Abstract: This window regulator is constituted by a rail which is obtained in a single piece, by injection of a light-weight metallic alloy, integrating a great many of the window regulator components, like for example: the supports (1) for fastening the window regulator to the door of the vehicle, the support (2) and anchoring elements (6) for the drive motor used in the systems of electric window regulators, the coupling elements (5) of the Bowden system for tensioning the cable (4), necessary in the manually operated systems, the housing (8) for the cable-winding drum, the sliding or diverting elements (3) of the cable (4). Moreover, the rail leaves the mould, with an appropriate curvature for correctly following the window. glass, even though the latter has a very complex shape. Thus, the same rail can be used indistinctly for manual window regulators, electric window regulators and dual rail window regulators.

Abstract: A safety mirror support comprises a housing which presents the edges of the mirror area with an abutment to prevent the contact of the occupant's head to the mirror. In case contact occurs, elastic elements are placed behind the mirror for absorbing the energy of the impact and then releasing that energy once the impact force has disappeared. The elastic elements could include a spring made from metal of from plastic material. There is also a back plate placed between the elastic elements and the mirror, for reinforcing the mirror and for spreading the impact forces across the surface of the mirror.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is a rail-mounted sliding assembly applicable to devices which are installed inside motor vehicles and which comprise moveable elements, displaceable between two rails, such as slats for concealing roofs with a transparent element or for end bars of window shades. During the sliding motion, this sliding assembly is the guided element which experiences the friction due to displacement and suppresses the play in its connection with the rail in the two coordinate directions perpendicular to the forward direction. The friction is produced in a sliding shoe and the play in one direction and the other is absorbed in independent resilient means incorporated in a supporting runner.
