extending in the driving direction (for example, the vertical direction), and can be aligned with the bolt tightening hole 190 of the wind regulator 100. The module panel 300 and the wind regulator 100 can be integrated by tightening the bolt 500 (described later) that has passed through the bolt insertion hole 320 of the module panel 300 into the bolt tightening hole 190 of the wind regulator 100. At that time, the upper end of the module panel 300 faces (contacts) the lower ends of the pair of holding portions 221 of the jig 200, so that the module panel 300 is position-controlled (rotation-controlled). The drum exposed hole 330 exposes the drive drum 150 supported by the drum housing 140 when the module panel 300 is assembled to the wind regulator 100 in a state where the motor unit 160 and the drum housing (motor unit mounting portion) 140 are separated. ..

The module panel 300 has three bolt insertion holes (second fastening holes) 340 located so as to surround the drum exposed hole 330.

The positioning hole (second positioning hole) 350 is the positioning pin 232 and the positioning hole (positioning hole) when the module panel 300 is assembled to the window regulator 100 in a state where the motor unit 160 and the drum housing (motor unit mounting portion) 140 are separated. It can be aligned with the first positioning hole) 180.

A first variation of the method of assembling the window regulator 100 and the module panel 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 9. The assembly method of the first variation has the following <first step> to <fifth step>.

<First step>
As shown in FIG. 2, the positioning hole (first positioning hole) 180 of the drum housing 140 is inserted into the positioning pin 232 of the jig 200 with the bottom of the accommodating portion of the drum housing 140 facing the jig 200 side. By doing so, the wind regulator (regulator main body) 100 is supported on the upper surface of the jig 200. Even if the positioning hole (first positioning hole) 180 is inserted into the positioning pin 232, the positioning pin 232 projects upward from the positioning hole (first positioning hole) 180.

<Second step>
As shown in FIG. 3, by inserting the positioning hole (second positioning hole) 350 of the module panel 300 into the positioning pin 232 of the jig 200, the module panel 300 is cured by sandwiching the window regulator (regulator main body) 100. Supports the tool 200. Then, the bolt insertion hole 320 and the bolt tightening hole 190 are aligned, and the three bolt insertion holes (second fastening hole) 340 and the three bolt tightening holes (first fastening hole) 141 are aligned vertically. Will be done. Further, the drive drum 150 supported by the drum housing 140 is exposed from the exposed hole 330.

<Third step>
As shown in FIG. 4, a clip (temporary fixing member) 400 is inserted into the positioning hole (first positioning hole) 180 of the drum housing 140 and the positioning hole (second positioning hole) 350 of the module panel 300 from the upper surface of the module panel 300. By inserting, the wind regulator (regulator body) 100 and the three bolt tightening holes (first fastening hole) 141 and the three bolt insertion holes (second fastening hole) 340 are aligned vertically. Temporarily fix the module panel 300. At that time, the clip (temporary fixing member) 400 is inserted from the motor unit (motor housing) 160 side.

As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the clip 400 has a head portion 410, a scaling insertion portion 420, and an elastic engaging claw 430. When the clip 400 is inserted into the positioning hole 180 of the drum housing 140 and the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300, the elastic engaging claw 430 is elastically deformed inward and the expansion / contraction insertion portion 420 is reduced in diameter. When the elastic engaging claw 430 comes out of the positioning hole 180 of the drum housing 140 and the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300, the elastic engaging claw 430 elastically returns to the outside and the expansion / contraction insertion portion 420 expands in diameter. Then, the head 410 of the clip 400 seals the inlet of the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300, the elastic engaging claw 430 of the clip 400 seals the inlet of the positioning hole 180 of the drum housing 140, and the clip 400. The expansion / contraction insertion portion 420 of the above seals the inner surface of the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300 and the positioning hole 180 of the drum housing 140, and the waterproofness of the window regulator 100 and the module panel 300 is guaranteed (the clip 400 serves as a waterproof clip). Function).

As described above, the positioning pin 232 can move forward and backward between the protruding position (FIG. 5A) protruding from the pedestal 231 and the storage position (FIG. 5B) housed in the pedestal 231. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the clip 400 is inserted into the positioning hole 180 of the drum housing 140 and the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300, the positioning pin is inserted from the positioning hole 180 of the drum housing 140 and the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300. 232 escapes. That is, the clip 400 pushes the positioning pin 232 downward.

Further, in the third step, the wind regulator (regulator main body) 100 has the following configuration. That is, the drum housing 140 faces the side opposite to the side where the slider 120 is supported by the guide rail 110.

<4th process>
As shown in FIG. 6, the motor unit (motor housing) 160 is arranged on the upper surface of the module panel 300, and the bolt insertion holes (third fastening holes) 163 of the motor unit (motor housing) 160 are bolted to the module panel 300. Bolt insertion hole (third fastening hole) 163, bolt insertion hole (second fastening hole) 340, and bolt tightening hole (third fastening hole) 163 in a state of being aligned vertically with respect to the insertion hole (second fastening hole) 340. By inserting the bolt (fixing member) 161 into the first fastening hole (141), the motor unit (motor housing) 160 is fixed to the drum housing 140 with the module panel 300 interposed therebetween. At that time, the bolt (fixing member) 161 is inserted from the motor unit (motor housing) 160 side. Here, since the three bolt insertion holes 340 are substantially circular holes that are inserted into the three bolts 161 with a minute clearance (minimum clearance), the window regulator 100 and the module panel 300 are positioned with high accuracy.

