  • Patent number: 11008796
    Abstract: A window lifter assembly includes a window pane which includes a connecting portion to which an adapter is molded, the adapter thereby being an integral part of the window pane, the adapter forming a driver element for moving the window pane along an adjustment direction and forming a supporting structure which extends in the adjustment direction and in a transverse direction and running generally perpendicular to the adjustment direction and parallel to a pane plane defined by the window pane, wherein an extension of the supporting structure along the transverse direction is at least twice as large as an extension of the driver element along the transverse direction.

  • Patent number: 10844643
    Abstract: It is provided a window lifter assembly, comprising an adjustable window pane for a vehicle window lifter, in which the window pane in a closed state is flush with upper and/or lateral body parts which border a window opening, to be closed by the window pane, in a window frame. The window lifter assembly furthermore has at least one pane guide element which is fixed on the window pane in the region of a lateral pane edge and at least one frame-side guide element at which the pane guide element is held displaceably on the window opening. The at least one pane guide element is of multi-part design with at least one first guide part and a second guide part.

  • Patent number: 10808443
    Abstract: A window lifter assembly includes a guide rail defining an adjustment direction for a window pane, a cable for transmitting an adjusting force for moving the window pane along the guide rail, a driver element connected to the window pane and the cable, and a sliding element being a separate component from the driver element, wherein the driver element and the sliding element are connected via an at least two-stage latching connection, via which the sliding element and the driver element can be first connected to each other in a mounting position, wherein when the sliding element is shifted along the guide rail to an end position, moves relative of the sliding element the driver element such that the sliding element and the driver element move into a functional position which is different from the mounting position.

  • Patent number: 10787851
    Abstract: A window regulator assembly includes a window pane which is adjustable along an adjustment path and which extends along a plane, wherein the window pane in a closed state is flush-mounted relative to at least one of upper or lateral bodywork parts which border a window opening to be closed by the window pane. The window regulator assembly also includes at least one first guide element which is fixed to the window pane in the region of a lateral edge of the window pane, and at least one second guide element on which the first guide element is displaceably held along the adjustment path of the window pane wherein the first or second guide element may include at least one resiliently displaceable latching portion.

  • Patent number: 10218297
    Abstract: An adjustment device for a closure element on a vehicle, such as e.g. a window pane, a sunroof or a convertible top, is provided. The closure element is adjustable between an open and a closed position by means of the adjustment device, wherein the adjustment device includes a drive motor and an electronic control unit for adjusting the closure element and the control unit comprises a bridge circuit, in order to supply the drive motor with electric power and control the rotational speed and the direction of rotation of a drive element of the drive motor to be coupled with the closure element. The bridge circuit is connected with at least one additional load of the vehicle, such as e.g. a window heater, and is formed and provided to control the energization of the at least one additional electronic load.
