Abstract

A fastening device for a vehicle window lifter includes at least one guide rail for guiding a driver for a window glass or pane. A joint piece has two joint pins integrally formed axially opposite one another thereon along an axis of rotation, a fastening bolt, and a connection portion connected to the guide rail. The connection portion has a connection leg, with a through-opening for the fastening bolt, between two lateral legs having mutually aligned joint grooves for receiving the joint pins of the joint piece, which pivots between the lateral legs and is pivotably mounted in the connection portion. A vehicle window lifter for adjusting a window glass of a motor vehicle is also provided.

Claims (38)

1. A fastening device for a vehicle window lifter having at least one guide rail for displaceably guiding a driver for a window glass, the fastening device comprising:

a joint piece having a main body with an opening formed therein, said joint piece having two joint pins integrally molded on said main body and disposed mutually opposite axially along a rotation axis;

a fastening bolt having first and second shank portions, said first shank portion being insertable or inserted in said opening in said joint piece; and

an attachment portion connected to the guide rail, said attachment portion having two lateral legs and a connection leg between said two lateral legs, said connection leg having a through opening formed therein for receiving said fastening bolt, and said two lateral legs having mutually aligned joint grooves each configured for receiving a respective one of said joint pins of said joint piece;

said main body of said joint piece being pivoted between said lateral legs in a direction of said connection leg and said main body being pivotably mounted in said attachment portion.

2. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein said joint pins of said joint piece each have two respective mutually opposite flat sides as guide faces.

3. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein said joint pins of said joint piece have two mutually opposite radiused or arcuate joint sides as joint faces.

4. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein said joint grooves of said attachment portion each have an introduction portion, a constriction adjoining said introduction portion in a groove longitudinal direction, and a groove portion forming a joint socket for receiving a respective one of said joint pins of said joint piece.

5. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein said main body of said joint piece is cylindrical and has a shell and a joint web being integrally molded on and running tangentially to said shell, said joint pins each being disposed on a respective end side of said joint web.

6. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein said joint grooves have groove legs, and a detent periphery is integrally molded on at least one of said joint pins for bearing said joint piece on at least one of said groove legs.

7. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein:

said opening of said joint piece is a through opening having an internal thread; and

at least one of:

said first shank portion of said fastening bolt has an external thread communicating with said internal thread on said joint piece; or

said opening of said joint piece is eccentric relative to said through opening of said attachment portion.

8. The fastening device according to claim 1 , which further comprises at least one annular detent disposed on said fastening bolt or disposed between said first and second shank portions for at least one of:

bearing on said joint piece for bearing on a frame part or module part or a vehicle door, or

acting as a detent on an opening periphery of said through opening of said attachment portion for delimiting a pivoting movement of said joint piece.

9. A vehicle window lifter, comprising the at least one guide rail, and the fastening device according to claim 1 .

10. A fastening device for a vehicle window lifter having at least one guide rail for displaceably guiding a driver for a window glass, the fastening device comprising:

a joint piece having two joint pins being integrally molded on said joint piece and being disposed mutually opposite axially along a rotation axis;

a fastening bolt having first and second shank portions, said first shank portion being integrated in said joint piece; and

an attachment portion connected to the guide rail, said attachment portion having two lateral legs and a connection leg between said two lateral legs, said connection leg having a through opening formed therein for receiving said fastening bolt, and said two lateral legs having mutually aligned joint grooves each configured for receiving a respective one of said joint pins of said joint piece;

said joint piece being pivoted between said lateral legs in a direction of said connection leg and said joint piece being pivotably mounted in said attachment portion.

11. The fastening device according to claim 10 , wherein said joint pins of said joint piece each have two respective mutually opposite flat sides as guide faces.

12. The fastening device according to claim 10 , wherein said joint pins of said joint piece have two mutually opposite radiused or arcuate joint sides as joint faces.

13. The fastening device according to claim 10 , wherein said joint grooves of said attachment portion each have an introduction portion, a constriction adjoining said introduction portion in a groove longitudinal direction, and a groove portion forming a joint socket for receiving a respective one of said joint pins of said joint piece.

14. The fastening device according to claim 10 , wherein said main body of said joint piece is cylindrical and has a shell and a joint web being integrally molded on and running tangentially to said shell, said joint pins each being disposed on a respective end side of said joint web.

15. The fastening device according to claim 10 , wherein said joint grooves have groove legs, and a detent periphery is integrally molded on at least one of said joint pins for bearing said joint piece on at least one of said groove legs.

16. The fastening device according to claim 10 , wherein:

said opening of said joint piece is a through opening having an internal thread; and

at least one of:

said first shank portion of said fastening bolt has an external thread communicating with said internal thread on said joint piece; or

said opening of said joint piece is eccentric relative to said through opening of said attachment portion.

17. The fastening device according to claim 10 , which further comprises at least one annular detent disposed on said fastening bolt or disposed between said first and second shank portions for at least one of:

bearing on said joint piece for bearing on a frame part or module part or a vehicle door, or

acting as a detent on an opening periphery of said through opening of said attachment portion for delimiting a pivoting movement of said joint piece.

18. A vehicle window lifter, comprising the at least one guide rail, and the fastening device according to claim 10 .