As shown in FIG. 7, the bolt 500 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 320 of the module panel 300 and tightened into the bolt tightening hole 190 of the wind regulator 100. Here, since the bolt tightening hole 190 is an elongated hole extending in the drive direction (for example, the vertical direction) with a margin for the bolt 500, it absorbs variations in the position accuracy of the window regulator 100 and the module panel 300 and also absorbs the variation in the position accuracy of the window. It is possible to prevent the regulator 100 and the module panel 300 from rotating.

As shown in the assembly completion diagram of FIG. 8, the window regulator 100 and the module panel 300 are formed by inserting a clip 400 into the positioning hole 180 of the window regulator 100 and the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300, and the motor unit 160. The three bolts 161 inserted through the bolt insertion holes 163 are inserted into the three bolt insertion holes 340 of the module panel 300 and tightened into the three bolt tightening holes 141 of the wind regulator 100, and the bolt 500 is tightened to the three bolt tightening holes 141 of the module panel 300. It is integrated by the three requirements of inserting it through the bolt insertion hole 320 and tightening it into the bolt tightening hole 190 of the wind regulator 100.

<Fifth step>
As shown in FIG. 9, the module panel 300 (wind regulator 100) is removed from the jig 200.

As described above, in the first variation, the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300 is inserted into the positioning pin (positioning protrusion) 232 supported by the jig 200 to position the positioning hole 180 of the window regulator 100 and the module panel 300. The window regulator 100 and the module panel 300 can be integrated (temporarily fixed) simply by inserting the clip (temporary fixing member) 400 into the hole 350. Moreover, the positioning pin 232 can be targeted in both the case where the positioning hole 350 is inserted into the positioning pin 232 and the case where the clip 400 is inserted into the positioning hole 180 and the positioning hole 350. Can be simplified. Further, in the assembling process, it is not necessary to turn over (invert) any one of the window regulator 100, the jig 200, and the module panel 300, so that the assembling structure and the assembling process can be simplified. That is, the number of parts is reduced, the cost is reduced, the tact time is shortened, and the handling property is also excellent.

Further, for example, there is a case where the wind regulator 100 malfunctions after being assembled to the vehicle door due to a failure of the motor unit 160, and the motor unit 160 needs to be replaced. In this respect, in the first variation, the wind regulator 100 has a motor unit 160 for supplying the driving force of the wind glass and a drum housing (motor unit mounting portion) 140 to which the motor unit 160 is mounted, and the motor unit. The 160 and the drum housing (motor unit mounting portion) 140 are located on opposite sides of the module panel 300. In other words, the motor unit 160 is located on the opposite side of the main components (guide rail 110, slider 120, window glass) of the wind regulator 100 across the module panel 300, or on the opposite side of the slider 120 across the guide rail 110. Is located in. In the conventional wind regulator, the opening of the drum housing faces the outside of the vehicle and the motor unit is generally attached from the outside of the vehicle. However, in the present embodiment, the positional relationship is reversed and the opening of the drum housing 140 is open. The motor unit 160 is mounted from the inside of the car facing the inside of the car. From the above, simply remove the three bolts 161 and release the tightening to separate the failed motor unit 160 from the window regulator 100, and simply tighten the new motor unit 160 with the three bolts 161 to replace it with a new motor unit 160. can do.

A second variation of the method of assembling the window regulator 100 and the module panel 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. For the steps common (same) as the first variation, duplicate description will be omitted.

In this second variation, the positioning hole 180 of the wind regulator 100 is omitted, and the clip 600 integrally provided with the wind regulator 100 is used as a “temporary fixing member, positioning protrusion”. Further, the positioning pin 232 is omitted from the second mounting portion 230, and the pedestal 231 is used as the mounting base for the clip 600.

<First step>
The wind regulator (regulator body) 100 is supported on the upper surface of the jig 200 with the bottom of the accommodating portion of the drum housing 140 facing the jig 200 side. Specifically, the clip (temporary fixing member, positioning protrusion) 600 of the wind regulator 100 is placed on the pedestal 231 and the wire guide pulley 130 of the wind regulator 100 is sandwiched and supported by the pair of holding portions 221.

<Second step>
By inserting the positioning hole (second positioning hole) 350 of the module panel 300 into the clip (temporary fixing member) 600 of the drum housing 140, three bolt tightening holes (first fastening hole) 141 and three bolts The window regulator (regulator body) 100 and the module panel 300 are temporarily fixed with the insertion holes (second fastening holes) 340 aligned vertically.

As shown in FIG. 11, the clip 600 has an expansion / contraction insertion portion 610 and an elastic engaging claw 620. When the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300 is inserted into the clip 600 of the wind regulator 100, the elastic engaging claw 620 is elastically deformed inward and the expansion / contraction insertion portion 610 is reduced in diameter. When the elastic engaging claw 620 comes out of the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300, the elastic engaging claw 620 elastically returns to the outside and the expansion / contraction insertion portion 610 expands in diameter. Then, the elastic engagement claw 620 of the clip 600 seals the inlet of the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300, and the expansion / contraction insertion portion 610 of the clip 600 seals the inner surface of the positioning hole 350 of the module panel 300. The waterproofness of the window regulator 100 and the module panel 300 is guaranteed (the clip 600 functions as a waterproof clip).

<Third step>
