ABSTRACT:
The window in the door of an automotive vehicle is raised and lowered by means of an externally threaded, longitudinally moving cable. The drive arrangement for the cable includes a shell having first and second shell portions of which at least one is formed with an aperture. A pinion is rotatably secured between the shell portions and journaled in the aperture of apertures. A first group of fastening devices fastens the first shell portion to the second shell portion in a predetermined position, but may also fasten the shell portions to one another in each of a plurality of other positions angularly offset about the axis of pinion rotation from the predetermined position. The shell portions define therebetween respective passages through the shell in the several positions of the first shell portion, the passages being approximately tangential relative to the pinion and angularly offset from each other about the axis of the pinion. Each passage is associated with one of the positions of the first shell portion, and the externally threaded cable is movably received in the passage associated with the predetermined position of the first shell portion, but dimensioned for longitudinal movement in each of the other passages. A second group of fastening devices permits the second shell portion to be fastened to the vehicle door.
