Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to motor vehicle window regulators of the general type disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,897,654, 5,809,695, 5,848,496 and 5,960,588. Such regulators commonly use one or two guide tracks each of which supports a cable operated window panel lifting device. For example, the regulators disclosed in the above '695, and '496 and '588 patents use a pair of guide tracks, and the regulator disclosed in the '654 patent uses a single guide track in the form of a split guide tube enclosing a flexible cable in the form of helically wound wire on a lubricating core material. A formed sheet metal bracket is attached to the lower end portion of the cable and is connected to the lower edge portion of the window panel, for example, by a bonded lifting bar as disclosed in the '654 patent. The cable usually moves longitudinally within the guide tube by a helical pinion or gear which may be connected to a hand crank or a power operated drive motor and gear reducer unit.
- The window panel lifting member of the window regulator is connected to the lower edge portion of the window panel by different methods and devices. For example, a U-shaped bar may be bonded or cemented to the lower edge portion of a glass window panel or U-shaped gripping brackets may be clamped to the lower edge portion of the window panel, for example, as shown in the above '695, '496, and the '588 patents. The window panel may also be connected by a U-shaped lifting bracket with a threaded fastener which extends through a hole within the window panel, for example, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,363,595.
- It is desirable to eliminate the requirement of forming holes in the glass window panel for attaching the lifting member of the regulator and thereby avoid the cost of forming the holes and possible damage to the window panel. It is also desirable for the connection of the regulator lift member to provide for an adjustable and positive grip of the window panel while also being compact and light weight in addition to being economical in construction and providing for gripping glass window panels with variations in thickness. As apparent, none of the above-mentioned patents provide a window panel lift connection which provides all of these desirable features.
- The present invention is directed to a window regulator which incorporates an improved device or unit which connects or clamps the lift member of the window regulator to a window panel and which provides all of the desirable features mentioned above. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a clamp unit includes a C-shaped clamp body formed from an aluminum extrusion, and the clamp body defines a recess which receives a U-shaped resilient gasket having upper edge portions confined within corresponding slots within the clamp body. The gasket adjustably receives a lower edge portion of the window panel, and a rigid pressure block is also confined within the clamp body between one leg of the gasket and the inner end of a clamping screw threaded through the clamp body. The clamping screw also extends through a hole within a wing portion of a sheet metal lifting bracket of the regulator so that when the screw is tightened, the window panel is gripped with substantial and uniform pressure and is connected to the regulator bracket.
- Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, the accompanying drawings and the appended claims.
- FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a window regulator incorporating a pair of window panel clamping units constructed in accordance with the invention;
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged elevational view of a clamping unit shown in FIG. 1 and taken generally on the line2-2 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken generally on the line3-3 of FIG. 1; and
- FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the window panel clamping units shown in FIGS.1-3.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a
window regulator 10 which includes an elongated roll-formedguide tube 12 having a longitudinally extendingslot 13 providing the tube with a C-shaped cross-sectional configuration. Theguide tube 12 encloses an elongatedflexible cable 15 which slides axially or longitudinally within the guide tube and which is formed by helically winding a wire around a flexible core having fibers projecting outwardly between the helical turns of the coil for wiping the inner surface of the guide tube. The core is provided with a lubricant which is conveyed by the fibers to the inner surface of the guide tube to minimize friction for the sliding movement of the cable within the guide tube, for example, as disclosed in the above-mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,897,654. - The
regulator 10 also includes an actuator ordrive 20 which is illustrated as a manual actuator or drive, but may also be a power operated drive including an electric motor and gear reducer unit. As shown in FIG. 1, thedrive 20 includes amounting bracket 22 which supports adrive shaft 24 to which is secured a pinion orhelical gear 26 for engaging the wire turns of thecable 15. Theshaft 24 connects with a drive such as a manual window crank or an electric motor and gear reducer drive unit. A pair ofnuts 28 are carried by thebracket 22 for attaching thedrive 20 to a component of a motor vehicle such as frame members within a door on a vehicle body. Aflexible tube 32 connects with the upper end of theguide tube 12 and receives the projecting end portion of thecable 15 when the cable is moved longitudinally within theguide tube 12 by operation of thedrive 20. - A set of Y-
