ABSTRACT:
A window regulator for raising and lowering a window glass in a motor vehicle. The regulator includes left and right guide rails, left and right window glass carriers slidably mounted on the rails and mounted on the lower edge of the glass, pulleys mounted on the rails, a motor and drum assembly mounted within the door, and cable assemblies suitably trained around the pulleys, secured to the carriers, and wrapped around the drum so that energization of the motor has the effect of raising and lowering the glass. Each window glass carrier includes a slide mounted on the rail and a clamp secured to the lower edge of the window glass. The slide and clamp are coupled together in response to lateral movement of the slide relative to the clamp to snapingly couple the slide and clamp together. The slide member coacts with the clamp in one of the window glass carriers to provide a significant amount of lateral movement between the coupled slide and clamp to allow the regulator to compensate for other than precise parallelism between the first and second rails. The same slide member, rotated with respect to its position in the one window glass carrier, snapingly coacts with the clamp assembly of the other window glass carrier to provide a relatively rigid interconnection therebetween.
