Abstract: Herein disclosed is a window regulator for regulating a glass pane, which comprises a guide rail including front and rear vertical parts and a horizontal part which extends between the front and rear vertical parts to constitute a generally U-shaped structure of the guide rail; front and rear holders slidably guided by the front and rear vertical parts of the guide rail; a first structure securing each of the front and rear holders to the window pane; a second structure for defining in the guide rail two cable guide grooves which extend throughout the entire length of the guide rail; two drive cables axially movably received in the respective cable guide grooves, the drive cables having given portions to which the front and rear holders are connected respectively; and drive means mounted on a given portion of the guide rail for axially moving the two drive cables in opposite directions.
Abstract: Pull-up and pull-down wires extend toward each other from opposed positions with respect to a glass pane carrying member and are connected at their leading ends to spaced portions of the carrying member in such a manner that the two wires extend along a common line. A wire tensioner is mounted on the carrying member for tensioning the wires. The tensioner includes a torsion spring having outwardly extending end portions at least one of which is engaged with the leading end of one of the wires to bias the same toward the other.
