Abstract

La présente invention concerne une portière de véhicule qui permet à un mécanisme de relever et d'abaisser la vitre de fenêtre à loger dans un petit espace, qui limite les restrictions imposées à la conception de la portière, et permet de placer de manière appropriée des parties associées à la portière. Un châssis de montant constitue un châssis de portière, s'étend dans la direction de relevage et d'abaissement de la vitre de fenêtre le long de l'un des bords avant et arrière de la vitre de fenêtre, et présente une partie de face qui est positionnée de façon à faire face au côté intérieur de véhicule de la vitre de fenêtre. Un mécanisme de relevage et d'abaissement relève et abaisse la vitre au moyen de la force d'entraînement d'une source d'entraînement et comporte une glissière, un rail de guidage et un élément de transmission. Vu depuis la direction de relevage et d'abaissement de la vitre de fenêtre, la glissière, le rail de guidage et l'élément de transmission sont situés entre la partie faisant face au châssis de montant et la vitre de fenêtre dans la direction intérieure-extérieure du véhicule. Le rail de guidage régule le déplacement de la glissière dans la direction intérieure-extérieure du véhicule sur le côté surface intérieure de véhicule de la vitre de fenêtre. Les parties associées à la portière peuvent être placées, par exemple, à l'intérieur de la portière du véhicule ou sur le côté intérieur de véhicule.
