[0001] This invention relates to a drive and securing device for the glass in a vehicle
window and, more specifically, to an improved solution for housing the window glass
onto a part, which in turn is the drive element for the said window, by its sliding
along a guide fixed to the interior of the vehicle door.
[0002] Already known, through the German publication DE-A-3243123, is an assembly according
to which the glass is provided with a drill hole near its lower edge and the support
for the said glass has a lower U-shaped part, in which the said lower edge of the
glass is housed. In this solution, a pin, connected to the support, engages in the
hole in the glass in such a way that the movements of the window in a direction perpendicular
to its side surface are prevented by means of a flange on the pin and a ring-shaped
spacer placed between the glass and the support.
[0003] The assembly of the glass into the support is quite complicated, as it first requires
the lower edge of the glass to be inserted into the U-shaped recess before the pin
can be fitted.
[0004] Also known, through publication EP. 0208237, is a combination of a window glass and
a support to connect this said glass to its corresponding drive device. The glass
is provided with a drill hole near its lower edge, and the support has a pin which
engages in this drill hole. In this assembly, a main support tongue is provided, together
with a set of auxiliary tongues situated parallel to the main one, thus forming a
"staggered" arrangement.
[0005] The pin is supported by the main tongue and at least one of the auxiliary tongues
is elastically deformable mable in a direction perpendicular to the side surfaces
of the glass.
[0006] The disadvantage of this assembly is that all the tongues are elastically deformable
and short in height, with which the seating of the glass in the support is limited.
Moreover, the pin is centred in relation to the window track, which makes it difficult
to reach the said pin when so desired, for instance, in order to change the glass.
On the other hand, we wish to emphasise that a window winder device is a part which
is closely related to the volumes and shapes adopted by automobile vehicles throughout
their evolution, during which the window winder has developed from a device with a
simple vertical movement to the present models which have rake angles of 15º or even
more.
[0007] In those window winders in which the drive mechanism travels along cylindrical rails,
different alternatives are adopted in order to make this drive mechanism follow the
helicoidal path taken by the fixing point of the glass during its movement, all of
which acts either on the drive mechanism or on the rail, or on both in a combined
manner. Also, on occasions, the area around the glass fixing point is available for
the drive mechanism, thus minimizing this effect.
[0008] At present, the use of the new concept of multirail window winders has brought as
a consequence new technical difficulties which add to and worsen the effect described
above
[0009] In this case of multirail window winders, the problems which have arisen have been
in relation to the dispersion of position between the rails which support and act
as a guide for the drive system, by an unwanted relative mobility between the drive
elements that hold the glass.
[0010] As a result of the differences between the real and the theoretically paths of the
rails, caused by the abovementioned dispersions, and by these being hindered, because
the distances between the fixing points to the glass are fixed, unwanted frictions
appear, which increase the operating torques of the window winder and which, logically,
have to be reduced.
[0011] Several alternatives have been adopted to tackle these problems, such as adjustment
of the glass or drive systems provided with relative mobility, which are made up of
a large number of component parts, requiring labour-intensive assemblies, and which
involve a device for fixing to the glass which requires a large number of operations
in line.
[0012] The above mentioned problems are solved by the characterizing features stated in
the main claims.
[0013] A first object of the invention is to provide a device which facilitates the assembly
and dismantling of the window glass, providing all degrees of freedom required so
that no force is placed on the glass in the guide rails and making the use of this
device possible in single or double-rail window winders.
[0014] A second object of the invention is a device which has a more favourable relation
between the offsetting of the glass fixing point and the added overload as the result
of the variation in the original path to be followed by the drive mechanism, based
on a two-part drive device, whose assembly is most simple as it only involves an insertion
and its corresponding clipping together, two actions which can be carried out at any
stage in the assembly of the window winder. At the same time, the device is capable
of absorbing position variations greater than ±5 mm. without the operation of the
window winder being affected in any significant manner.
[0015] A third object of the invention is a device with a clippable window lug which allows
the double functionality of being able to be fixed to a pane of glass or to a drive
slide, either with or without sidewards movement.
