  • Patent number: 4694610
    Abstract: A cable window lift for automobiles and similar vehicles. The cable window lift is characterized by the provision of support arms to support the window pane against tilting in the direction of the plane of the window pane, bening symmetrically arranged in V-type manner to the cable section extending in the direction of displacement when seen perpendicularly to the window pane. The two support arms are operationally joined at one end to carry out a common but oppositely directed motion and rest in fixed but rotatable manner on a stationary component. The other ends of the support arms engage guide slots, grooves or the like which are solidly fastened to the window pane. Furthermore, embodiments are provided wherein the spatial configuration is reversed. While gears are preferably cited as the operational connecting means of the support arms, one illustrative embodiment also discloses a scissor-like connection of the support arms.
