Flush window regulator.

摘要

A regulator is concerned for moving a window (16) in a vehicle door successively substantially vertically and horizontally to close the window (16), and in reverse to open the window (16). Once the window (16) is closed vertically the lower edge is moved outwardly horizontally to become substantially flush with the outside surface of the door of the vehicle. The regulator comprises a closed loop of cable (20) wrapped about a reversible driving drum (22) and having a vertical reach (28) which is attached to a pulley (52) connected to the window carrier (70). This pulley (52) is provided with a pair of diametrically opposite cam follower pins or rollers (56,57) that are guided in a vertical slot (40) parallel to the vertical reach (28) of cable (20). The slot (40) is bifurcated into diverging cam slots (46,47) at its upper end for rotating the pulley (52) as the cable means (20) continues to pull. The pulley (52) has a projection (60) with a helical groove (62) that receives a pin (76) carried by a window-mounting carrier (70) so that rotation of the pulley (52) moves the carrier (70) and lower edge of the window (16) horizontally. When the cable (20) pulls in the other direction the window (16) and carrier (70) are cammed inwardly horizontally before lowering the window carrier (70) to open the window (16).