[0016] The invention only requires a slight pressure to be placed on the upper edge of the
glass and for the said glass to be turned slightly until its side guide become locked
onto the slide or runner, in the case of a single-rail window winder, or for the same
operation to be carried out on the support of one of the rails and the glass to be
guided until it becomes locked into the second support, in the case of a double-rail
window winder. Fitting the glass becomes as easy as the sliding of the glass on the
outer surface of the rail.
[0017] The contour or rib is provided with a reinforcing wall which supplies the necessary
strength to the whole of the support assembly and more specifically to the two lugs
whose purpose is the receive the lower edge of the glass, between and below which
is situated a stop that limits the deformation of the said lugs. In particular, the
stop coincides with the central point between the two lugs and is also arranged vertical
to the protruding pivot of the bridge. In this way, the lower edge of the glass can
form an angle with the inner base of the support in order to make certain assemblies
easier.
[0018] The branches that jut out from the contour or rib are elastically deformable in a
horizontal plane parallel to the surface of the glass, in order to allow any angular
divergence that might occur between the movement rail or rails and the door guides
to be absorbed.
[0019] The edge which takes up the upper part of the branches is logically continuous, so
that all its surface is supported on the surface of the glass once that the pivot
with which it is provided has become housed in the drill hole in the glass.
[0020] The facing sides of the edge and of the rigid projection are divergent with each
other, starting from their upper edges, opening out towards the rib or contour, so
the two elements maintain a constant pressure on the glass. This ensures the penetration
of the pivot into the drill hole and at the same time noises caused by a rattling
effect are avoided. Therefore, the distance between the upper points of the bridge
or edge and of the rigid projection is noticeably inferior to the thickness of the
glass. At the same time, the base of the rib on which the lower edge of the glass
rests is slightly superior to the thickness of the glass.
[0021] The branches which form the bridge or edge are usually provided with a certain flexibility
in a perpendicular direction, at least, to the surface of the glass and in a parallel
direction to these surfaces.
[0022] The glass is always supported on a rigid projection of the support, whose upper edge
is gently rounded, on the upper edge of the bridge and on the branches which form
the said edge.
[0023] On the exterior of the rigid projection the support has a series of recesses capable
of receiving the guide for the profile of a rail along which the support slides. At
the same time, its front outer edge has a flexible lug, through which contact between
the support and the rail is ensured at all times.
[0024] The bridge or edge includes the pivot which will become housed in the drill hole
in the glass, as was explained previously, with the particularity that this pivot
is offset in relation to the centre of the bridge and outside the position occupied
by the rigid projection of the support, so that it can be reached in order to release
the support from the glass.
[0025] This pivot has a special geometric shape with an upper bevel edge that facilitates
the sliding of the lower edge of the glass, converging side surfaces towards its most
outward part, a forward frontal projection that extends downwards and a blind front
recess.
[0026] Therefore, the pivot is not intercepted by the shape of the rail and in this way,
its penetration into the drill hole in the glass can be clearly seen. Moreover, access
to it is made easier, so the end of a tool can be housed in its blind front recess
in order to make it easier to withdraw the pivot.
[0027] The lower front projection on the pivot is a certain distance from its base, a distance
which is slightly greater than the thickness of the glass, with which, once this has
been inserted, the glass is perfectly controlled.
[0028] The diameter of the drill hole in the glass must be slightly greater than the diameter
or biggest cross-section of the pivot, plus the dimension of its lower projection,to
make the appropriate withdrawal of the pivot easier to perform.
[0029] To achieve the second object, the invention presents an assembly made up of two parts,
one of which will be called fixed and the other mobile. The structure of both parts
is nearly flat and the fixed part is provided with one central elevation and two others
separated a certain distance from the central one and parallel to it.
[0030] The fixed part is also provided with a lower edge which forms a longitudinal recess
in the form of a rail, which has a partial outer edge upwards, forming a upwardly
open U-shaped housing.
[0031] The body of the fixed part has two horizontal windows through it, which receive two
projections from the mobile part. In the same way, one of the elevations and the central
elevation are each provided with upwardly open L-shaped projections, whose bases are
opposite the base of the previously-mentioned rail, so that the mobile part can slide
between both bases through areas which are adapted for this purpose.
