  • Patent number: 11326382
    Abstract: A device for compensating cable play within a cable window-lifter, including a cable including at least one section with a Bowden, the device including a cable-guiding element configured to receive an end of the Bowden, mounted in an axially displaceable manner in a receptacle, the device including a spring arranged between a supporting surface of the receptacle and a head of the cable-guiding element, configured to keep the cable under tension and thereby compensating cable play, where stop surfaces are provided on the cable-guiding element and on the receptacle, which can engage with each other during the loading of the cable and thereby stop further compensation of the spring, and where an elastic material damping the stop noises is arranged between the stops.

  • Patent number: 8176679
    Abstract: A gear mechanism part for a cable-controlled window lifter is provided that includes a gear wheel and a cable drum that can be driven by the gear wheel. The gear wheel and cable drum are disposed on a common axis. The gear wheel and the cable drum are coupled by a positive fit to an outside gearing disposed on an outside circumference projection. In the cable drum, a fitting chamber for cable end fastening is provided. The fitting chamber is disposed inside the outer circumference projection on a cross-sectional plane projected perpendicular to the axis. In this way, a more compact design of the cable drum and transmission of higher driving torque are achieved.

  • Patent number: 7823329
    Abstract: A housing for receiving a cable drum of an adjustment device for a motor vehicle includes a bearing point for rotatably mounting a cable drum, at least one wall encompassing the cable drum along the peripheral surface thereof when the cable drum is mounted in the housing, and a securing element arranged in a region of the wall of the housing and serving to secure a tractive device extending along the peripheral surface of a cable drum. The securing element is elastically configured and may be moved by deformation in the radial direction in relation to the bearing point.

  • Publication number: 20070175098
    Abstract: A housing for receiving a cable drum of an adjustment device for a motor vehicle which comprises a peripheral surface with guide means for a tractive means encircling the cable drum. The housing comprises a bearing point for rotatably mounting a cable drum, at least one wall of the housing which encompasses the cable drum along the peripheral surface thereof when said cable drum is mounted in the housing, and a securing element which is arranged in the region of the wall of the housing and which serves to secure a tractive means, extending along the peripheral surface of a cable drum to be mounted in the housing. The securing element is elastically configured and may be moved by deformation in the radial direction in relation to the bearing point.

  • Patent number: 6453617
    Abstract: An adjustable carrier for connecting a window pane to a window lift of a motor vehicle door, whereby the carrier is assigned to the motor vehicle door via guiding tracks. The carrier includes a base body and a holding body. The base body is guided on the guiding tracks of the window lift, and the window pane is clamped in the holding body. The holding body can horizontally sweep in relation to the base body, and a joint connection is provided between the base body and the holding body. An adjusting element which can be operated by a tool are provided for changing the position of the holding body provided for changing the position of the holding body relative to the base body. This position is directly or indirectly changed by an actuator in such a way that the position of the holding body relative to the base body remains unchanged when loosening or fastening the window pane.
