- This invention relates to a window regulator, and more particularly to a window regulator and guide means for moving a rear quarter panel window into and out of the window well of a coupe or two-door sedan type vehicle body.
- the regulator mechanism has involved complicated linkages and window guides. Due to the proximity of the wheel well, the rear quarter panel window must swing downwardly in a generally curvilinear path away from the door pillar coming to rest in a canted position in the body panel between the door pillar and wheel well construction. In the usual case, the window is guided above the body belt line by fore and aft glass run channels having felt or bristle covered walls to carry the window silently and to prevent vibration and rattle when fully raised. Since the window must swing below the belt line of the Vehicle, separate tracks are usually provided extending downwardly from the glass run channels to guide the window as it swings into its lowered position. The window frame may have rollers which run in the tracks to maintain lateral and fore and aft stability. Furthermore, since the window does not move in a rectilinear fashion, a complicated linkage system for the regulator mechanism is usually required.

BY @mz Cqvz K af/m ATTORNEY July 21, 1964 R. cHUPlcK wINDow REGULATOR 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Aug. 2l, 1962 United States Patent O 3,141,664 WlNDOW REGULATGR Ronald Chnpiek, Livonia, Mich., assigner to General Motors Corporation, Detroit, Mich., a corporation of Delaware Filed Aug. 21, 1962, Ser. No. 218,385 Claims. (Cl. 268-126) This invention relates to a window regulator, and more particularly to a window regulator and guide means for moving a rear quarter panel window into and out of the window well of a coupe or two-door sedan type vehicle body.
There are many problems presented by this type of window installation. Due to the space limitations in a two-door sedan body between the door pillar and wheel well, the rear quarter panel windows are seldom lowered completely out of sight. With the recent introduction of the compact car this problem has become acute.
In some cases where it has been possible to lower the window below the belt line of the vehicle body, the regulator mechanism has involved complicated linkages and window guides. Due to the proximity of the wheel well, the rear quarter panel window must swing downwardly in a generally curvilinear path away from the door pillar coming to rest in a canted position in the body panel between the door pillar and wheel well construction. In the usual case, the window is guided above the body belt line by fore and aft glass run channels having felt or bristle covered walls to carry the window silently and to prevent vibration and rattle when fully raised. Since the window must swing below the belt line of the Vehicle, separate tracks are usually provided extending downwardly from the glass run channels to guide the window as it swings into its lowered position. The window frame may have rollers which run in the tracks to maintain lateral and fore and aft stability. Furthermore, since the window does not move in a rectilinear fashion, a complicated linkage system for the regulator mechanism is usually required.
It is now possible to largely eliminate the lower guides and rollers and greatly simplify the regulator mechanism while permitting the window to be fully lowered. The present invention accomplishes this in a window control mechanism having a regulator arm actuated by a regulator means and pivotally connected at its upper end to the lower edge of a quarter panel window. Window guide means is mounted to the door pillar at the front of the window opening extending from the body belt line to the top of the opening for guiding the window. from a lowered position within the window well to a raised position closing the opening. Window guide follower means connected to the upper leading edge of the window is slidably and pivotally received in the window guide means whereby upon actuation of the regulator arm the window is tilted in the window guide means and is slidably guided by same between the raised and lowered positions.
These and other features of this invention will be readily apparent from the following description and drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevation view of the window regulator of this invention mounted within the rear quarter panel of a two-door sedan with the window in the raised position;
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged sectional viewtaken generally along the plane indicated by line 2-2 of FIG- URE l and showing the guide means mounted on the door pillar;
FIGURE 3 is a view taken along lines 3-3 of FIG- URE 2 showing the window guide follower;
3,141,664 Patented July 21, 1964 ICC FIGURE 4 is a view of FIGURE 2 taken along lines 4 4 of the window guide follower; and l FIGURE 5 is an exploded view showing the mounting arrangement of the window guide follower to the window frame.
Referring to FIGURE 1 of the drawings, a vehicle body 2 is shown having a front door 4 closing on a door pillar 6 in the manner of a two-door sedan type vehicle. To the rear of the door is the rear quarter panel 8 joined with the roof 10 to form a roughly triangular shaped opening which is closed by the window 12. The window regulator mechanism 14 and fore and aft window guide channels 16 and 1'7 will be more fully described hereinafter.