[0032] The fixed part also has a seating for the lower edge of the glass and two lugs on
which this lower edge rests, as described earlier.
[0033] One of the ends of the base of the fixed part that is situated above the rail has
a horizontal ledge, which will make contact with the sliding portion of the mobile
part.
[0034] The mobile part is also essentially flat, with a central elevation on which a projection
juts out to be received in the hole in the glass, and a base on which it slides along
the base of the fixed part.
[0035] The base of this mobile part is equipped with some horizontal cylindrical supports
which fit into the slots in the base of the fixed part, as well as another ledge parallel
and close to one of those already mentioned. The cylindrical supports are separated
from each other as much as possible.
[0036] The mobile part is in turn provided with two elevations on its base, whose height
corresponds to the distance between the lower rail and the base of the L-shaped lugs
on the fixed part. These elevations favour the horizontal movement of this mobile
part on the fixed part and are in turn the ones which are housed in its L-shaped lugs.
[0037] The mobile part is attached to the fixed part by means of the sides provided with
cylindrical projections and ledges on the said mobile part, which fit into the slots
in the fixed part, at the same time as the side elevations on the mobile part are
housed in one or in both of the lugs that jut out downwards from the fixed part.
[0038] To facilitate the insertion and prior accommodation of the mobile part in the fixed
one, the latter is provided with a protruding rib on the opposite side to where the
mobile part enters; this rib is L-shaped, with its opening downwards, and extends
behind one of the longitudinal slots in the fixed part. This rib is essential for
the prior positioning of the mobile part on the fixed one, as will be appreciated
later.
[0039] The mobile part is capable of moving in relation to the fixed part or drive mechanism;
this capacity is only limited by the above-mentioned rib, whose sole purpose is the
autocentration of the said mobile body in the window assembling operation.
[0040] The mobile part is submitted to minimal loads during all operations of the window
winder and does not bear weights nor receive the striking energy caused by closing
the door and is also free from transmitting power during the upward movement of the
glass. This mobile part is only portative in the downward movement of the glass, in
which the power to be transmitted in order to achieve this movement is much lower
than in the operations considered above.
[0041] The previously-mentioned cylindrical supports of the mobile part are positioned as
far as possible from the fixing axis for the glass in order to lower the tilting torques
caused on this part by the action of the glass, thus achieving its favourable movement-load
ratio.
[0042] As so little is required mechanically of the mobile part, it can be sized in such
a way that it possesses great flexibility, which facilitates the glass assembly operation,as
the insertion load is minimal.
[0043] To develop the third object of the invention, a clipfitted window lug is used, a
U-shaped transversal section made of plastic. This part has two wings joined to a
weakened portion of the same material, allowing the said wings to be clipped easily
onto the glass. One of these wings is provided with a outwardly cylindrical female
projection with a hollow interior on the side facing the other wing, with this projection
being received in the drill hole cut near the edge of the vehicle window.
[0044] In a similar manner, the other wing has a male projection facing the above-mentioned
female one, into which it can penetrate and become housed once that the vehicle window
has been inserted between the two wings.
[0045] To facilitate the mutual connection between the two facing projections on the wings,
the exterior of the male projection and the interior of the female projection, which
together hold the glass, are made to correspond to each other, so that once they are
connected, this connection between the two wings is stable and holds the glass permanently
between both wings unless the male projection is extracted by force.
[0046] The outer face of the female projection has another projection or lug, made in the
shape considered most convenient to be adapted to another fixing or movement item
of the clip-fitted window lug together with the vehicle window. A recess could be
used instead of this projection on the outer face, as long as it can be fixed shifted
or moved as convenient.
[0047] The described clip-fitted window lug, together with the vehicle window housed in
the way described can be incorporated onto a window fixing drive device without any
sidewards movement.
[0048] The drive device or slide in this application is provided with a central portion
in which the edge of the clip-fitted window lug is received, with tongues jutting
out on both sides of the said central portion in order to secure the whole assembly.
