  • Patent number: 9346339
    Abstract: [PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED] To provide a vehicle door, in which the arrangement of the reinforcing bracket is not limited, and the strength of the joined portion between the door frame and the door panel can be improved. The vehicle door has a portion of a door frame that forms a window opening inserted into the inside of a door panel. The door frame is provided with a stepped portion which separates a surface area on the frame forming portion side and a surface area on the insertion portion side from each other; the surface area on the insertion portion side that is continuous with the stepped portion is formed as an inner-panel facing surface facing the inner panel; the inner-panel facing surface is shifted in a direction away from the inner panel by the stepped portion; and the reinforcing bracket is made to overlap the shifted inner-panel facing surface therealong.

  • Publication number: 20150042127
    Abstract: A vertical sliding window assembly can be coupled to a vehicle. The vertical sliding window assembly includes first and second fixed panels adapted to be fixed to the vehicle. The fixed panels each have a top edge and a bottom edge spaced from each other. A top cross-member is coupled to the first and second fixed panels adjacent the top edge. A bottom cross-member is spaced from the top cross-member and is coupled to the first and second fixed panels adjacent the bottom edge. A sliding panel has an interior surface and an exterior surface opposite the interior surface and is movable relative to the fixed panels. The top cross-member is disposed adjacent the exterior surface of the sliding panel and the bottom cross-member is disposed adjacent the interior surface of the sliding panel such that the exterior surface of the sliding panel is unobstructed by the bottom cross-member.

  • Patent number: 8079179
    Abstract: A sliding door structure comprises at least one door or plate (12), and a substantially horizontally arranged track device (13). The track device (13) includes a stationary track part (14) and at least one door carrier (16) for carrying the door. The door carrier is supported by the stationary track part (14) at one or more supporting points and displaceable horizontally in relation to said track part between first and second opposite positions. The door (12) is connected to the track device (13) such that the center of gravity of the door or plate (12) is spaced horizontally from the adjacent supporting point by a distance being a substantial fraction of the width of the door or plate (12). Thus, the door (12) is supported by the carrier (16) in a cantilever-like manner and the length of the track (13) may be reduced to a value substantially corresponding to the width of the door opening (11).

  • Patent number: 6141910
    Abstract: A motor vehicle door module, built as a preassembled unit, includes a windowpane movable between open and closed positions, an integrated window regulator assembly including a drive mechanism such as a drive motor or hand crank for moving the windowpane between the open and closed positions, a cable assembly, cable routers such as pulleys or sliders, a seal assembly, and a door frame assembly including run channels. The windowpane includes a bracket assembly which is slidably disposed within the run channels. The cable assembly includes a cable connected to the bracket assembly and the drive mechanism for transferring a force of the drive mechanism to the bracket assembly to move the windowpane between the open and closed positions. The cable routers are attached to fore and aft door frames of the door frame assembly and route the cable between the drive mechanism and the bracket assembly.

  • Patent number: 5791088
    Abstract: A vehicle door assembly includes first and second weatherstripping components secured directly to the vertically movable window beneath the opening between the outer door panel and inner door trim panel such that the weatherstrips are not visible. The weatherstrips include upwardly protruding lip portions which cooperate with the base portion of the respective weatherstrip to form a channel for carrying water out of the door assembly. By securing the weatherstripping directly to the window, unsightly beltline weatherstrips are eliminated. Also, the frictional engagement of prior art beltline weatherstrips with the window is eliminated, thereby allowing downsizing of the window lifting mechanism, and allowing the use of plastic or glazed windows because the abrasion of prior art designs is eliminated.

  • Patent number: 4575966
    Abstract: A magnetically sealed sliding window system including a perimetric frame including header and base portions each defining a narrow channel for receiving a glazing pane and an adjacent second channel. A sliding panel is seated within the second channel. Longitudinal magnets are secured on the inner face of the sliding panel. Where the perimetric frame is formed of nonmagnetic material, magnets also are secured along the header and base second channel sections. No magnets are required on the perimetric frame when same is formed of magnetic material such as steel. In sealed condition, the sliding panel is positioned above the floor of the base channel with the panel magnetically held. The magnets have longitudinally extending magnetic poles establishing a magnetic coupling between adjacent unlike poles. The height of the sliding panel is less than the height of the frame.