It is apparent from inspection of FIGURE 1 that the window 12 has a generally straight leading edge 30, a curved top edge 32 sloping rearwardly and downwardly and being joined to a bottom edge 34. Obviously the shape of the window must roughly be the same as that of the opening for which it is intended. The shape described is characteristic of rear quarter panel windows, but the inventive window regulator is not restricted to any particular window application.
The window regulator mechanism has a pinion 15 connected to the window crank handle (not shown) mounted on the vehicle interior. The pinion 15 engages a sector gear 15 rotatably mounted at 19 to the inside wall of the vhicle body below the window opening. A regulator arm 20 is welded or keyed to the sector gear 18 at its lower end and pivotally connected to a window frame 21 at its other end. The regulator arm directly supports and operates the window from a pivot 22 rearward of the center.
Referring to the FIGURES 2 through 5, the front window guide channel 16 is mounted by suitable fasteners 41 through openings 42 formed in the door pillar 6. For rapid assembly, clip type fasteners may be used, The window guide channel 16 comprises an inner track 45 and an outer glass run 46. A longitudinal shoulder 48 formed on opposite faces of the track walls separates the track from the glass run and provides a continuous aX- ial pathway therebetween.
The glass run 46 is adapted to receive the window frame 50 and may have bristles or felt strip material 52 secured on its opposite faces to center the window, provide weather stripping, and insure quiet window operation. The glass pane 51 is mounted in the frame 50 between rubber sealing strips 53. The upper leading edge of the pane is relieved at 54 forming a gap between the pane and an extension of the frame 50. Secured on the front face of the frame 50 is the window guide follower 60. The follower has a rectangular shaped body portion 62 provided with apertures to mountY it on the window frame extension. A pair of side-wing elements 64 are formed on the body portion. IThe side-wing elements 64 have a generally ovate cross section and are adapted to be received at a slight angle in the track 45, as shown best in FIGURE 4. A tab 65 projects rearwardly from the body portion 62 over the top edge of the window frame Si?.
It may be seen by inspection that the body portion 62 of the follower is of a width approximately equal to the width between shoulders 48 and that the side-wings 64 project outwardly therefrom and extend behind the shoulders. Hence the upper leading edge of the window 12 is guided in the track 45 in a manner to be described.
Since it is desirable that the quarter panel window be lowered nearly out of sight, the provision of guide means below the vehicle belt line has always presented a problem. In my invention, the only window guide means below the body belt line is a short lower extension of channel 17 and this may be eliminated in some cases,
.sired to lower the window, the initial downward movement of arm 26 is accompanied by a translation rearwardly of the window as determined by the effective radius of the arm 2t). The follower 62 fixed at the top of frame 50 travels down the track 45 maintaining the upper leading edge of the window in a fixed plane relative to the swinging arm 2t). When the arm 20 has moved to an intermeditae position the window has been partially lowered and is tilted rearwardly at the bottom out of the front guide channel 16 with only the upper portion of the frame Sii remaining in the glass run 46. Continued movement of arm Ztl brings the window to rest, as shown by the dot-dash lines in FIGURE l. Since the upper end of arm 2li moves in an arc, the window must shift somewhat rearwardly at the bottom in the manner described for which reason the rear guide channel 17 has a downwardly and rearwardly curved projection that extends below the body belt line. The side-wings elements 64 are inclined at a slight backward angle in the track 45 and rotate forwardly as they slide down the track 45 to allow the window to tilt. When the window is completely lowered it is held in a stable position because the follower 62 never leaves the track 4S; hence the window is guided at the trailing edge by channel 17, at the upper leading edge by track 45 and at the bottom by regulator arm Ztl. The window is stable during all positions because of this triangular-like support system. Of course, the movements of the window are reversed when being raised.
It is apparent that various changes may be made in the embodiments of the invention shown herein and I therefore do not intend to be limited except as `defined by the scope and spirit of the appended claims.
