Abstract:

A unit window regulator assembly is adapted for use in conjunction with a vehicle door or body having a framework and an upright opening defined by inner and outer walls. The regulator comprises a pair of spaced transverse support brackets securable to said framework and supportably mounting an upwardly opening C frame in said opening for longitudinal and transverse adjustments within said opening. A pair of spaced elevator channels receive and supportably mount the lower edge of an upright window secured thereto. A pair of parallel spaced formed guide rods at their lower ends are anchored to said brackets and at their upper ends are secured to said outer wall. First lateral apertured flanges on said channels receive and are guidably mounted on said rods for a predetermined vertical and translation movement within the window opening. Second lateral flanges upon the opposite side of said channels provide a means of connecting the ends of a pair of elevator cables which are respectively secured to said lateral flanges, and are wound in opposite directions around a rotatable capstan mounted on the inner wall. A series of coplaner longitudinally spaced upper and lower pulleys are supported upon said C frame over which the respective cables extend in such fashion that selective rotation of said capstan respectively raises and lowers said window in a path defined by said guide rods.
