Abstract: A door for vehicles which includes an outer door panel and an inner door panel and is equipped with a window regulator unit. The inner panel is formed with an attachment recess for a window glass regulator unit and a slit. The window regulator unit is attached to the bottom of the attachment recess and has a window regulator arm or connecting pin extending through the slit into a space between the outer and inner panels for operative connection with an attachment plate fixed to the door glass, the connecting pin interconnecting the door glass and the window regulator arm.

Abstract: A windowed oven door for ranges having self-cleaning ovens comprises a system for simultaneously locking the door and raising a shield to cover the window. A linkage mechanism in the shield raising part of the system includes a pair of overcenter link arms which are retained in their past dead center position while the oven door is locked on an oven during its self-cleaning cycle.

Abstract: A unitized frame housing a slidable door. The main body of the frame is a single molded structure fittable between a pair of walls within a building. Guide means provided within the main body slidably receives a door which is opened and closed by an electric motor. Various linkages and gears connect the electric motor to the door. A neck integrally attached to the main body extends outwardly of the building walls housing the main body of the frame forms a passageway allowing access through the building walls and main body when the door is not closed. The neck flares outwardly providing a trim portion which seats outwardly of the building walls facilitating a smooth boundary between the building and neck. Means are provided for securing the unitized main body to the building.

Abstract: An articulated window lifter, especially for motor vehicles, whose windowpane is to be not only lowered within predetermined boundaries but also has to be laterally displaced and pivoted for purposes of avoiding door frame parts and the like which lie in its way; a pinion supported on a base plate engages with a toothed sector which is pivotally supported on the base plate while linkage parts are pivotally connected with the toothed sector; two four-jointed transmissions with a common fixed pivot point on a base plate are thereby used in superposed relationship, whereby one of the four-jointed transmissions has a further pivot point on the base plate and includes two pivot arms pivotally supported in the two pivot points on the base plate and a rod connecting the two pivot arms with each other; the other four-jointed transmission includes a first pivot arm connected at a fixed angle, with a first one of the two pivot arms of the one four-jointed transmission; the first pivot arm of the other four-jointed tran

Abstract: A window is mounted on supporting structure of a motorcar body on a carrier for limited vertical movement. A motion-transmitting linkage connecting the carrier to a lifting drive includes a link which is movably secured to the carrier and the supporting structure. One of the securing devices for the link includes a forked guide channel having the shape of a tuning fork and bounding a keyhole-shaped guide slot. A guide pin has a shank slidably received in the slot and two enlarged heads outside the slot on respective ends of the shank. The width of the enlarged slot part is sufficient to pass one of the heads while the remainder of the slot is narrower than the corresponding dimensions of both heads for securing the pin against transverse movement out of the narrow slot part.

Abstract: A window channel assembly and a mechanism closure panel are mounted internally of a truck cab for rigidification thereof, and for supportingly carrying a window which is vertically movable in a window opening formed in the rear panel of the cab. The window is remotely movable by means of power operated regulator that is carried on an upstanding support panel affixed to the floor of the truck cab.

Abstract: A window regulator mechanism for sequentially moving a plurality of window panels between open and closed positions including a pivotal gear sector adapted to rotate first through a first range of pivotal movement, while directly controlling the operation of a small vent window and which sequentially rotates through a second range of pivotal movement to directly control the operation of a second window. Lost motion means and a latch mechanism prevent simultaneous movement of the vent and the second window.

Abstract: A window pane holder which retains the bottom end of a window pane, slidably mounted in a sash on a door of an automotive vehicle, and which is connected with an elevating unit for lifting and lowering the window pane. The holder comprises a framework formed of a hard synthetic resin and including a pair of opposite sidewalls and a bottom, the sidewalls defining a slot therebetween for receiving the window pane. The holder also comprises an extension downwardly depending from the framework. At least in the end portions of the slot, the pair of sidewalls are provided with ribs extending into such slot portions and having surfaces which are adapted to bear against the window pane as it is received into the slot so as to leave a clearance between the sidewalls and the window pane in which to receive an adhesive.

Abstract: A vehicle window regulator mechanism for lowering and raising two glass sections of a vehicle window comprises a pair of first and second regulator arms on which are supported a vent glass and a main glass, respectively, a sector gear pivotally mounted on a vehicle base plate member and operatively connected to the two arms, and a plurality of cam slots and cam followers operatively connecting the two arms with the sector gear and the vehicle base plate. The two glasses may be sequentially or simultaneously lowered and raised due to different arrangements between the cam slots and the cam followers upon rotational movement of the sector gear.

Abstract: To meet the legal requirements for bus safety, all locking devices on entrance and emergency doors must be removed before the bus is placed in service. For that purpose, the ignition key is made part of a simple locking assembly that is used to lock the emergency door. The driver's obtaining the key to operate the bus engine, insures the unlocking of the emergency door. The unlocking of the entrance door is accomplished by an inside pivoted cam assembly, actuated by a locking handle on the outside of the bus. The unlocking pivoted cam assembly inside the bus, then entirely disengages the door controlling mechanism, which then has normal operating freedom.

Abstract: This window regulator of the parallel-motion type comprises two parallel links with a front run channel rigid with a curved guider rail reproducing the movements of the glass-supporting bottom channel, a rolling member rigid with said bottom channel engaging said guide rail, one of said links being pivoted to a fixed pin of said bottom channel and to a pivot pin carried by a fixed plate supporting the control mechanism, the other link being rigid with a rotary member coupled to said mechanism and pivoted by means of another rolling member to the bottom channel and also to a pin rigid with said plate, this window regulator being intended more particularly for curved quarter-light windows of motor vehicles.
