Although not shown in detail, the carrier plate main body 21 has, for example, a claw-shaped guide rail fitting portion that fits with the side edge of the guide rail 3, and slides in the vehicle vertical direction along the guide rail 3. It is attached freely. The carrier plate main body 21 can be formed integrally with, for example, a synthetic resin or the like, but may be formed by being fixed to each other separately by heat fusion or the like. The material of the carrier plate 2 is not particularly limited to a synthetic resin, and may be a metal or a combination of a metal and a synthetic resin.

The mounting holes 22 are for mounting the glass holder 10 and are formed on both sides of the upper portion of the carrier plate body 21 in the width direction (front-rear direction). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the guide rail 3 is inclined to the vehicle rear side (left side in the figure) and fixed to the inner panel when the window regulator 1 is fixed to the inner panel of the door. Then, the mounting hole 22b on the rear side is located at a position where the guide rail 3 and the

inner cables

8, 9 are not present in the vertically downward direction, and the mounting hole 22a on the front side is lifted with the guide rail 3 and the upward in the vertical direction. The inner cable 8 is located at an existing position. Here, the existing position is a position where either the guide rail 3 or the

inner cables

8 and 9 exist in the vertically downward direction in the carrier plate body 21 while the carrier plate 2 moves up and down the guide rail. It is.

The inner end accommodating portion 23 connects one end of each of the rising inner cable 8 and the lowering inner cable 9, and the other ends of the rising inner cable 8 and the lowering inner cable 9 are respectively connected to the drum. When the drum is rotated by the motor 72, the inner cable 8 for raising and the inner cable 9 for lowering are wound up and sent out, and the carrier plate 2 slides in the vertical direction along the guide rail 3.

The eaves 24 are provided on the carrier plate main body 23 so that water flowing from the glass holder 10 does not enter the inner end accommodating portion 23 or the like, and is attached to the vehicle body from the carrier plate main body 21. It protrudes toward the outside of the vehicle body (in FIG. 1, the front direction), extends in the width direction of the carrier plate main body 21, and is formed on the upper portion of the carrier plate main body 21. In FIG. 3, the flange 24 has a front end portion located behind the front-side mounting hole 22 a and ahead of the inner end housing portion 23, and a rear end portion located behind the rear-side mounting hole 22 b. The water that is located slightly rearward and flows from the glass holder 10 attached to the attachment hole 22b on the rear side is guided to the rear side by the eaves 24 and discharged from the rear end portion. Water flowing from the front side of the glass holder 10 attached to the front side and the front side of the glass holder 10 attached to the attachment hole 22a is guided to the front side and guided from the tip part to the guide part. An inclination is provided so as to be discharged to 25. Accordingly, the water discharged from the rear end portion of the collar 24 is discharged so as not to adhere to the guide rail 3 and the

inner cables

8 and 9 because the rear end portion is located behind the attachment hole 22b.

The guide portion 25 guides water flowing from the glass holder 10 attached to the flange 24 and the mounting hole 22a, and guides the water guided by the guide element 26 to the guide rail 3 or the

inner cables

In the present embodiment, the guide portion 25 is formed in a wall shape that protrudes from the carrier plate body 21 toward the outside of the vehicle, and water adhering to the carrier plate body 21 drops along the edge of the carrier plate body 21. It is provided along the edge of the lower part of the carrier plate main body 2 so that it may not. Since the guide portion 25 can receive water from the glass holder 10 attached to the attachment hole 22a that cannot be received by the flange 24, the guide portion 25 can be received from the tip end portion of the flange 24 and the glass holder 10 attached to the attachment hole 22a. The flowing water is received by the wall-shaped guide portion 25 and guided to the discharge position on the rear side. In the present embodiment, the discharge position is such that the water discharged from the discharge element 27 does not hit either the guide rail 3 or the

inner cables

8, 9, so that the guide rail 3 and the

inner cables

8, 9 are vertically downward. Is provided at a position where no exists.

The guide element 26 is provided over the horizontal direction at the position where either the guide rail 3 or the

inner cables

If present, an inclination may be provided, and in the present embodiment, the tip end portion is located in front of the attachment hole 22a, and the rear end portion is provided as a discharge element.

The discharge element 27 discharges the water flowing along the guide element 26, and is located at a position where the guide rail 3 and the

inner cables

8, 9 are not positioned vertically downward. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the discharge element 27 when the guide portion 25 is formed in a wall shape is an end portion of the wall. The water flowing along the wall-shaped guide element 26 flows out from the discharge element 27. At this time, since the guide rail 3 and the

inner cables

8 and 9 do not exist vertically below the discharge position, water can be discharged without adhering to the guide rail 3 and the

inner cables

8 and 9. In the present embodiment, the discharge element 27 is provided behind the side surface on the rear side of the guide rail 3 at the raised position of the carrier plate 2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the guide portion 25a may be a groove 28. In this case, the water flowing from the glass holder 10 attached to the flange 24 and the attachment hole 22a is discharged from the discharge element 27 which is the end of the groove 28 through the groove 28 which is the guide element. Thus, in the guide part 25a, since the guide element is the groove 28, it is possible to prevent water from spilling from the guide part 25a due to vibration or the like. In addition, the shape of the guide part 25 is not limited to these, The water which flowed from the glass holder 10 attached to the collar 24 and the attachment hole 22a is supplied to either the guide rail 3 or the

inner cables

8 and 9. Any device can be used as long as it can guide to a discharge position where it does not hit and can discharge.

Moreover, in the window regulator 1 of this embodiment, although the drive part 7 has shown the example attached near the center of the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 3, as shown in FIG. The window regulator 1a attached to the lower end of 3 may be sufficient. In the case of the window regulator 1a, since the drive part 7 is located at the lower end of the guide rail 3, it flows from the eaves 24 or the glass holder 10 on the front side of the vehicle (right side in the figure) compared to the structure of the window regulator 1. Incoming water adheres to the

inner cables

8, 9 and the guide rail 3, and is easy to gather in the drive unit 7 through the

inner cables

8, 9 and the guide rail 3. Therefore, in the structure like the window regulator 1a, the carrier plate 2 is used so that the water flowing from the eaves 24 and the glass holder 10 does not adhere to the

inner cables

8, 9 and the guide rail 3 by the guide portion 25. Is more effective.

The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate without departing from the scope of the idea of the present invention.

The window regulator according to the present invention can be applied to a vehicle door or the like.
