Abstract: A regulator assembly for extending a component, e.g., window, sunroof or adjustable seat, of an automotive vehicle utilizing a flexible belt. The regulator assembly has a drive that is rotationally coupled to a first gear element having a first set of teeth. A second gear element having a second set of teeth is spaced a predetermined distance apart from the first gear element to allow the first and second sets of teeth to mesh and to allow the flexible belt to weave therebetween. The flexible belt is attached to the component, and loops around first and second belt guiding devices, e.g., pulleys, which are located on opposing sides of the first and second gear elements. The regulator assembly can further include having the second gear element rotationally coupled to the drive as well.
