  • Patent number: 10041284
    Abstract: In a window regulator which moves a slider base, slidable along a guide rail, via a pair of wires, the slider base includes: a guide portion which is fitted to the guide rail to be movable in the longitudinal direction thereof; first and second wire engaging portions with which ends of the wires are engaged, respectively; and first and second force application portions which receive a force in a moving direction of the slider base from the wires, and the guide portion is positioned in at least one of the areas between the first force application portion and the first wire engaging portion and between the second force application portion and the second wire engaging portion in the widthwise direction of the guide rail. This makes it possible to obtain a window regulator which is superior in smoothness of operation and operating efficiency of the slider base.

  • Patent number: 10030430
    Abstract: In a window regulator which moves a slider base, slidable along a guide rail, via a pair of wires, the slider base is configured of: a body member made of synthetic resin which is slidably supported by the guide rail and to which each wire is connected; and a support member made of metal which supports a window glass, and the support member is provided with a holding portion which holds the body member in the widthwise direction of the guide rail. This configuration makes it possible to achieve a window regulator in which the slider base is not easily warped or deformed when an external force is exerted thereon and which is superior in strength and durability.