[0049] In this particular case, two elastic tongues are set up, one on each side of the
central portion, and another two rigid tongues, also one on each side of the central
portion. Of the two flexible tongues, one of them is provided with a groove and the
other with a projection, whereas the two rigid tongues are flat. The upper ends of
all these tongues are provided with curved areas to allow easy insertion of the clip-fitted
window lug and the window itself.
[0050] In this case, after being specially studied in single-rail window winders, the glass
is provided with two drill holes. One of these drill holes receives the U-shaped part,
while the other, which is a certain distance from the first,remains free to be connected
with the projection on one of the tongues on the slide.
[0051] The clip-fitted window lug is housed in the groove of one of the flexible tongues,
whereas the projection on the other flexible tongue is housed in the other drill hole
in the glass. The housing of the lug on the U-shaped part into the groove allows any
dispersion to be absorbed which might have been produced between the distance of the
drill hole cut in the window.
[0052] The window glass, therefore, is retained or held between the flexible and the rigid
tongues, and its immovability is ensured by means of the said pairs of tongues and
by the effect of the pressure exerted on the lower edge of the glass by the other
two elastic tongues arranged at the ends of the central portion of the drive device
or slide. In this way, as the window glass is perfectly fitted and fastened, it is
possible to eliminate the lower guidance from the window.
[0053] The clip-fitted window lug can also be fitted on a drive slide with sidewards movement
of the window in both directions. In this case, the window is provided with one single
drill hole, which receives the U-shaped part, and the drive slide is provided with
a flexible tongue on one side of its central portion, which includes a groove in which
the lug on the said U-shaped part is housed and can move in its interior.
[0054] The lower portion of the clip-fitted window lug rests on the central portion above
some tongues which exert pressure on the edge of this lower portion. The drive slide
is also provided with another two rigid tongues located at the other side of the central
portion of the slide, which, together with the flexible tongue, control and hold the
window.
[0055] All these and other details of the invention will be understood more clearly by referring
to the attached sheets of drawings, which are of a non-restrictive nature and included

[0056] Referring now to Fig. 1 of the drawings, the glass securing and drive support (1)
is structured by means of a rib (16) which is the base of the facing projections or
branches (8) at the sides and which are connected by means of the upper edge or bridge
(9) which runs superficially. The rib is provided with a reinforcing wall (17), which
strengthens the support.
[0057] Two facing lugs (5, 6) rise from the rib (16) and protrude upwards, with the lower
edge (15) of the glass (C) being supported on the ends of these lugs, which flex due
to the weight of the glass until they adopt the positions (5', 6'), with this deformation
being controlled and limited by the lower stop (7).
[0058] The bridge or upper edge (9) has a protruding pivot (3) which is housed in the drill
hole (2) in the glass, which, as shown in Fig. 1, is offset in relation to the centre
of the support and is just above the position of the stop (7).
[0059] The support is also provided with a rigid projection (10) which rises centrally as
shown specifically in Figs. 2 and 3. The pivot (3) and the lugs (5, 6) are clear of
the front of the projection (10), so access to the pivot is perfectly possible from
the exterior.
[0060] When the pivot (3) is housed in the drill hole (2) in the glass (C) and this has
been received in the support (1), the glass can adopt any of the positions (C1, C2,
C3), with angles (B) displaced upwards or downwards in relation to the horizontal,
to make the said assemblies easier.
[0061] The centre of the engaging pivot (3), thanks to the elastic deformation of the branches
(8), can be displaced (±d) in a plane parallel to the surface of the glass (C), Fig.
1, in order to absorb any angular divergence which might be present between the movement
rail(s) and the door guides.
[0062] For reasons of tensile strength, the cross section or the number of the branches
(8) can be increased, for example, by arranging other branches (N) parallel to those
mentioned (8).
[0063] The support (1) has the means (19) in its portion (A) in the form of recesses in
which the profile guide (B) is received, by which the support with the glass is guided.
In accordance with Fig. 3, we can see the elastic lug (11) of the portion (A), through
which continuous contact is ensured between the support and the said guide (B).
