This pin preferably has a straight shank passing through the hole33 and a spring shank with a grooved portion adapted to fit into the annular groove 30h, the latter portion of the cotter pin being sprung or tensioned in order to clamp it upon the end of the stud, as shown in Fig. 3.
'I'he arm 29 intermediate its ends has a widened or enlarged portion 34 formed with an arcuate slot 35. 'Ihe arm 28 is pivoted through the medium of a stud 36 to the portion 34 at the center of curvature of the slot 35 and is formed with an offset 31 extending through the slot35, thereby positioning the inner end portion of the arm 28 at one. face of the arm 29 and the outer portion thereof at the opposite face. The offset 31 may be formed on a radius so as to have xa transverse curvature corresponding to or approximating to curvature-of the slot 35. When the arms swing in raising and lowering the window glass the oifset 31 will travel within the slot 35, this slot being preferably of sumcient length to prevent engagement of the offset with either end of the slot in the extreme positions of the arms during-normal operation so as to prevent chatter or vibratory noises when the regulator is idle in either of its extreme operating positions, .4
these positions being shown in full and dotted lines in Fig. 1. The outer end of the arm 28 is 'offset so as to aline the stud 30 thereon with the stud 30 at the outer end of the arm 28, see Fig. 2. 'I'he inner or lower end of the arm 28 lator) is offset Ainwardly at 28a to provide both a Amounting for the counterbalancing spring and also to bring the arminto position for securement l. to the mounting panel orv plate for the cross arms.

,. third arm lt1. This letteraria In .the embodiment of Fig. '1 vthe swinging arml 28 is pivoted at its inner or lower end to swing 'about a set pivotal axis. In the present instance,
to permit interchangeability of the cross arm unit as hereinafter explained, the arm 28 has in eifect an extension 28h and adjacent this end ofthe arm the latter is provided with a hole 40 for the reception of a headed bolt 38`, the reduced shank ofthe bolt 39a having threads formed thereon. The threaded shank 39a of this bolt passes through an angular or arcuate adjusting slot 4| formed in the at face of an embossment '42 pressed out of the inner door or mounting panel for the window regulator. The panel 43 may be any suitable type of xed support for the window regulator, in ordinary practice this comprising a` pressed metal sheet or panel extending across the inner side of the door or body and secured to the upright pillars or supports. bolt 39 may be secured in fixed position within the slot 4I by means of ya nut 44. By'loosening the nut the pivot stud or bolt 39 may be moved or adjusted within the slot whichpreferably has its center of curvature at the pivot stud 36. Hence, the set angular position of the arm 28 'may be varied with respect to the arm 29 and without changing the position of the latter simply `by adjusting the bolt 39 within the curved slot 4 I.
Thus, regardless of the extension 28h the length of the arm 28 is measured from the stud 39 or. hole 40 therefor, and in the present instance the cross arms are of equal lengths so as to slide the window glass in a true straight vertical direction. In the regulator of Fig. ll therefore, the extension 28h, which has a smaller hole 45 at the end thereof, is unused and may be cut oil' if desired.
The inner or lower end of the cross arm 29, viewed from the fully raised position of the Window regulator, is slidingly connected to the inner door or body panel 43, this construction being particularly illustrated in Fig. 9. VAs shown in this gure, there is riveted to the lower end of the arm 29 a stud 49 which carries an annular spring washed 50 clamped between the shoulder 49a of the stud` and the shank of the arm 29. Loosely mounted on the enlarged cylindrical end of the stud is a flat washer 5l. This end of the stud extends transversely through an elongated horizontal guide slot 41 formed in an embossed portion 46 of themetal panel 43, the guide slot terminating in an enlarged aperture '4B and the longitudinal parallel edges of the slot being curled or turned in at 41a to provide asliding nt for the cylindrical shank of the stud 49. The washer 5I engages across one face of the guide slot 41 and a washer 52 on the stud engages across the turnedin edges of the slot. The washer 52 is held on the stud by means of a cotter pin 53 and in the assembled position of Fig. 9the spring washer 50 is constantly under tension. The construction as shown in Fig. 9 is preferably substantially identical with that shown inFig; 4.l
y As illustrated in the embodiment of Fig. 1 thel swinging arm 29 of the window regulator isinvh'f -this instance driventhrough he medium of.`
ts outer end iv 'I'he pivot stud or an enlarged aperture or opening 58. Riveted to the outer end of the arm'29 at a point closely adjacent to the stud 30 is a headed stud 55, the shank of which extends through a hole 54 (Fig. 10) in the arm. The stud 55 extends through and has a sliding fit in the slot 56 and the head of the stud, as shown in Fig. 6, interlocks the stud in the slot against withdrawal during normal operation. Preferably spring anti-rattle washers (not shown) arel mounted on the shank of the stud to extend across opposite faces of the slot 56 to prevent, chattering or vibratory noises. The diameter of the aperture 58 is such as to permit the head of the stud 55 to be inserted through the aperture, upon installation o f the parts, to permit the shank of the stud to ride into the slot 56. The inner end of the driving arm 51 is' provided with two spaced apertures, one for the reception of a pivot stud or rivet 59 by which the arm is pivotally mounted. The other and smaller aperture receivesa rivet 60 by which the arm 51 is riveted to a gearsector 6l. The gear sector and arm are secured together by the studs 59 and 60 and are mounted to rotate about the axis of the stud 59 upon a pressed metal mounting plate 62 having screw bosses 63 by which the.
a pinion 64 on a handle shaft which includes a4 conventional friction clutch and a crank handle at the outer end thereof.
