  • hinged joints may be mounted directly to an extension of the door windowpane 11.
  • the edge 19 of said triangular windowpane 12, which abuts on the door windowpane II, and the other edge 17 of the pane 12, which abuts on the sash frame 13, are both constructed to form a step therealong to thereby assure close and intimate joints, and the hinged sections 14 and 20 serving as pivots are thickened and formed integral with the pane 12 to thereby realize solidity and compactness of the assembly.
  • the construction of this assembly is best shown in FIG. 3. If need be, a rain drip may be formed integrally.
  • the preferred material for the transparent panes used in the present invention is synthetic resin, particularly glass fiber-reinforced acrylic resin which has excellent transparency, impact resistance, heat resistance and workability.
  • the juncture between the transparent panes 11 and 12 of the triangular window and the side door window, respectively, is so designed as to provide an airand watertight conjunction owing to the stepped edge construction 19, and also consideration is paid to obtain the maximum range of vision and high transparency.
  • the door windowpane l l operated integrally with the triangular windowpane 11 is secured to the holder 32 by means of a stop bolt 38, and the following enumerated parts are provided on a steel panel in the inside of the door: stabilizers 39 such as shown in FIG. 1, a run channel 37 provided in abutment with the roller assembly 30 mounted on the frame 31 as shown in FIG. 6, a run channel 36 provided in abutment with another roller assembly (not shown) mounted on a rear frame 33 of the door windowpane 11, a baseplate 40 for a window regulator, a guide rail 42 for an auxiliary arm 35, etc.
  • stabilizers 39 such as shown in FIG. 1
  • a run channel 37 provided in abutment with the roller assembly 30 mounted on the frame 31 as shown in FIG. 6
  • a run channel 36 provided in abutment with another roller assembly (not shown) mounted on a rear frame 33 of the door windowpane 11
  • a baseplate 40 for a window regulator a guide rail 42 for an auxiliary
  • the revolving of the triangular window in its closing direction can be practiced manually by directly handling the triangular window.
  • the pivot 18 of the triangular window has its end fitted into a slot 63 at the top of an elastic cylindrical connector element 26 and secured therein by a pin 66 passed through a pinhole 64.
  • a pin 66 passed through a pinhole 64.
  • an opening 65 formed at the bottom of said connector element 26 is fitted the upper end of a camshaft 27.
  • the opposed offset side faces of a cam 25 are so shaped as to embrace the respective rollers 24, and the lever 21 is so arranged that its rotation in a direction where the rollers 24 are pushed by the respective fork clicks 23 can be transmitted, and that in the opposite direction, it is rotated idly and automatically returned to the original position by the action of a return spring 61.
  • a projection 28 is formed on a plate having the forked clicks 23 and a semicircular groove 29 arranged to slidably receive said projection therein is formed on the front side of the lever 21, it is also possible to form a projection on the lever 21 and a receiving groove on the plate.
  • the closing of the open triangular window can be achieved either from the inside of from the outside of the car, simply by manually pushing the window whereby it is easily turned closed with no wedging action of the cam 25 being produced.
