Bracket for window regulator window regulator and vehicle body
View Patent ↗A vehicle window regulator includes a fixing lug including a first part for fixing to a window guide rail having a window-guiding direction and a second part for fixing to a vehicle body. The second part defines a plane, and a normal line perpendicular to the plane that is inclined relative to the window-guiding direction. The normal line is preferably inclined at an angle of approximately 45° relative to the window-guiding direction. The lug can be fixed in the vehicle body without the lug turning on itself during fixing by screwing, for example.
1. A vehicle body comprising:
a window regulator including:
a lug for fixing the window regulator;
a guide rail defining a window-guiding direction, the guide rail including ends, wherein the guide rail carries the lug at one of the ends; and
a bridge fitting for fixing the window regulator in the vehicle body,
wherein the lug includes a first part for fixing to the guide rail, and a second part defining a plane fixed by screwing onto the bridge fitting, a screwing direction being a normal line substantially perpendicular to the plane, and the normal line is inclined relative to the window-guiding direction.
2. The vehicle body according to the claim 1 , wherein the bridge fitting includes a surface, and the normal line is substantially perpendicular to the surface.
3. The vehicle body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the normal line and the window-guiding direction are non-parallel.
4. The vehicle body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second part is a planar portion.
5. A window regulator comprising:
a lug carried by a window regulator, the lug including:
a first part for fixing to a guide rail, the guide rail defining a window-guiding direction, and
a second part for fixing to a vehicle body, the second part defining a plane fixed by screwing onto the vehicle body of a vehicle, a screwing direction being a normal line substantially perpendicular to the plane,
wherein the normal line is inclined relative to the window-guiding direction.
6. The window regulator according to claim 5 , wherein the normal line is inclined at an angle of approximately 45° relative to the window-guiding direction.
7. The window regulator according to claim 5 , wherein the first part and the second part are connected to each other by a connection that extends in a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane containing the window-guiding direction.
8. The window regulator according to claim 7 , wherein the second part includes a hole for the passage of a member for fixing the lug onto the vehicle body.
9. The window regulator according to claim 8 , wherein the hole is substantially oblong.
10. The window regulator as recited in claim 8 , wherein the hole is completely surrounded by material of the second part.
11. A window regulator according to claim 5 , wherein the guide rail has ends, and the guide rail carries the lug at one of the ends.
12. The window regulator according to claim 11 , further including a window slide guided by the guide rail.
13. The window regulator according to claim 11 , wherein the guide rail is a window runner.
14. The window regulator as recited in claim 11 , wherein the normal line and the window-guiding direction are non-parallel.
15. The window regulator as recited in claim 11 , wherein the second part is a planar portion.
16. The window regulator as recited in claim 5 , wherein the normal line and the window-guiding direction are non-parallel.
17. The window regulator as recited in claim 5 , wherein the second part is a planar portion.
18. The window regulator as recited in claim 5 , wherein the normal line is non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the window-guiding direction.
19. The window regulator as recited in claim 5 , wherein an entirely of the second part of the lug is flat and planar.
20. The window regulator as recited in claim 5 , wherein no part of the second part of the lug is located outside of the plane.
21. The window regulator as recited in claim 5 , wherein the second part contacts the vehicle body.
