ABSTRACT:
A window regulator for moving a pair of slidable window panes toward and away from one another utilizes three flexible, inextensible members such as cables to achieve a pull open/pull closed mode of operation of the slidable panes. First and second of the flexible members are attached to respective first and second pane carriers and to a drive drum, and the third flexible member connects the first and second pane carriers. The first and third flexible members are routed around pulleys located at outboard ends of a guide rail along which the pane carriers travel such that rotation of the drive drum in one direction pulls the panes toward an open position, and rotation of the drum in the opposite direction pulls the panes toward a closed position. The first and second pane carriers engage the respective first and second panes by mating engagement between male and female members to achieve a connection which restrains the panes against tipping and binding as they slide along their guide tracks, yet allows relative movement between the pane carriers and the panes along an axis substantially perpendicular to the panes. This type of connection avoids binding or jamming of the panes during sliding movement and simplifies the assembly process.