The regulator in the embodiment of Fig. 1 is preferably assembled with the window glass I2 when the latter is in its lowered position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The cross arm unit in this embodiment is installed upon the mounting panel 43, the stud 49 being installed in the guide slot 41 as above described and the lower end of the arm 28 being assembled by passing the bolt 39 throughthe hole 49 in the arm and the slot 4l in the mounting panel, the nut 44 at this time being loosely applied to the threaded shank 39a.
The mounting plate 62 is also mounted in posi- 'I'he regulator arms are then cranked down to the dotted line position of Fig. 1, the arms 28 and 29 being sprung out to the position shown in-Fig. 5'to permit the studs 30 to be transversely alined with the slots 29 and 2|. When so alined thearms are released and the studs 30, by virtue of the spring of the arms, pass through the guide slots 20 and'2l to the position of Fig.v4. The washers 320'and cotter pins 33 are then installed on the ends of the studs, thereby interlocking the parts together as shown in Fig. 4.
lThe window regulator of Fig. 1 is shown in connection with the front door of a typical coach or two-door type automobile body having a relatively wide window. Wherethis regulator is used.r for example, witha typical four-door sedan in which usually a narrower window opening is provided the glass retainer channel I5 is shortened' to correspond to the narrowcrwidth of the. glass panel l2 and the stud 30 on the arml 29 is connected ywithin the slot 21a. The opening 23 therebelow permits insertion of the ngers to facilitate installation of the washer 320 and vcotter'pin 33.
nonigtpe-foregoing it` will be seen til-1:. the
, m e used interchangeablyI with subwindows not only okonebut of difunit orparts including the aims 28 !erent types of automobile bodies without necessitating the manufacture of a diierent size cross arm assembly or unit for each different window. For example, the cross arm unit of Figs. 1 and 6, where. shown in connection with a right front door, may be interchangeably used without any reversal of the arms in the left rear door or rear window of the body. Moreover, all of the parts, without change, ofthe cross arm unit of Fig. 1
may be usedin the right hand' rear door or rear window simply by reversely assembling the arms 28 and 29.
In normal operation of the window regulator it will be understood that by turning the gear 6I to swing the arm 51 or by turning the gear 68 to swing the arm 28 the cross arms 28 and 29 will be swung downwardly from the full line positions of Figs. 1 and 10 to the dotted line positionoi Fig. 1 and the dotted line position X of Fig. 10, thereby lowering the Window glass, the arms passing each other during this operation. In the operation of the regulator of Fig. 1
Y it will be noted that the power is applied to the cross arm 29 at a point 55 which is fixed in the length of the arm and which is located closely adjacent to the stud 30. During the downward swinging movement of the arm 51 to its halfway or horizontal position the point 55 movingin the slot 56 approaches the pivot 59 of the gear 6|, and as a consequence there is produced a progressive increase in the power of the regulator at the upper limit of movement of the window glass. In like manner, there is a progressive increase in the lifting power of the regulator lnear the opposite limit of the window glass when the glass is raised from its dotted line position in Fig. 1.
It will be noted that the pivot 59 of the driving arm 51 is at a point laterally spaced from the crossedv arms 28 and 29 and the outer end oi' the arm 51 moves through an arc whose center lies at all times outside the area traversed by the connected cross arm 29. Hence, lt is possible to provide a desirable remote handle location and an eiective drive without affecting the cross arms and with the elimination of intervening spacer gears.
Installation of the cross arms with the window glass ismaterially simpliiied by virtue of the arrangement of the spring 38 connecting the arms together which tends to urge the arms and hold them in predetermined angular positions. Furthermore, by connecting the arms 28 and 29 together through the counterbalancing spring 38 a relatively lighter and less expensive spring' may be utilized than heretofore in window regulators of the two arm type, and easier operation of the window is achieved. Economies in production and in time and labor necessary for installation are possible by virtue of the improved construction and mounting of the counterbalancing spring and associated parts. It will also be seen that the sliding glass I2 or |28 is supported at two relatively widely spaced points 38 and that in operation of the window regulator the cross arms 28 and29 carry the window glass down-r wardly and upwards in substantially a straight line direction, thus avoiding any material tilting "9 1 travel of the window glass and-regulator. In-
stallatlon may be accomplished at the upper or lower limitof travel of the glass and of the regulator in simple and quick manner and hence it is not necessary, in accomplishing the installation, to shift either the glass or the arms be- A yond their normal range of travel as heretofore.
