Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a wind regulator guide device.

In recent years, automobiles have changed to meet aerodynamic styling and increased shoulder space.
The windshield has a steeply sloping design. In response to this orientation, in conventional window regulators, both edges of the window glass were guided directly by guide rails, so the large swing of the window glass could be followed and the door could be moved without any inconvenience. It was impossible to move up and down in space.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and includes installing rollers on both sides of the lower side of the window glass, providing guides for the rollers, and using the rollers as a fulcrum as the window glass moves up and down. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wind regulator guide device that can be moved up and down even with a steeply sloped glass window without interfering with a door panel by swinging the vehicle in the left-right direction.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of one embodiment of the wind regulator guide device as seen from the indoor side, and the window glass 1 is a window regulator attached to the lower edge. 2, the indoor guide rails 4a, 4b fixed to the door 3 and the side guide rails 5a, 5b
The user can move up and down inside the door 3 while being guided by the user. Further, the window glass 1 is designed to be steeply inclined with respect to the door 3 in the raised position shown in FIG. 2, and cannot be raised or lowered by a conventional lifting device because it hits the door panel.

The present invention is characterized in that the window glass 1 is raised and lowered while swinging in the direction of the arrow in FIG. That is, rollers 6a and 6b guided by indoor guide rails 4a and 4b are installed at the front and rear of the lower part of the window glass 1, and side guide rails 5a and 6b are installed at the front and rear lower sides of the window glass 1, respectively.
Install rollers 7a and 7b guided by 5b,
The indoor guide rails 4a, 4b are arranged to be offset toward the indoor side with respect to the side guide rails 5a, 5b, and the amount of offset is appropriately adjusted according to the elevation position of the window glass. At this time, the window glass 1 is guided by the indoor guide rails 4a, 4b, and swings in the left-right direction of the vehicle, that is, in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3, using the rollers 7a, 7b as fulcrums.
Note that A is the front part and B is the rear part.

Next, the wind regulator 2 will be explained with reference to FIG.
1 with nuts 10a and 10b, and a lift arm 12 and a synchronization arm 13 assembled in an
Rollers 14a and 14b attached to one end of the rollers are slidably engaged with each other. The other end of the synchronizing arm 13 is inserted into the guide groove of the bracket 15 fixed to the door.
They are slidably connected via 6.

The other end of the lift arm 12 is connected to a sector gear 17.
The rotation of the sector gear 17 moves the arms 12, 13 up and down between the glass raising position shown in FIG. 1 and the lowering position not shown, thereby enabling opening and closing of the window glass. The structure shown in FIG. 4 described above is well known, but since the window glass 1 swings up and down as described above, the lift arm bracket 8 is designed to have a degree of freedom according to the swing angle. A set angle α is provided between the guide groove 11 surface and the glass surface.

Next, to explain the operation, in order to lower the window glass 1 from the raised position shown in FIG.
4a and 14b are slid in the guide groove 11 to lower the window glass 1 as in the conventional manner.

In this case, the rollers 6a, 6b are guided down by the indoor guide rails 4a, 4b, and at the same time, the side rollers 7a, 7b are also moved down by the side guide rails 5a, 5b.
It descends while being guided by guide rail 4.
The window glass 1 uses the rollers 7a, 7b as fulcrums according to the shapes of a, 4b, a ₁ , a ₂ , . . . in FIG. 5.
...a It descends while swinging along the trajectory shown by _o to avoid hitting the door panel. In addition, when rising from the lowered position, the operation is opposite to that described above.

As explained in detail above, the present invention provides an automobile window glass regulator including an indoor guide rail fixed to a door so as to guide a roller attached to the lower inner surface of the window glass, and side guide rails fixed to the door opposite the front and rear edges of the window glass so as to guide rollers attached below the front and rear edges; The rail is arranged offset toward the indoor side, and the amount of offset is adjusted as appropriate depending on the vertical position of the window glass.

Therefore, even if the window glass is reliably guided by both of the rails, the side guide rails will
The wind regulator guide device can be made thinner. Therefore, according to the present invention, even a window glass whose design is steeply sloped can be raised and lowered without hitting the door panel, and even if the thickness of the door is the same as before, there is no hindrance to the raising and lowering of the window glass. There is no such thing as occurring.