shaped mounting brackets 36 are also attached to theguide tube 12, and cooperate with thebracket 22 for attaching thewindow regulator 10 to the motor vehicle door frame members or to other components of the motor vehicle body. Each of thebrackets holes 38 for receiving suitable fasteners such as screws or snap plugs. As shown in FIG. 4, a T-shaped sheet metal window lifting orcarriage bracket 42 is attached to the lower end portion of thecable 15 by a crimping operation and projects outwardly through theslot 13 within theguide tube 12. Thebracket 42 includes laterally projecting and coplanar flanges orwings 43 each of which is provided with ahole 44. - In accordance with the present invention, a clamp assembly or
unit 50 connects each of the flanges orwings 43 of thebracket 42 to the bottom edge portion of a transparent window panel orglass panel 52 for moving the panel generally vertically in response to parallel movement of theslide bracket 42 within theguide tube 12. Since theclamp units 50 are identical, only one will be described in detail. Thus, eachclamp units 50 includes a generallyU-shaped body 55 which is preferably constructed by cutting a section from an aluminum extrusion. Theclamp body 55 defines a recess 57 (FIG. 4) which includesopposing slots corresponding wing 43 of the lifting T-bracket 42. A threadedhole 62 is formed within aninner wall 63 of theclamp body 55 and receives a cup-shaped set screw 66 having ahexagonal recess 67 for receiving an Allen wrench (not shown). As shown in FIG. 3, thescrew 66 projects through thehole 44 of thecorresponding bracket wing 43 for retaining theclamp body 55 on the T-bracket wing 43. - The
recess 57 of eachclamp body 55 also receives aU-shaped gasket 70 which defines a slot for receiving the lower edge portion of thewindow panel 52, and thegasket 70 is formed of a flat strip or piece of resilient but firm rubber cork material. As best shown in FIG. 3, thegasket 70 has an inclinedupper edge portion 72 which is received within amating retaining slot 73 formed or extruded within thebody 55. The gasket also has a vertical oppositeupper edge portion 76 which is retained within aslot 77 formed or extruded within theclamp body 55, and a thin compressedhorizontal wall 79 of the gasket material connects theoffset edge portion 76 to the U-shaped portion of thegasket 70, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. - A pressure pad or
block 82 is also positioned within therecess 57 of theclamp body 55 between the inner end surface of thescrew 66 and the inner or adjacent wall of thegasket 70. The pressure pad orblock 82 may be formed from an aluminum extrusion or may be molded of a rigid plastics material or other materials. As shown in FIG. 4, theblock 82 has a series of parallel spaced V-shaped ribs 84 on opposite side surfaces of the block. On one side, theribs 84 penetrate the inner wall of theresilient gasket 70, as shown in FIG. 3, and theribs 84 on the opposite side are engaged by the inner surface of theclamping screw 66. - While two of the
clamping units 50 are illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4 and are preferred for dual gripping of the window panel and for balancing the lifting forces on thelifting bracket 42, it is possible to use only one of the clamp units. As best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, after the lower edge portion of awindow panel 52 is slid into theU-shaped gasket 70 of aclamp unit 50 and is adjusted to a precise position, theset screw 66 is tightened against the pressure pad orblock 82 for positively clamping thewindow panel 52 within the clamp unit. However, before receiving thewindow panel 52, the pressure pad orblock 82 is retained within eachclamp unit 50 by confining or slightly squeezing the pressure block between an upwardly projecting rib 92 (FIG. 2) on theclamp body 55 and the thin connectingwall 79 of theresilient gasket 70. This retention of the pressure pad orblock 82 prevents the block from sliding out of theclamp unit 50 during handling, transporting and installing thewindow regulator 10, but allows the block to move laterally in response to the clamping pressure of thescrew 66. - From the drawings and the above description, it is apparent that a window regulator incorporating a window panel clamp unit constructed in accordance with the present invention provides desirable features and advantages. For example, each
clamp unit 50 produces a substantial compressive force which positively grips and clamps the lower edge portion of the window panel and also provides for precisely adjusting the window panel relative to the clamp unit before thescrew 66 is tightened. The highstrength clamp unit 50 is also compact, light weight and simple and economical in construction while also accommodating window panels having considerable variation in thickness. Theclamp unit 50 is also reusable if it becomes necessary to replace a broken window panel and requires only an Allen wrench to attach the clamp unit to the window panel or to release the window panel from the clamp unit. - While the form of clamp unit herein described constitutes a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to this precise form of clamp unit, and that changes may be made therein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims. The clamp unit of the invention may also be used with various types of window regulators and is not limited to the specific form of regulator disclosed.
