Adjustable glass clamp for cable drive window regulators

1. A window clip for connecting a window to a window lift, said window clip comprising:

a unitary clip body having a generally U-shaped profile and a window lift connector attached to said clip body, said clip body including a pair of generally opposed side walls connected at a closed bottom portion and an opening opposite said closed bottom portion for receiving said window, each one of said pair of generally opposed side walls having an inner face in a facing spaced relationship with respect to each other and having a single concave curvilinear surface on said inner face; and

an isolator adapted to fit into said clip body, said isolator having a convex curvilinear portion mating in direct contact with said concave curvilinear surface on said inner face, wherein said isolator is a single sheet of resilient material having two convex curvilinear portions extending from a first surface of said sheet.

2. The window clip of claim 1 , wherein each of said inner faces opposite each other have only a single concave curvilinear surface.

3. The window clip of claim 1 , wherein said isolator is comprised of a resilient material that is deformable under pressure contact.

4. The window clip of claim 1 , wherein at least one rib extends from said closed bottom portion and towards said opening.

5. The window clip of claim 4 , wherein said isolator includes at least one opening therein, said rib extending therethrough.

6. The window clip of claim 1 , wherein, each said inner face extends from said curvilinear portion to said closed bottom portion at a diverging angle from said curvilinear portion.

7. The window clip of claim 1 , wherein each said inner face extends from said curvilinear portion to said opening at a diverging angle from said curvilinear portion.

8. The window clip of claim 1 , wherein at least one of said opposed side walls includes at least one finger extending from said inner face of said side wall.

9. The window clip of claim 1 , wherein said at least one of said opposed side walls includes at least two fingers extending from said inner face, one of said at least two fingers being located between said concave curvilinear surface and said opening, another of said at least two fingers being located between said concave curvilinear surface and said closed bottom portion.

10. The window dip of claim 9 , wherein each of said opposed side walls includes at least two fingers.

11. The window dip of claim 1 , wherein said clip body is a reinforced plastic element.

12. A window lift mechanism comprising:

a window lift actuator;

a window clip for attaching to a window;

a window cable interposed between said actuator and said window clip for actuating the window clip between first and second positions, said window clip further including a unitary clip body having a generally U-shaped profile and a window lift connector attached to said clip body, said clip body including a pair of generally opposed side walls connected at a closed bottom portion with an opening for receiving said window opposite therefrom, each of said opposed side walls having an inner face in a facing spaced relationship with respect to each other and having a single concave curvilinear surface on said inner face; and

an isolator adapted to fit into said clip body, said isolator having a convex curvilinear portion mating in direct contact with said concave curvilinear surface on said inner face, wherein said isolator is a single sheet of resilient material having two convex curvilinear portions extending from a first surface of said sheet.

13. The window lift mechanism of claim 12 , wherein each of said inner faces opposite each other have only a single concave curvilinear surface.

14. The window lift mechanism of claim 12 , wherein said clip body is a reinforced plastic element.

15. The window lift mechanism as in claim 12 , wherein at least one of said opposed side walls includes at least one finger extending from said inner face of said side wall.

16. The window lift mechanism as in claim 13 , wherein said at least one of said opposed side walls includes at least two fingers extending from said inner face, one of said at least two fingers being located between said concave curvilinear surface and said opening, another of said at least two fingers being located between said concave curvilinear surface and said closed bottom portion.

17. The window lift mechanism as in claim 16 , wherein each of said opposed side walls includes at least two fingers.