[0064] Looking now at Fig. 3, it can be appreciated how the facing walls of the edge (9)
and of the rigid projection are divergent from the point where they meet. The distance
(e) between both points is less than the thickness of the glass (C). In the same way,
in this same Figure, we can see how the width (E2) of the rib (16) in the support
is in turn greater than the thickness (E) of the glass.
[0065] As regards the pivot (3) shown in detail in Fig. 3
a, its special geometry can be observed, with the upper chamfer or bevel (18), in which
the lower edge (15) of the glass will slide in order to insert the pivot into the
drill hole (2) in this glass for a fast assembly.
[0066] The side surfaces (12) are convergent with each other, as can be seen, in order to
make it easy to insert the pivot into the drill hole.
[0067] The upper surface (18) is provided with a blind recess (14), to which access can
be easily obtained from the exterior in order to release the pivot from its position
in the drill hole in the glass when wishing to discontinue the connection between
the support and the glass.
[0068] The lower projection (13), whose internal wall takes in the thickness of the glass,
as shown; the disfrom this internal wall to the start of the pivot (3), which has
been marked with (E2), is in turn slightly greater than the thickness of the glass.
[0069] The assembly of the support is quite simple, given that it is sufficient to situate
it over the guide (B), on one side, securing the channel or slot (19) in the guide,
while, on the other side, the glass is inserted under pressure by forcing the bridge
(9) and the pivot (3), until it becomes positioned between the bridge (9) and the
branches (8), and the rigid projection (10).
[0070] In Fig. 4 we can appreciate the fixed body (37) provided with a base (not numbered),
a drive portion (20) and two fingers (39, 39') essentially parallel to the said portion
(20), which act as a support for the surface of the glass. A pair of upwardly projecting
lugs or ribs, between the finger (39) and the portion (20) act as a seating base for
the lower edge of the glass.
[0071] At the lower end of the fixed part (37) we can observe a housing (36) in the form
of a track or rail to receive the lower end of the mobile part (38).
[0072] This track (36) is limited by the upward portion (24), forming a U-shaped housing,
with this portion (24) also being close to a cylindrical ledge (32).
[0073] In the same Fig. 4, we can observe the mobile part (38) indicated by the dotted line,
which is presented with its surface against the fixed part (37), making it possible
to appreciate how the lugs (23, 23') are not in contact with the said mobile part
(38).
[0074] Figure 5 allows us to check this insertion of the mobile part (38) into the fixed
part (37), according to which the lower edge of the mobile part (38) is received in
the track or rail (36), and a rear cylindrical support (28) on the mobile part is
to become housed in a slot (30) in the fixed part (37). In Fig. 5 we can also observe
the portion of the lower edge of the mobile part (38) in relation to the projection
(24) and the ledge (32) on the fixed part (37), one of the lugs (23) and the area
(33) of the mobile part (38)which slides on the fixed part.
[0075] With the part previously housed in accordance with (D) and its lower edge seated
in the track, the cylindrical support (28) and another two supports, which will be
observed later, become houosed in the slots (30, 31). Also in accordance with Fig.
7, it can be appreciated how this insertion does not interfere with the two lugs (23,
23') and therefore turning can be carried out in accordance with (F) for the mobile
part to become attached to the fixed part.
[0076] Once this operation has been carried out, the mobile part (38) is moved manually
towards the right, as shown in Fig. 6. In this operation, the sliding ends (33, 33')
of the mobile part (38) are received inside the lugs (23, 23') and at the same time
the lower portion of the end (33) is controlled by the projection (24) and the ledge
(32) on the fixed part (37). A pair of lower supports (35, 35') help in the sliding
of the mobile part (38) in accordance with the direction (P) shown in Fig. 6, since
they prevent friction during the movement.
[0077] Fig. 7 also allows the assembled unit to be appreciated, with the mobile part (38)
perfectly fitted onto the fixed part.
[0078] The rear rib (26) which appears in Figs. 4, 5 and 7 and forms part of the fixed part
(37) is worth special attention. Its purpose can be observed in greater detail by
also checking Figs. 8 and 9.
[0079] Looking now at Fig. 8, we can appreciate clearly the shape of the mobile part (38)
with its two sliding ends (33, 33') in the form of moderate elevations, as well as
the cylindrical supports (27, 28) which become housed in the slots in the fixed part.
