Heated sliding window assembly

摘要

A heated sliding window assembly includes at least one fixed window. A rail is attached to the fixed window. A sliding window is moveable along the rail between open and closed positions. The sliding window includes a heater grid and an electrical contact. A conductive member is attached to the at least one fixed window. The conductive member provides electrical coupling between the conductive member and the electrical contact through the entire movement range of the sliding window between the open and closed positions for providing current to the heater grid.

1. A heated sliding window assembly comprising:
at least one fixed window positioned on a back of a vehicle; a rail attached to the fixed window; a sliding window positioned on the back of the vehicle, the sliding window moveable along the rail between open and closed positions, the sliding window including a first heater grid directly attached to a glass of the sliding window and electrical contacts attached to the sliding window; the at least one fixed window includes a second heater grid attached thereto; electrically conductive members mounted on the at least one fixed window, the conductive members providing sliding electrical couplings with the electrical contacts by physically slidingly engaging the sliding window electrical contacts through the entire movement range of the sliding window between the open and closed positions for providing current to the first heater grid and providing current to the second heater grid.
