WINDOW REGULATOR FOR A DOOR ASSEMBLY OF A VEHICLE

摘要

A window regulator includes a guide and an elongated carrier attached to the guide. A drive cable is driven by an actuator to move the carrier relative to the guide. A support cable includes a first end that is attached to a forward edge of a window opening of a door structure. The support cable includes a second end that is attached to a lower end of the guide. A first direction control device is attached to and rotatably supported by the carrier, proximate to a forward edge of the window opening. A second direction control device is attached to and rotatably supported by the carrier, and is disposed rearward of the first direction control device, between the first direction control device and the guide. The support cable is engaged with and guided by the first direction control device and the second direction control device.

主权项

1. A door assembly comprising:
a structure having a first edge, a second edge, and a lower edge, and wherein the structure defines a window opening; a guide attached to the structure generally midway between the first edge and the second edge of the structure, wherein the guide extends between a first end and a second end along a guide axis; wherein the first end of the guide is disposed adjacent the lower edge of the structure generally midway between the first edge and the second edge of the structure, and the second end of the guide is disposed adjacent the window opening generally midway between the first edge and the second edge of the structure; a carrier attached to the guide and moveable relative to the guide along the guide axis between a raised position and a lowered position, wherein the carrier is disposed adjacent the second end of the guide when in the raised position; and a support cable having a first end attached to the structure adjacent the window opening, and a second end attached to the structure adjacent the first end of the guide and the lower edge of the structure.