These slots have been illustrated with dotted lines, as has the position (26) that
corresponds to the rear or dead rib that was mentioned earlier.
[0080] The cylindrical support (28) also forms a ramp (29) which opens out towards the right
and can be seen clearly in Fig. 9. This ramp (29) allows that when the mobile part
(38) is moved towards the left during assembly (Fig. 9), the rear or dead rib (26)
slides along the ramp through the different positions until it occupies the space
between the ramp (29) and the adjoining ledge (34).
[0081] These positions can be seen clearly in Fig. 9, as can the final stage with the cylindrical
ledge (27) housed in the slot (31) in the fixed part (37) and the projections (28,
34) received in the slot (30) in the same part.
[0082] The purpose of the rib (26) is to autocentre the mobile part (38) in the glass assembly
operation and it does not presuppose any limitation of the movement capacity of the
said mobile part, which clips the glass onto the drive mechanism or fixed part (37)
by means of the upper connection (25).
[0083] The mobile part is submitted to minimum loads during all the operations of the window
winder, with the peculiarity that it does not bear nor receive the striking energy
generated in closing the door.
[0084] As can be observed, the cylindrical supports (27, 28) are situated as far as possible
from the fixing axis of the glass (22), with which the tilting torques generated in
the mobile part (38) are reduced when the glass acts on it and a favourable movement-load
ratio is achieved.
[0085] The cylindrical supports (27, 28) of the mobile part (38) bear the tensile stress
of the glass during its descending movement, when the said glass is driven by the
ledge (25).
[0086] The supports (35, 35') of the mobile part (38), at the same time as they minimize
the frictions by movement of the said part (38) taking place according to (P) in the
ascending movement of the glass, do it in such a way that the dispersion of the position
of the rails is compensated.
[0087] In accordance with Fig. 10, we can observe the clipfitted window lug (40), which
is a part made of flexible plastic with a U-shaped cross section, with two wings (41,
42) conected to each other by means of a weakened area which allows the mutual closing
together of the said wings.
[0088] The wing (42) has the hollow cylindrical projection (45) and the wing (41) includes
another projection (44), both projections being on facing sides and corresponding
to each other.
[0089] The window glass (46), which is provided with a drill hole close to its lower edge,
receives the cylindrical projection (45) on the wing (42) into this drill hole, so
that once it is housed, the wing (41) can be turned for the projection (44) to be
inserted under pressure into the hollow interior of the projection (45). The rear
side of the clip-fitted window lug is provided with the protruding lug (47), responsible
for being adapted to any other fixing or moving element.
[0090] Fig. 11 illustrates perfectly the arrangement of the already performed assembly in
the clearly marked part, showing from the position (41') of the wing to its final
position (41), as well as the final and initial positions (44) and (44') of the projection
which is housed under pressure in the interior of the receiving projection (45), which
in turn is received in the drill hole in the glass (46), which becomes perfectly housed
and controlled.
[0091] We can also appreciate in Fig. 11, illustrated by the dotted line, the projection
(47) on the outer face (42) of the part (40). This projection, which could alternatively
be a recess, will be provided with the shape necessary so that it can be fixed, moved
or displaced according to the needs of the assembly and located where most convenient.
[0092] Fig. 12 allows the position of the projection (47) to be appreciated, in a specific
solution, at the end of the wing (42).
[0093] Fig. 13 shows the drive device or slide (48) for fixing the window without sidewards
movement, in whose central portion (56) is situated the clip-fitted window lug (40)
that includes the window (46). At both sides of this portion (56) we can see the flexible
tongues (49, 51), of which one of these is equipped with the groove (50) that receives
the projection (47) of the clip-fitted window lug (40) and the other projection of
the lug (52) that is received in another drill hole cut in the window (46).
[0094] On this slide (48) it is also possible to appreciate the other two rigid tongues
(53, 54) which hold and immobilize the window (46), with it being secured between
these tongues by the effect of the pressure exerted on the edge of the glass by the
two end tongues (55).
[0095] In the case of Fig. 14, the slide (57), designed for sidewards movement of the window,
